Join the Higher Education Center in virtual water cooler chats to exchange ideas and connect with AOD professionals across the country. These chats are informal–much like when you find yourself in conversation at the water cooler or coffee machine in your office or at a conference.
The Water Cooler Chat series was launched at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic to give people a place and time to connect with other professionals around topics, questions, and concerns. It was repurposed in August 2021 to be monthly with a unique topic and facilitator. Since that time, more than 1000 people have engaged in topics such as community relations, harm reduction, cannabis, mental health, and recovery, to name a few.
To learn more about upcoming topics, please visit our Events calendar. For specific questions about the water cooler chats please reach out to hecaod@osu.edu.
