VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
The COVID pandemic has created unique challenges for us as educators as well as for our institutions, especially in meeting the needs of first generation and other challenged students.
To do this, colleges have developed new practices and innovative tactics to address the academic and personal needs of students. These adjustments highlight the importance of tapping into all the resources in and around our college communities, including those that might have been previously underutilized.
Where can we find and develop these “hidden resources,” both within the college and in the broader community?
This virtual conference, CHERE’s fourth Zoom conference, will help us do that for our own students – through peer mentorships, internships, tapping the “hidden” talents of our faculty and staff, community and faith-based connections, informal sports programs and the like.
We will open with a keynote address by a recent college graduate, sharing with us both the expected and unexpected resources that helped him succeed, followed by a student panel examining the broad range of supports each has discovered on campus. A panel of campus professionals will respond, followed by presentations by area college teams describing new ways they have found to support the success of their students.
