The 2022 Adviser Workshop offers an innovative format, letting advisers customize their schedule to their individual needs and circumstances. Sessions, taught by nationally-recognized trainers, provide downloadable resources and interactive opportunities. A variety of yearbook and adviser-related topics will be featured, including theme, coverage, design, photography and staff management. An optional tech training day offers instruction on Photoshop, InDesign or Encore.
