The document summarizes a presentation about student support and intervention relating to retention and student success. It discusses four case studies of students who received support: two with alcohol violations who were referred to programs, one seeking social involvement, and one with ongoing suicidal thoughts. It also notes that involvement sometimes does not translate to success and discusses challenges including low freshman retention and graduation rates. The role of student affairs staff in identifying and assisting at-risk students is explored.

As educators, we're aware of the importance of intercultural competency, but how can we better understand other cognitive and adaptive factors at play in Generation Study Abroad? As a necessary step in reinventing study abroad, we'll reexamine how students construct their experiences, how we can support their development, and the impact of study abroad on "meaning-making." Through the investigation of Robert Kegan's "Orders of Mind" and subject/object relationships and interactive discussion of his constructive developmental theory, participants will come away with practical tools to help students broaden their perspective before, during, and after study abroad.

How often have you heard about a student struggling abroad who could have been helped if advised sooner? We've seen an increase in the number students exploring study abroad who have "invisible identities" not often discussed. In this session, presenters will discuss the opportunities and challenges in advising, resources, and on-site support for such students with mental-health issues, learning disabilities, dietary restrictions, and allergies. Presenters will discuss the importance of early disclosure, planning, and partnerships for long-term inclusion, from university and provider perspectives.

Students who define specific learning goals before studying abroad are more likely to learn deeply. Formative assessment, based on clearly defined shared learning goals, enhances both buy-in and learning. A brief review of recent research projects will be followed by a guided small-group practicum about defining objectives and choosing appropriate instruments.

Mental Health and Higher Education
Introduction
âThe average age of onset for many mental health conditions is the typical college age range of 18 to 24 years old, said Courtney Knowles, executive director of The JED Foundationâ (Tartakovsky). These mental health conditions are a result of the many stressors that students regularly face. A few of the main stressors are due to anxiety pertaining to academics, financial, and social struggles. A majority of these pressures are rooted in actual problems, but some of them are solely perceived by the individual.
The academic aspect contains some of the most apparent stressors dealt with throughout college. In order to be considered a full-time student, one must have a course load of at least twelve credits, about three to four classes. Most majors require about a hundred and twenty-five credits to graduate. This means that taking only twelve credits per semester would greatly lengthen the number of semesters spent in college. This is a great source of worry for some students.
The rising cost of higher education is another common stressor. Many college students are low on cash, this due to their young age and the fact that many are coming straight out of high school and into college without spending time in the work force. Of course even if they were financially stable college debt is almost completely unavoidable. In the U.S. during 2010-2011 the average tuition cost for public institutions was $13,297. âBetween 2000â01 and 2010â11, prices for undergraduate tuition, room, and board at public institutions rose 42 percentâŚâ (U.S. Department of Education). That cost means a lot of cash straight out of pocket or a pile of student loans to get through and obtain a degree.
Another stressor is the social anxiety and all around general anxiety that comes along with attending college. Social anxiety specifically is something to be addressed during college. With how integrated technology is into our daily lives it has become harder to establish and gain the fundamental social skills that employers are requiring. Social skills are extremely important because once out of school and into the workforce many students must interact face-to-face with clients and co-workers.
According to the data collected in a 2010 survey conducted by American College Health Association, 38% of male and 54% of female college students have felt overwhelming anxiety within the last year. Another striking statistic from the same survey states that, 30% of students have felt so depressed that it was difficult to function (ACHA). Most students will face some sort of mental health challenge before graduating. That challenge may be something temporary or even lifelong. But, what kinds of challenges are students facing? How is this affecting the people around me who are attending college? Is there a connection between attending college and students developing men ...
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Â
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasnât one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

all names are fictionalized.
Four Case Studies/Situations are described.
ď˘ 1. Two students with excessive numbers of alcohol violations.
Students were referred into private, off-campus programs. One of
those students has returned to University and has graduated. The
other has completed work at Community College and has indicated
a plan to return.
ď˘ 2. One student who had little social involvement and sought help in
finding ways to be involved and ways to be successful. Referrals
were made.
ď˘ 3. One student with ongoing suicidality. A relationship was formed,
but student continued to be referred to professionals to deal with
the ongoing concern.
* Presenter is clear that cases have occurred where involvement has not
translated to success. Conversely, the presenter will assert that involvement,
in these cases, resulted in success that otherwise might not have occurred.
ď˘ Yes.
ď˘ On my campus, about 1700 documentations involving about 1350
students annually.
ď˘ About 1000 of those are alcohol-involved.
ď˘ About 16% of the 1350 students will have more-than-one violation; 84%
will have one violation. ever.
ď˘ UND institutional graduation rate is 54%. Graduation rate of students with
one or more discipline marker: 42%
Despite the anecdotal information, you also know that:
⢠each year, there will be four-to-six students who simply bust the curve in terms of
numbers of violations.
⢠(at a previous school, we called these students âjudicial all-stars.â) Like is true in a lot
of settings, about 3-4% of your population often consumes 25-33% of your work.
⢠off the top of your head, you can think of thirty-ish students who have flamed out.
These students came to school with dreams, but they and alcohol conspired to
prevent their success. They left the University after one, two, in some cases three
semesters. Their success, if theyâve had it, is unknown to you.
⢠except this one â this one student is the one I have had with (1) this kind of alcohol
abuse who (2) turned it around, did the work, and has since graduated.
A fifth case study is presented. Student has left school and there is no indication when
s/he might return

(UND): Our Greek Life system has a 77% graduation rate, and a near
90% freshman-to-sophomore conversion rate.
(Maine): Residence Life â how do we discuss institutional involvement
without starting here?
Principles of Practice:
1. no idea can be immediately dismissed.
2. no idea can be transferred one-campus-to-another without
adjustment.
3. always partner, always listen, always be modifying.
4. keep in mind that age-old adage,
âWhat is important is seldom urgent, and what is urgent is
seldom important.â
(this version attributed to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower)
1. keep in mind the basics of the office.
1. Safety. Always Safety.
2. Student Success. Encourage the Student to use her/his own academic
skills and the resources available at the Institution to build their own
success.

* It doesnât matter, for the most part, what the âitâ is â it matters that the
student adopts an it of their own.
3. Personal Growth of Student
2. there are times to be âfearless;â we must be fearless. At these times, we
have to jump in and trust our skills and instincts.
3. help student by discussing the five things that Vincent Tinto (and Tinto-like
practitioners) tells us correlate with student success.
1. Are you managing your alcohol and drug use? Abstaining, or using
selected substances in moderation?
2. Are you involved in something, usually a social-something, that connects
you to school?
3. Do you know your academic advisor?
4. Are you spending the time necessary to perform well in your classes?
5. Do you have friends who help you make good decision?
4. Be authentic. Be available. Be reasonable. Encourage but donât enable.
