Open access makes the community college system one of the triumphs of American education. The embrace of a broad constituency, with diverse backgrounds and equally diverse learning needs, gives community colleges a unique ability to improve and enrich the areas they serve.

But open access also presents community colleges with one of their biggest challenges… how to ensure the safety of everyone on a campus that is almost continuously in flux.

Led by Dr. Denise Swett of California’s Foothill College, this 60-minute presentation looks at how to build programs that proactively address community college security issues and create a safe environment for faculty, staff, and students alike.

In Balancing Security with Open Access at Community Colleges, you’ll get valuable insight into topics including:
• Planning for emergencies and crises
• Dealing with high-risk populations: returning veterans, foster youth, gang members and criminal offenders
• Developing and coordinating support services
• Educating students, faculty and others about programs and sources of help
• Mediating and resolving conflict
• Making optimal use of technology in crisis communication
• Responding to incivility and disruptive behavior
• Building cross-departmental cooperation
• Establishing community partnerships
• And more

One low price … invite a group!
