Washington Update |
The Obama administration entered office nearly two years ago with little by way of specifics on its higher education agenda. However, it quickly demonstrated its commitment to higher education in its funding proposals, beginning with a sizable investment through the stimulus bill and the overhaul of the student loan system which was enacted along with legislation reforming the health care system. Along with more support for higher education, the Administration has demanded more accountability from colleges and universities, sometimes through data requirements that have struck some observers as excessively intrusive. This session will provide an overview of federal higher education issues and assess the impact of the November elections on their future direction. |

Let's Get Real about Racism |
Though we may all desire an open conversation on diversity issues, often there is a permeating fear that it will become too emotional or disruptive, so we create ways in which to diminish the intensity and the directness. What we lose is the passion and the honesty, the trust and intimacy that only the truth and an open dialogue can offer.
In this revolutionary workshop, Let?s Get Real, we offer the kind of conversations seldom approached in most diversity experiences. We examine some of the fears and stereotypes that prevent us from having a truly open and authentic conversation with each other. We also explore what people of color can?t say and whites are afraid to ask and the reasons why. And, in the process, we practice how to effectively and compassionately hear the answers to these questions and ways to expand the conversation through curiosity, reflection and action.
Participants will learn:
*Effective cross cultural communication & listening techniques

Student Services in The Age of Entitlement |
We are all dealing with students who believe that for one reason or another they deserve to have an exception made for them. We also all have technology available to us that will allow us to do a number of different things for students and faculty. The question is, just because we can, should we? What is our ethical responsibility as registrars to
educate the students at our institutions? Shouldn?t the parents have done that? Speaking of parents ? is it our responsibility to educate them as well in many cases? We don?t have all the answers, but we have a few suggestions and are excited to discuss any solutions that others may have to these questions. |

Beginner's Guide to Waitlisting |
The Office of the Registrar at Indiana University of Pennsylvania worked with academic departments and deans offices to implement waitlisting on a pilot basis for Fall 2010 registration. While various academic departments have been doing waitlisting, this effort allowed studenst to get on a waitlist using web registration. The goal was to provide various areas with inforamtion as early as possible regarding student demand for courses. Additionally, it was hoped that the new process would require less manual effort from both the students and academic departments. Particular attention in this session will focus on how the pilot was developed, implemented, and communicated. Whether you're interested specifically in waitlisting or in the broad concept of implementing something new in course registration, this session may be for you. |

Realizing the Educational Benefits of Diversity |
The educational benefit of diversity on college campuses is well documented. So, too, are the difficulties experienced by underrepresented students, frequently students of color, on college campuses. Too often the result is disparately low completion rates. Learn strategies they can help students prepare for a successful experience ? particularly students of color who may enroll at predominantly white institutions. College personnel will learn how to support students through the transition period and foster those behaviors likely to result in post-secondary completion. Participants will share their own successes and challenges relating to this important work. |
