Can't wait for our second annual Student Success US conference. I'll be moderating some panels and workshops as well as presenting in a few sessions--including one about new survey results and a speed session where attendees will get a few dozen ideas to "try at home." I can assure you that Dr. Amber Williams and the rest of her team will be fantastic hosts -- she is one of the most passionate student success champions I know. Here's what Williams, who worked in enrollment management prior to student success roles, said about professional development for student success leaders during a Q&A article interview last year (link in comments): <<<Much of my professional development is reading journals from faculty specializing in college student success, articles in Inside Higher Ed and other reported national trends. I’m still very well connected with my enrollment management colleagues, which greatly benefits me in understanding what’s happening from a prospective student perspective and the experience students have before they enroll. I’m also growing my relationship with academic affairs colleagues across the country through conferences and organizations. Our students are constantly changing, and the moment we, as educators, stop learning with them, we won’t be able to support them. Understanding where students are and what they need to thrive is critically important.>>> To phrase that last bit another way, come to our conference so you can get perspective and ideas to help your students thrive!
