How can a gender transition affect your staff member physically, emotionally and logistically? How does a gender transition affect staff differently than students and faculty?

Most students want to receive relevant texts from your institution, but creating a successful texting campaign isn't as simple as hitting send. Discover the best opt-in strategies, learn about different texting platforms and technologies, and see what a campaign looks like in action. We'll focus on planning, strategy, and implementation in equal parts, and you'll walk away with clear next steps to get started on your own texting campaign. This webinar is especially designed for institutions that haven't started texting students, but if you're already texting, we'll talk about common mistakes and sound practices that can help improve your campaigns.
Presented by Jens Larson and Isaias Nunez from Eastern Washington University

In 2016-2017, AACRAO and NASPA joined together to explore how student records could expand to include learning where and when it happens. The transcript, while critical within higher education, is not meeting the needs of employers and even students in reflecting the many ways, places and times that learning occurs during a college career. Supported by a Lumina Foundation grant, the two organizations enlisted 12 highly varied institutions to accelerate the development of new models for “Comprehensive Student Records.”
Dr. Green will discuss the forces that are driving the innovation, present a few of the models from the project and some of the challenges and lessons learned during the project, as well as next steps for registrars and institutions interested in this work. There will be time for virtual questions and answers during the one-hour webinar.
Presented by Tom Green, Ph.D., Associate Executive Director, Consulting and SEM, AACRAO
