Professional Development Day

Institutional Research and Effectiveness

Sessions - When: October 5

Creating Culture of Care on Campus: While student mental health is a shared responsibility on campus, it is important to understand that faculty and staff do not have to be mental health professionals to extend support to students. Rather, faculty and staff play an important role in connecting students to appropriate campus resources. This presentation will review how supporting students in distress helps to cultivate a caring campus culture, while also improving student success and retention. Presenters: James Grimes and Kristin Wills, Counseling Center
Introducing Navigate: Come see the new EAB platform McNeese is using to bring together students, administrators, advisors, faculty, and other staff in a collaborative network to holistically support students across the college journey. Presenters: Catrina Boenig and Mária Raiford
Marketing and Communications Tools and Resources 101: We’re going to drill down into some of the resources that were presented during McNeese Week and provide more detailed instruction on how to best use those tools. We’ll also cover the sort of information we’d like everyone to share with us so we can help promote all the amazing things happening all over campus. Presenters: Ginny Karg, Liz Sanders, Michael Dawson and Tanya Brewster, Office of Marketing and Communication

The budget review will include tips on how to distinguish if your index is budgeted by expense category or the entire fund as well as how to view images of invoices in AppXtender (BDM). Presenter: Victoria Roach, Office of Administrative Accounting
