Our Attendees Say it All

"Global Connect is a really nice balance of meeting new people, attending interesting sessions, and then also getting to connect with colleagues that you work with. But then I've seen a lot of former colleagues too, which is really fun. We're all at different schools now, so you get to meet their new colleagues and it's really a nice way to expand your network, mixed in with all of this really cool StarRez learning."

Lauren Way, University of Colorado Boulder

"Global Connect is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to connect with folks from similar institutions, completely different institutions, and also pick the brains of the StarRez team in order to enhance our operations. I really enjoy coming to the Global Connects, it's also helpful to be able to experience different cities and places that I haven't been to as well."

Latoya Muhammad, University of Missouri Kansas City

"I've been to Global Connect 5 times now. It's like a big family reunion, that's the best way to describe it... it's one of those things you come once and it's hard not to want to come back every time."

Dan Rohmiller, University of Notre Dame

"I found these conferences to be so useful in increasing my own knowledge and expanding the options that I have for changing business processes and helping out my staff when I go back to campus. I've also increased my network of people that I can contact."

Cassie Luke, Northern Arizona University

"Every institution should be sending at least somebody here. I don't think I've ever left a conference without bringing back at least one or two things that have fundamentally changed some of the things we're doing back on campus."

Josh Hill, University of Arizona
