Spring 2019
From LA to LA Hello SACRAO, I wanted to thank all those who organized, presented, and attended the Annual Conference in Baton Rouge, LA. Brian Antie and his LAC prepared a wonderful conference. I trust that everyone had a beneficial and fun experience. One thing that people kept repeating in Baton Rouge was, “the selection of sessions are great this year!” There were many amazing sessions at Baton Rouge, and as is customary at SACRAO, one was chosen as the President’s Outstanding Presentation. The award this year goes to: “Signal through the noise: Using a multi-channel approach to reach Gen Z” Scott Burke (Georgia State University) Ryan Hogan (Valdosa State University) Joel Lee (Winston-Salem University)
