New Jersey State Drive-In: Session Highlights

Attending the NJ Drive on June 5th? Here's a preview of what's to come.


So Now I have to do that TOO? Promoting Faculty Engagement in a Meaningful Advising Program.


Faculty engagement is critical in any faculty mentor or faculty advising model program. By streamlining processes and making existing forms, paperwork and procedures more user-friendly, engagement and participation becomes part of the day-to-day procedure rather than an anticipated added burden. Using existing software available at the University, a more robust program was developed to enhance and encourage participation. Suggestions for adoption are offered and discussion is encouraged.

 Every Student is at Risk: Improving Learning, Retention and Satisfaction

Topics include: moving students from prospect to active alumni status, orientation is a two-way street, other duties not assigned, avoiding burnout, data driven decisions, campus politics 101, withdrawal testimonials, and the road to graduation. Each participant leaves with an "Educator Swagger Score,” a time-referenced goal setting sheet, and a wealth of resources essential for professional development and student achievement. The session concludes with “Memoirs of a Child Almost Left Behind,” as the presenter shares intimate details of the retention encounters with educators that transformed his life.

This is just a peak at some of the session you can attend. Check back often for more session highlights!
