New to Summer Sessions Administration?
The New Administrators Workshop is Designed for You | |
| Jon C. Neidy |
Sign up for NAASS's popular pre-conference session, the New Administrators Workshop (NAW). Taught by Jon C. Neidy, the workshop encourages summer session administrators to share experiences and learn together. This highly interactive session will provide you with an opportunity to reflect on what you already know about your university, administration, faculty and programs, and merge your knowledge with new information about the uniqueness of the summer term. Over lunch, you will meet an experienced NAASS member who will be your mentor during the conference and introduce you to other NAASS members, all willing to share your concerns and discuss possible solutions.
The workshop runs from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm on Sunday, November 12. 100% of last year's participants rated both the content and the quality of the workshop as "excellent." The materials and handouts are a favorite aspect of the workshop - one participants wrote, "the binder is like having a Bible for summer sessions!" Interacting with and learning from others was another frequently mentioned benefit of the day. And Jon Neidy is a perennial NAASS favorite.
Register now for the New Administrators Workshop and meet Jon, your NAASS mentor, and colleagues who are new to summer sessions. Jon welcomes questions. Email him or call toll free, 866-880-9607. |
