DFA Conversations is a series of ongoing, monthly gatherings designed to encourage and facilitate information exchange between DFA and its campus partners. Each session of DFA Conversations begins with a presentation by a DFA staff member, followed by generous amount of time for feedback, questions, and dialogue among all attendees. These forums serve two purposes: (1) to help members of the university community better understand how DFA supports the university’s mission, and (2) to inform DFA’s teams of the business needs of their customers.
Notices about these sessions are posted to the DFA Events calendar. All sessions are recorded via Zoom and attendance via Zoom is made available. Registration for Zoom attendance is necessary, and the link for registration is communicated before the session.
