Student Misconduct: Guidelines for College Administrators
As a college administrator, you have a number of options at your disposal when you are notified of a student's misconduct or threatening behavior. Choosing the appropriate response ¯ whether a referral to mental health counseling, a written conduct report in the student's file, suspension/expulsion, or referral to another department or agency ¯ can make a big difference in the outcome of the situation and the student's future at your institution.
Resource Development for Community Colleges
Securing funding for your community college, and figuring out what to do with it, is an important factor in your ability to meet growing demands for services and keep your institution strong. This seminar will focus on resource development and management for community college leaders.
Motivating Millenials and Digital Natives
Join us on Thursday, May 29 for an 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.
Business Continuity Planning for Distance Education
Distance education units are particularly vulnerable to business disruptions. For one, their reliance on technology to deliver education makes it easier to lose connection with their students. Moreover, distance students can more readily go elsewhere than residential students. When your competition is only mouse clicks away, continuity planning is vital to your organization’s long-term survival.

Resident Advisor Training: Best Practices and Essential Tools
Training resident assistants is essential, given the front-line work they do on behalf of your institution. You can help them do their jobs more effectively by giving them the tools and resources they'll need, and preparing them for situations they may encounter. If your RA training program needs to be updated - or doesn't exist at all - this seminar will give you ideas and tools you can implement in time for the upcoming semester.
Quality Matters: Does Your Online Course Meet the Standards?
If quality online course design is your goal, join us for a guided tour that will help identify the strengths and areas for improvement in your online course. Using your own online course, you will learn more about quality rubrics and process, apply the standards to your own course, and have an opportunity to review issues around “quality” course design.
