Explore the emerging landscape of higher education.
Examine deep collaboration successes from other consortia.
Establish a shared agenda for our UNYCC work.
Embark on a future where we are “better together.”
Session I: 10:30-12:00 Cultivating Deep Collaborative Relationships Session II: 1:00-2:30 Deep Collaboration: The Claremont College Services
The STARS project was developed by Dr. Holly Wheeler, Professor of English/Philosophy at MCC, in response to the expressed need for understanding and supporting the success of student veterans. This project has three main objectives:
To educate the college community about the needs, concerns, and challenges of veteran students;
To develop a network of faculty, staff, and administrators willing to provide assistance, support, and a safe place for veterans; and
To provide visible support across campuses for veteran students.
**Those who attend the full series of workshops will receive a certificate of completion and “STARS Certified” sticker to post outside their offices. The designation provides visible support to military-affiliated students letting them know that they have entered an understanding space and that the certified individual is prepared to refer military students to the wide range of resources available.
