​Nancy Campuzano has been named the recipient of the 2022 Promising Student Award. This hard-working and persevering student has a strong vision for her future which includes becoming an elementary school teacher. Nancy is enrolled in Keuka College's Higher Education Opportunity Program and the challenges of being the first person in her family to attend college have not deterred her from exceeding her academic goals with a 3.7 Cumulative GPA. She plans to use her $300 award toward transportation to campus and to offset the cost of her textbooks. Nancy responded to her award with much appreciation: "I want to thank you for this amazing opportunity, it is an honor to receive the Promising Student Award. It means so much to me." Thank you for the nomination Larry Parker - other members please keep your promising students in mind for next year!

Save the Date! NYCLSA Spring Hub Event Scheduled for April 8th, 2022

2/10/2022

Comments

 
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.

NYCLSA Seeks Proposals for Upcoming Conference in Corning, NY

9/3/2021

Comments

 
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:
  • Workshop (fifty-minute, hands-on demonstration with audience participation)
  • Panel (three or more leading a presentation or discussion for fifty-minutes)
  • Individual Presentation (20-minute long presentation, will be paired with another individual
  • presentation in the same theme)
  • Poster Presentation (there will be scheduled poster presentation times when poster presenters
  • will be able to engage in conversation with colleagues)

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.
