Learning Community Thurmond-Clearwater Clear Thinkers

What we are doing…What we want to do…What we dream…What we know

We want to connect with students

degree audits are a “pull” pull students into the resources

“Push” getting information out effectively   this is more of what we might have as a struggle…

ECONOMIC CRISIS – doing professional development in other ways that are interactive  without going to a conference…don’t have the money

BUDGET IN FLUX  admitting more students and losing staff members…how serve more students with less people

Helping  somewhat resistant experienced advisors to use the technology available to them

mashup for better advising, registration, and degree planning

online pre-orientation for freshmen and transfer students

portals and content management systems to connect advisors on the back end

need a plan for advising

online resource for faculty and staff advisors…handbook, manual

take the scary out of Facebook and everything for advisors
