"Anytime" Asynchronous Engagement

Streamed Session

Brief Abstract

Not sure what to do between sessions? Consider checking out OLC Accelerate's fully virtual and asynchronous engagement space. Each of the volunteer-driven engagement teams have prepared and carefully designed fun, engaging, and thought-provoking activities for you to take up on your own time. If nothing else, it is a great place to get new ideas for how to engage with others and build community. Plus, you'll get to learn more about OLC Accelerate's 2022 Engagement Team (a group of dedicated volunteers from across the field who designed this year's engagement programming). Looking for the join link? Just visit any of the engagement team pages in Engagez (e.g. Speed Networking Lounge, Field Guides, OLC Live!, Technology Test Kitchen, OLC Cafe & Mercantile, OLC Sanctuary, Escape Room, Innovation Crews, and more!).
