Supporting Academically At-Risk Adult Students in an Online Learning Environment
The adult student faces significant challenges toward achieving their goal of successful degree completion. They have multiple family obligations, several employment responsibilities, financial stress, academic rust, a lack of proper resources, and a weakened sense of technology savviness. Thus, support for these students must be tailored accordingly. Employing the philosophical foundation of intrusive advising, this presentation will further examine appropriate advising strategies to support adult students on academic probation in an online learning environment.

Invigorating a Sense of Belonging in Year One: Proven Recruitment and Engagement Approaches
Maximizing student enrollment with retention-centered engagement activities is a known opportunity among colleges and universities. The influence of non-academic factors on retention, completion, and satisfaction creates an opportunity to re-imagine and re-define structural complexities, policies, and practices that impact outreach. While the diverse populations that mark community colleges offer unique challenges, they also provide a pathway to revisit recruitment techniques and branding strategies. The presenters will review viable engagement procedures and approaches instituted by one Northern Virginia Community College campus that has made an indelible impact for students in year one.

Virtual Reality: How Students’ Self-Perception of Invincibility Online Impacts College Campuses
Today's students are unlike any other peer group due to the advances in technology and changes in risk-taking behavior. These shifts have created a sense of invincibility for students where they are unable to differentiate the actions they make online from the physical world.

The Association of American Colleges and Universities "Call to Action" stressed higher education's responsibility to start civil discourse conversations, impacting free speech. East Carolina University made a significant change in 2016 that focused on turning free speech from conflict into conversation. That investment has led the university to redevelop policies, practices, and culture that now champions rather than manages free speech.

Do you provide a certificate for viewing a session?
The registered attendee can receive a certificate of participation if they have viewed more than 60% of the session. Certificates are available upon request and can only be issued in the name of the registered participant. Virtual Ticket registrations are not transferable.
-
Can I share my login with my colleagues?
We encourage you to view the sessions as a team to support professional development of student affairs professionals on your campus. However, your registration provides you with a single log-in (the Season and Works packages give you the option of adding one additional login to your registration). The platform where the sessions are hosted can detect and will prevent simultaneous logins. In addition, certificates of participation can only be issued to the registered participant and are not transferable. Therefore, sharing the login will prevent the system from keeping an accurate record of your individual participation.

Are the sessions captioned?
All presentation are captioned, both on the live stream and in the recorded files.
