THEME & ROUNDTABLES:
At this spring’s drive-in event, join your fellow ICCSSA members in “sharing keys of knowledge”, or best practices, in a variety of areas impacting student services across the state. Attendees will be divided up into small groups before rotating through four 30-minute roundtable discussion sessions, each focusing on one of these themes:
- Technology: Entering Our Students’ Worlds – Discuss best practices for using technology to communicate with students
- Retention: Unlocking Student Barriers – Discuss best practices for improving student retention
- Beyond the Classroom: Passages for Student Opportunity – Discuss best practices for creating opportunities for students to learn and grow outside of the classroom
- Partnerships: Opening New Doors to Make Us Stronger – Discuss best practices for building partnerships with internal and external constituents that will benefit our students and institutions
Each roundtable will be led by a facilitator who will begin by sharing a best practice of their own before opening the discussion to the group. Attendees are encouraged to come prepared to share their own best practices in these areas so that others can learn from their successes. The goal is to help each other “unlock” new ideas that we can take back to our own institutions!
