The Role of Sustainability in Career and Workforce DevelopmentMieko Ozeki
Presented at AASHE 2014 in Portland, OR in October 2014. Sustainability offices are in a unique position on campus. With the ability to work across departmental boundaries of campus on sustainability initiatives, our offices can provide professional development opportunities for students to work on while meeting project and program objectives. Internship programs give students the chance to develop their hard and soft skills, gain work experience, and cultivate a body of work for their portfolio; all within the relatively protected setting of an academic environment. This session focuses on how we can serve as workforce trainers and career development facilitators, suggesting best practices for designing and implementing an internship program within your office.
Development and Implementation of Online Pre-Departure Orientations in Study ...NAFSA Tech MIG
Presented at the NAFSA Region III 2015 conference by Colin Large and Laura Semenow from the University of Tulsa.
As students become more active on college campuses, especially near the end of academic terms the traditional model of extensive in-person pre-departure orientations have come into direct conflict with student time constraints, as well as staff resources. At the same time, study abroad offices have seen an increase in the amount of information, both cultural and administrative, that needs to be communicated to students. This session will discuss the limitations of traditional pre-departure orientations and explore ways in which institutions can develop and implement online orientations. Finally, this session will outline limitations of online orientation programs and discuss potential solutions.

All business problems are people problems. And if you become a Jedi master of understanding and customizing your approach based on behavioral understanding, you gain an unfair advantage in your career.
In world of work, the masters of the universe are usually those who have mastered people skills.
Sometimes, these skills appear to be innate. But don’t be fooled; they can be learned.
The key to interpersonal skill mastery is understanding what makes people tick and adapting your style based on that knowledge. Once you’re able to do that, you’ll gain an upper hand for your career.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
