Overcoming Roadblocks to Student Success

Welcome to a new semester and a new series of "Nourishment and Knowledge" workshops offered by the Academic Success Center (ASC). For the first workshop, we invite you to join us for lunch and an exchange of ideas on this topic:

Overcoming Roadblocks to Student Success

#1:Intervening When Students Need Academic Services

Student Center Room 18

Tuesday, January 22, 2008

12:00-12:50 P.M.

Dr. Regina Clark will lead this workshop describing the services that the ASC offers and explaining how you can make use of the ASC to help your own students. Come to hear about the concept of "academic intervention" and how you can intervene when your students show signs of needing academic assistance. Join in the discussion about identifying such students early in the semester, directing them to the kind of help they need as soon as possible, and enlisting the aid of others on campus (including the ASC and its services to students). Your questions and ideas are welcome!

RSVP by Friday, January 18 in order to reserve a meal at this workshop luncheon. You may respond to Sonja Steffen (ASC Administrative Secretary) by e-mail at Sonja.Steffen@DickinsonState.edu or by telephone at 483-2999. We look forward to having you join us and our continuing conversation about teaching and learning at DSU.
