Great news!  We are continuing the Elevating Cougs conference; a committee composed of a diverse range of employees from all WSU campuses are already engaged in the planning for the 2024 Elevating Cougs development conference. The conference will again take place over two days, so please save the following dates: October 22 and 23, 2024. Conference registration will open on July 8, 2024.

Save the Date: WSU's largest-ever employee development event is scheduled for October 22 and 23, 2024.

The theme of this year’s conference is: “Elevating Your Professional Success and Growth.” The conference will offer one external keynote session, with the remainder of the conference being built upon both main sessions, 60 minutes in length, and micro-sessions, 30 minutes in length. The lengthening of the sessions is in direct response to feedback we received after the 2023 event. 

This year, the conference tracks will expand to include four tracks of development to choose from: Developing as a Coug, Leading as a Coug, WellCougs, and Workday Success Stories. The conference will remain a fully online event, ensuring all participants have the best opportunity to attend as able while enjoy the same event experience. 

You can sign up for the Elevating Cougs Newsletter to ensure you are kept up to date on exciting news related to the conference. Our first conference newsletter for 2024 will be distributed on May 30, 2024, with subsequent issues going out on the last Thursday of each month.  Sign up to receive the Elevating Cougs Newsletter.
