The SALT Annual Conference is a free, all-day, peer-led, on-campus conference created specifically for Penn staff and faculty who are engaged in student affairs. It is an opportunity for colleagues to learn from each other and discover what is happening across our campus and throughout the profession. The conference is held a few weeks after graduation (end of May or early July) and includes a full day of sessions, networking, a keynote speaker and fantastic food!
