Symposium Schedule
Along with informative sessions on program assessment, accreditation and top issues in higher education, this year’s symposium offers a variety of workshops to enhance your skills and knowledge.
Symposium attendees will also be able to use our Self-Study Resource Room with ABET’s library of real Self-Study Reports. In this quiet research space, Symposium attendees can view and read actual submitted Reports from a variety of accredited programs.
Below is an overview of the symposium schedule. All times listed are PDT.
ABET of Peace and Quiet – The Quiet Room
Need a moment to unwind? ABET of Peace and Quiet (our new quiet room space) is a dedicated space designed to help you relax, recharge and refocus during the Symposium. Designed by ABET staff, Shaina and Ashley, this space will be an ongoing staple at our event, providing a peaceful retreat for all. Whether you want to enjoy a good book, take a mindful break or simply step away from the buzz of the event, this peaceful retreat is here for you.
Browse our selection of donated books, settle into a cozy chair or mat and take a deep breath — this space was created with your well-being in mind.
Location: Aqua 307 – located on the 3rd level
