OHO U 2020 Virtual Conference: Recordings
Catch Up On Anything You Missed
We had an incredible turnout for the 2020 OHO U Virtual Conference, with more than 400 higher education professionals from 190 schools joining us to learn and network with their peers!
One of the benefits of hosting the conference virtually is we have the opportunity to provide recordings for anyone who wasn't able to attend, needs to revisit important information they missed, or wants to share OHO U with a colleague.
We hope you'll find the recordings below helpful, and we'll be sure to keep you updated on any upcoming OHO U events that we're planning for the future!
