Integrating Information Literacy into the First Year
OVERVIEW
Help make your first-year students academically successful by integrating information literacy into first-year experience programs and courses. Many first-year programs incorporate information literacy peripherally; the highest impact, however, comes from making it an integral part of the first-year curriculum.
In this webcast, you will learn how to:
Utilize librarians in curriculum planning
Create research-based learning outcomes that address information literacy
Develop authentic and engaging research experiences and assignments for first-year students
Foster collaboration between librarians and first-year seminar faculty
Join us online to learn how to effectively embed information literacy into the first-year student experience, as well as how two institutions are using these best practices successfully.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This program is ideal for first-year faculty who plan and develop first-year student experience programs and for librarians who work with undergraduate students.

Seven Steps for Effective Study Abroad Risk Management
OVERVIEW
Managing the risks associated with study abroad programs is an ongoing challenge for many institutions. Study abroad programs have steadily increased in popularity over the past 25 years, with nearly 300,000 students now studying abroad annually. This popularity, coupled with several high-profile study-abroad incidents in recent headlines, has put this topic at the forefront of many administrators' minds.
Join us for a webcast that will outline seven steps that institutions should consider when evaluating new study abroad programs or assessing existing programs, and how to implement those steps at your institution.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This event is ideal for directors, assistant directors, associate directors, and coordinators of study abroad programs, as well as any other individuals responsible for coordinating the details and logistics of international education trips. This content may also appeal to the university's legal counsel, coordinators of risk management and insurance, and other administrators involved with managing university risk and liability.

A Practical Approach to Fundraising Ethics
A single misunderstanding of donor intent, negative family interaction, or defect in a gift agreement can open up your institution to intense negative publicity, decreased giving rates, and possible legal liability. Considering these realities and the recent increased emphasis on ethics by fundraising certification organizations, now is the time to ensure your internal policies and external interactions are executed with the most robust levels of professionalism.
Invite your entire staff to join us online for a comprehensive ethics presentation that will enable you to meet the highest standards in your shop. Using complex case studies, this polling-intensive webcast will ask you to consider difficult decisions, any of which may impact your future work in positive or negative ways.

Designing Early Alert Systems for At-Risk Students
OVERVIEW
The earlier an academically at-risk student is identified, the better the prognosis for success in college. Early alert systems, implemented within the first 4-8 weeks of a term, can be instrumental in beginning an intervention that can help facilitate student success and increase retention. This conference showcases three very different institutions and three different successful approaches to implementing a system that creates a safety net for students.
The program will share a framework or model for designing a system, show how practitioners have implemented these different steps in the model, and give you a chance to brainstorm and outline your future system.
Join us in Atlanta to pinpoint ways your institution can identify at-risk students and to outline strategies for how systems can be structured.
LEARN AND WORK EVENT
Structured as a "learn and work" event, you will leave this conference armed with an action plan that will help you identify at-risk students on your campus based on retention research, your campus profile, and your data. Through a combination of plenary and working sessions, you will learn how to use different approaches in process, technology, and implementation to develop early warning systems and prioritize next steps for your campus.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Those who will benefit from this conference include administrators in student affairs, academic advising, counseling services, and learning, tutoring, and student success centers, as well as other decision-makers who have experience with at-risk student populations. This conference is right for you if are just getting started designing an early alert action plan or if you already have a plan in place but want new ideas and tools for making it more effective.
A TEAM EFFORT
We encourage you to send teams that include representatives from related departments. Bringing the champion of the early intervention initiative as well as a range of individuals responsible for implementing the initiative can be invaluable in coordinating your efforts.
