The portal for presentation proposals is open
for “Celebrating Student Success,” the third annual convening of minority-serving
community and technical colleges. Presentations are being solicited for
concurrent sessions on strategies to support student success in areas such as
the following:
- career pathways development and implementation
- "Earn and Learn" models: apprenticeships, work-based learning, and more
- dual enrollment and K–12 connection
- student financial literacy and empowerment
- instructor recruitment from industry
- strategies for supporting low-income and homeless students
This year’s convening will continue the work
to form and energize communities of practice at minority-serving community
colleges, and will be held in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 14–15, 2017.
Non-colleges (such as four-year institutions,
foundations, non-profits, and other federal agencies) are welcome to submit a
proposal, but the presentation should include a representative from at least
one community or technical college who will give a peer perspective.
Presentation blocks will be for approximately 20–30 minutes and proposals must
conform to specific requirements as directed on the conference website at http://conference.novaresearch.com/MSI2017/abstracts.cfm/.
Registration to attend the conference will be
open soon — but act now to submit a presentation proposal as the portal will
close to submissions on Sept. 29, 2017.
Please share this information with other
colleges or individuals that you feel would be interested in participating. If
you have questions, please email Erin Berg, community college program specialist,
at erin.berg@ed.gov.
