Video Online Seminar • Available On-Demand Monday, December 15, 2008 - Friday, January 16, 2009 • $124

Use the time between semesters for professional development! Magna is pleased to offer this seminar on-demand, at your convenience, anytime between December 15, 2008 - January 16, 2009. We've lowered the price considerably to allow you to view it from your home computer, or gather colleagues on campus to watch it together - the price is the same for one person or a whole crowd.

Many Millennial college students are also “digital natives,” people born into a tech-focused world. However, most higher education faculty and student success personnel are “digital immigrants,” people who joined tech culture later in life. This divide can be hard to cross, especially when we’re trying to motivate students to greater success.

Join us for this online seminar that will help you understand Millennials and digital natives and motivate them toward lasting student success. In 90 minutes, Dr. Jerry Pattengale will share research, best practices, and motivational techniques. In addition, the seminar will include cameos from North America’s leading student success scholars.

Here's what you'll learn:
• Understand the Millennial student and “digital native” profile
• Learn how the profile affects student life, teaching and admissions
• Gain a better understanding of using media in marketing to and teaching digital natives
• Review new literature on Millennials and what other institutions are doing to work with them
• Converse more effectively with students about college choices
• Tap into a wide array of resources, including best practices
• Discuss two simple but powerful motivational techniques--the “wedge principle” and “crossroads application”--to help Millennial students reach greater success
• Receive an extensive set of PowerPoint slides you can use to lead a session about millennial students on your own campus

Who should attend:
• Academic advisors
• Faculty
• Retention and student success professionals
• Academic chairs, deans, and provosts
• Student affairs staff and officials
• Admissions officers
