Professional Development Day was held this year on February 12th, 2015 in the Texas Union on the UT Austin campus. Co-hosted by APSA and ACA, the annual conference was open to advising and student affairs professionals across Texas institutions.
This year's planning committee debuted some changes, including a venue change (moved from the Student Activity Center in recent years) and a
fancy smartphone app created just for the event (big thanks to Eric Carter for working his fingers off to roll it out in time!).
The theme was "Making Connections to Make a Difference," which resulted in the
adorable logo above!
Your Historian got distracted and forgot to take photos. But don't fret, your fabulous, talented, ever-present Secretary stepped up and saved the day. Enjoy these lovely photos, courtesy of Lovelys Powell:

Lego centerpieces! This is the future my 6-year-old nephew envisions for all of us.

| What an epic background for this photo! |

| If you squint, you can't tell that Beth is squinting. |
 |
| I'm not sure why the fearless leaders are sitting on the floor at this point. To make themselves more approachable to the general public? |
And some shots from various sessions:
Huge, gigantic, massive thanks to the PDD Planning Committee, APSA, and ACA members who came together to make this annual event such a success!
