Covid Summer Programs 2.0: Adapting Pre-Orientation and Summer Programs for FGLI Students (4 pm EST)

With lessons learned from summer 2020, and the advantage of being able to plan ahead in 2021, we will be creating space for colleagues to share highlights of what has worked, what has been a challenge, and what they are building in the weeks ahead. We’re especially excited to share best practices from virtual programs that might be productively institutionalized in the long-term.

Come ready to hear what’s happening “on” other campuses, with five-minute “Igniter Talks” from Dartmouth College, the University of Chicago, Haverford College, and Princeton University. There will be space for others to share ideas and insights from their own institutions as well -- and for us to ask questions of each other -- as we move forward in these continued challenging times.

We'll start with a series of Igniter Talks, aka 5-minute power presentations that are designed to impact and ignite conversation. We'll be hearing from:

• Jay Davis, Director of the First Year Student Enrichment Program and King Scholars at Dartmouth College

• Raquel Esteves-Joyce, Assistant Dean of First Generation/Low Income (FGLI) Student Support & Programming and Interim Co-Chief Diversity Officer at Haverford College & Barbara Hall, Interim Director of the Haverford College John P. Chesick Scholars Program

• Ashlee Shaw, Associate Director for the Scholars Institute Fellows Program at Princeton University

• Devon Moore, Director of the Center for College Student Success at the University of Chicago

Following the talks, we will have time in small and large groups to ask questions, share insights, and seek support as we move forward in planning for summer 2021.
