Attention NYCLSA Members!
Please save the date for our Spring Hub Event. On April 8th, David Arendale will join us to facilitate a virtual keynote on “Implementing DEI in our classes, learning centers, and peer learning programs.” After publicly embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in our mission statements, the challenge is moving forward with practical DEI actions that permeate our programs. There is no neutral ground for learning. This keynote will focus on DEI antiracist policies and practices. Some of the information shared through this webinar comes from a new group named the Colleagues of Color for Social Justice. David is an ally of this group and a co-convener. Several small group conversations will occur throughout this talk so that the participants can share how they are tackling the issues at their institutions and the solutions that they are using. Each of our four hubs are planning programming before and after the keynote. Please watch your inboxes for more information regarding registration and participation in this event. If you are not a member of NYCLSA and would like to join us for this event, please contact NYCLSA President Nichole LaGrow or NYCLSA Vice President Jane Neuburger. The New York College Learning Skills Association (NYCLSA) seeks presentations proposals for its
upcoming in-person conference at the Radisson Corning on Friday, November 12, 2021. Our conference theme is Moving Forward: Rethinking Community to Support Our Students. As we find our way through the new normal of a post-pandemic, twenty-first century world, we have much to think about, but it all seems to come back to community. What have we learned about building community in our classrooms and centers that should inform our practices moving forward? How can we support students as they return to campus or perhaps arrive on campus for the first time? How have our institutional and departmental communities changed? How can we respond to these changes? These are just a few of the questions we are all struggling with as we begin moving forward. Proposals should focus on one of the following three themes: 1. Revisioning Our Teaching and Tutoring 2. Responding to Students’ Needs 3. Recentering Ourselves and Our Organizations Proposals can select one of the following formats:
All proposals should be submitted by September 17, 2021, and the Conference Proposal Review Committee will confirm presenters by October 1, 2021. To submit a proposal please complete the online NYCLSA 2021 Conference Proposal form. For inquiries regarding the conference, please contact Nichole LaGrow, current NYCLSA President.
