Through this interactive workshop, we will put on our “UndocuLens,” a conceptual framework that will provide action steps, grounded in evidence-based best practices of educational institutions across the country, that members can implement to bolster support for undocumented students. Additionally, we will demonstrate how different forms of advocacy can collectively help bring institutional and state-level change for undocumented students.

The CollegeAIM tool aids in dissemination of evidence-based alcohol prevention, but there is limited information on how it is used and perceived by professionals. Join Dr. Ashley Helle, Ph.D. from the University of Missouri who will review recently collected data (surveys, interviews, strategic plans) from a statewide prevention coalition regarding their perceptions and use of the CollegeAIM tool and applications of CollegeAIM in strategic planning. Recommendations for selection and implementation of evidence-based practices based on prevention professionals experiences will be provided.

Join us as leading researchers who have published findings related to alcohol use, mental health, & coping of “Generation Z” students on campuses, including findings related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This free webinar will identify actionable strategies for higher education professionals to support prevention with Gen-Z.

We frequently hear “retention is everyone’s job,” but often, we have a small office or group of professionals championing these efforts. Presenters will explore the successes and challenges of instituting retention-based practices between academic and student affairs. Participants are encouraged to attend this presentation and learn about the efforts at Kennesaw State University while engaging in conversation about the retention climate at their institution.

This panel consists of professionals who serve in various capacities within student success coaching in higher education. Panelists will share their expertise on building, designing, and implementing success coaching programs and best practices in the field. The panelists represent different institution types, from small to large and private to public. The panel will be moderated throughout the program, with a question and answer period at the end of the program.

At R1 institutions, career outcomes have focused on the first destination, with corporate hiring and graduate school enrollment. Today, student success is larger than a first destination. “Career Readiness” is now an accepted student success outcome. Yet, how do research-intensive institutions frame this explicitly as tied to institutional learning outcomes and a shared responsibility of academic and student affairs? Three institutions, Stony Brook University - SUNY, College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota, and University of Texas at Austin- will share their models and approaches.

Perceived permissiveness from parents/caregivers about substance use is associated with students’ decisions related to substance use. Parent-based interventions, providing parents with skills to discuss substance use with their student(s), have demonstrated success in impacting and reducing college student substance use. As summer approaches, and as campuses consider opportunities to include parents in prevention efforts before the start of the next academic year, this webinar brings together experts who will discuss these parent influences, intervention opportunities, and the important role of parents as partners in prevention.
