NASPA's Student Services Institute (SSI) for Community Colleges Drive-in Workshop Series offers a low-cost, professional development program for your campus' entire student affairs staff, using notable experts in the field.
The SSI was designed specifically to address the unique needs of professionals and paraprofessionals working in community colleges. These institutions were selected as the target niche for professional development training by NASPA because of their often limited budgets for professional development of staff, many of whom have limited training to work with community college students. This three-part series of SSI Drive-in workshops will ensure continued quality services to the community college and its stakeholders.
Legal Issues in Higher Education
Friday, March 16, 2012 | 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. - Long Wharf Campus
Without a basic understanding of higher education legal issues, college administrators and staff are at a disadvantage dealing with challenges at their institutions. This day-long workshop will focus on:
- Federal and state laws, public records and copyright;
- Constitutional issues; due process and speech;
- College policies, academic grievances, discrimination; and misconduct, and student travel;
- Federal acts, Americans with Disabilities, Section 504, Civil Rights, Fair Labor Standards, the Clery Act, and Title IX.
Student Development Theory, Adult Learning Theory and the History and Philosophy of Student Affairs
Friday, April 27, 2012 | 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. - North Haven Campus
Community college student services professionals are crucial to the education, development, and success of today's students. Rising enrollments have placed even more demands on already busy staff. A similar enrollment surge at the turn of the 20th century led to the development of the student affairs profession. This daylong workshop will focus on:
- History of the educators, administrators, and psychologists who created student affairs.
- Theories of college student development such as Chickering's seven vectors, Perry's model of cognitive development, and Schlossberg's transition theory; and
- The unique history of community colleges and how this affects student services.
