Have you ever wondered what you can do with the information you gain by attending ISCORE? Have you considered how your presence and participation in the conference could translate to actions that improve Iowa State? In 2018, we asked ISCORE attendees who participated in preconference and conference sessions from 2014 to 2017 to share their perspectives about what they learned, how they benefited and what actions they took as a result of participating. Over 160 past attendees responded, resulting in a 11.21% response rate. This interactive session will highlight those findings and provide attendees with ways they can begin to identify what they have gained through their participation in ISCORE events. In addition, the presenters will provide examples of how different information learned during the conference can be applied in work and/or personal settings. Finally, attendees will receive a worksheet they can use throughout the conference to help organize what it is they learn in each session they attend and how they can use that information in the future.
