About the Day
The Summit is all about sharing information and discussing common concerns. You will have a chance to examine a range of important issues, particularly in our Round Robin Sessions, which are short, 20-minute, interactive workshops or discussion sessions lead by Peer Tutors, Mentors, and/or their Supervisors. Round Robins are terrific professional development opportunities for tutors and mentors – fun, enriching, and do-able! Everyone is encouraged to submit a Round Robin proposal. Once again, we are reserving one Round Robin slot particularly for Supervisors and one to two slots for collaborative, inter-department sessions.
The programme is designed to accommodate diverse schedules. We hope that you and your colleagues will propose a Round Robin, or attend part or – hopefully all – of the Summit.
The day’s activities will include:
- Breakfast: Available at check-in time through the morning sessions.
- Opening Discussions – Not Your Usual Information Session: We have devised a thoroughly engaging, interactive way to share information about your program or office.
- Keynote Address: Raul Palma, DePaul Alum, and former Student Support Services TRiO mentor, and College of Education Academic Center writing tutor.
- Lunch
- Morning and Afternoon Round Robin Sessions: Short, 20-minute interactive workshops or discussions on topics related to the Summit’s theme. Round Robin leaders will repeat their sessions a set number of times as groups of attendees move from table to table.
