Teleconferences to outline teaching strategies

(March 26, 2004)--The UTSA Office of Student Affairs will host two teleconference sessions to help educators develop strategies to enhance learning and increase the numbers of students completing degrees.

The annual series of programs, presented in partnership with the National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition, is free and open to the UTSA community.

The center assists educators in enhancing the learning, success, satisfaction, retention and graduation of college students. UTSA will present "Rethinking Retention," April 8 and "Campus Activities," April 29. The first session, "Promoting the Public Good," was presented March 4.

During the sessions, experts will address institutional strategies and instructional approaches that help students navigate to a more productive future. The goal is to engage campuses in dialogues with national experts to promote student learning, address institutional concerns and provide practical solutions.

Resource packets and refreshments will be provided at each teleconference.

To register, e-mail tsurvillion@utsa.edu or call the Office of Student Affairs at 210-458-4136.
