The Search Advocate Community of Practice (CoP) is a monthly meeting for those who have already completed Search Advocate Foundations series. Trained advocates come together to discuss challenges, share strategies, and co-create the OSU Search Advocate program.

This workshop is a deeper dive into remote and face-to-face interviews in the search and selection process. For current search advocates, the session will provide one unit of the three required units of continuing education.
This workshop is a continuing education update for those who have completed the Search Advocate Foundations initial workshop series and will meet the requirements for them to remain eligible to serve in that role for another year. Content changes each year, but typically introduces new tools, reinforces recommendations for advocates, and provides a forum for practice and for addressing current questions.
