History
The Professional Development Conference (PDC) was a product of a leadership development program at our institution; the participants noted that many university employees did not have regular access to professional development, so they worked with leadership to create a conference for MSU Denver employees, put on by MSU Denver employees and presented by MSU Denver employees. The keynote speaker is typically the only non-employee to present at the conference; we feel that by asking current faculty and staff to present at the PDC, our committee is providing additional development and presentation opportunities.
