The delivery of student services is essential to the enrollment and retention of students. Those professionals working in the area of student services need to be current on what services students are seeking and how they can best be delivered. This group is for student services professionals who aspire to discuss and master the competencies necessary for exemplary performance and top customer service in a dynamic, rapidly changing education landscape. Group members share best practices, ideas, thoughts, reflections, and resources to help colleagues across the globe improve performance.
I try to begin the week with a group touch on what everyone did as it relates to our course of study. Also challenging them to do something over the weekend that we can discuss in class as a "current events" class related subject for discussion.
