Workshop Details

The fall 2023 regional workshop for Region 4 will be held at Bowling Green State University on Oct. 9, 2023. Workshop sessions will be held in Kuhlin Hall this year (map of BGSU campus). The cost of workshop attendance is $15 for students (lunch included) and $15 (no lunch) or $20 (with lunch) for advisers.

Advisers will receive workshop information and a confirmation shortly after OSMA receives registration. We will also email a draft program a couple of days before the event.

The Bowling Green State University School of Media and Communications is sponsoring all student’s lunch for the workshop. So the student price includes workshop registration and lunch.
