MSOD Director Open House hosted by VMS
Video Recording of Session

Join us for an Open House hosted by MSOD alumni Ashley Carson (Omicron Prime), Giuseppe Nespoli (Tau Prime), Ashley Hauser (Upsilon Prime), and Marne Maykowskyj (Chi Prime) of VMS, Inc.

To kick us off, MSOD Program Director Dr. Gary Mangiofico will provide a brief update on the current status of the MSOD Program. Immediately following, you’re invited to meander about our virtual rendition of Pajaro Dunes where you're welcome to jump from location to location to engage in conversations that interest you most. Whether you’re joining us first thing in the morning or at the conclusion of your day, please feel free to: 
  • Grab a cup of coffee and espresso your thoughts from the Conference near the Pelican Point Condos;  
  • “Re-wine” the first day at the Conference by sharing ‘aha’ moments over a glass of Syrah in the Shorebirds;  
  • Workout whatever may be on your heart with friends near the tennis courts; 
  • Dive into the refreshing waters of spiritual renewal in the Pacific Ocean; or 
  • Hangout in the Lagoon House with Gary if you have questions about the program.
Santé!

Choose Your Own Adventure
At any in-person conference, oftentimes the most memorable or meaningful moments of connection and restoration takes place outside the formal sessions. The same can also be true at our virtual alumni conference.

Choose Your Own Adventure gives you the power to choose what’s best for you in between and around the formal conference sessions.
