OHECC Information Distribution List

Want to receive information about future OHECC conferences and other educational opportunities hosted by universities throughout the state? The OHECC planning committee has suggested creating a LISTSERV list to facilitate distribution of this type of information and Miami has agreed to host it. Now all it needs are subscribers!

Please help get the word out about OHECC to your colleagues - share this link with others in your institution. (Note: participation in this listserv is restricted to members of higher education institutions.)

Note: To ensure that recent attendees get future OHECC information, we have "pre-subscribed" attendees for the past 3 OHECC conferences to the OHECCinfo list. If you would like to unsubscribe, please send an e-mail to listserv@listserv.muohio.edu with unsubscribe oheccinfo in the body and no subject line.

Gearing up for OHECC 2005 (a one-day conference) — We Want Your Input!

Shawnee State University will be hosting OHECC 2005 next spring - the dates and location will be announced soon.

In recognition of the extremely busy schedules facing higher education IT organizations, OHECC 2005 will return to the traditional one-day format with breakout sessions the afternoon of the first day and roundtable sessions the following morning.

Planning is underway for this event and we want your input. If you have suggestions for the program committee about what you’d like to see (or not see) in OHECC 2005, please share them with us by e-mail (OHECC@muohio.edu).
