Professional Development Opportunities
Welcome to the CSP Professional Development Calendar
Our goal for this calendar is to provide a space to share upcoming workshops, webinars, training sessions, and networking events for student affairs and higher education professionals. Most of these will be virtual opportunities but we're happy to include events at Western and the surrounding area. We encourage you to take an active role in shaping your professional development journey — submit your events and explore the calendar for events that may interest you or your colleagues.
Please note that this page is in progress. We hope to have it ready for use by the end of the Fall 2024 semester. This is a preview of what's to come. Thank you!
