UPP Students at the PCSAO Conference

UPP3c UPP4c UPP5c


Every fall, the Public Children’s Services from all 88 counties in the state hold a conference. This year the Public Children Services Association of Ohio (PCSAO) Conference was held September 27–29, 2017. Our Child Welfare University Partnership Program (UPP) students were invited to attend:

Amanda Arnold
Heather Fraelich
Rebecca Kolb
Sarah Laubli
Gina Miller
Trevor Schwall
Rosa Young
Tory Young

This was the first year students were able to select the day they wanted to attend. This resulted in the University of Akron students attending each day of the three-day conference. Students identified their own sessions to attend and were immersed in all the stimulating learning throughout their attendance. Each day a name was drawn from attendees to win a gift basket and one of our own won a gift basket on Thursday. It was a wonderful conference and it was an honor to have our university represented each day.
