RE: Student Success Symposium
You are cordially invited to attend “Reaching the Finish Line,” a workshop and forum on student outcomes, student success, and retention. It will take place on Friday, February 10, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in ( Room TBA ).
Sponsored jointly by the President’s Office and the Staff Development Committee, this event is part of our efforts to provide you with staff development activities of value, particularly in this year of the accreditation self-study. The forum also offers an opportunity for you to meet and interact with two individuals who are highly knowledgeable and respected in the area of student outcomes. Dr. Thomas Brown and Dr. Mario Rivas will lead the symposium.
Dr. Brown is a lifelong educator with an impressive record of success in creating academic and student affairs programs that promote increased satisfaction, achievement, and retention. Dr. Brown is known for his ability to communicate effectively with the diverse constituencies that comprise educational institutions, organizations, and communities.
Dr. Rivas has worked with thousands of students in a 27-year educational career. In that time, he has learned much about how students support themselves to succeed. He will offer a list of recommendations for how to maximize student success. Drs. Brown and Rivas are co-authors of the article, "Pluralistic Advising: Facilitating the Development and Achievement of First-Year Students of Color."
Please plan on joining us on February 10. A continental breakfast and light lunch will be served. In order for us to make the proper arrangements, please RSVP if you plan to attend by notifying Shirley Hollingsworth, President’s Office, (818) 364-7795.
