PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

In October 2017-January 2018, PACC and NYCC collaborated to offer five regional assessment workshops. More than 100 faculty and staff from 46 institutions in both states attended. Webinars extended training while building a larger network for members to exchange ideas and share successful strategies. Upcoming professional development programs from CCNYPA will include training and capacity building for member students, faculty, and staff. Events will focus on engaged teaching and faculty, collective impact, and civic dialogue; issue-focused trainings in areas such as cultural competency for equity and inclusion; and workshops on student leadership for social change.
