Day One Webinar: Virtual New Member Orientation

Wednesday, July 8

10:00 am - 12:15 pm (CT) 

"NC3 Program & Membership Overview"

Ideal for new member schools and/or new faculty of tenured member schools.  Also, a great "refresher" for anyone looking to make the most of their NC3 membership!

This orientation will help you learn how to utilize your NC3 resources, implement NC3 certifications across multiple programs, take full advantage of the NC3 Membership Network and more!

Speakers:

  • Roger Tadajewski, Executive Director, NC3
  • Dan Ramirez, Associate Director, NC3

"Tenured Member & Recent Member Best-Practices"

"Student Successes & Education Transformations"

In our quickly-changing world, educators need to learn how to adapt and change while still meeting education and workforce demands. There isn’t an exact road map, but your colleagues in the NC3 Membership Network can help guide you. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, nor do you have to forge a new path on your own.

This year's Virtual Panel will feature best-practices from NC3 Leadership School members who have not only created educational transformations within their organizations, but have also used industry-recognized certifications and partnerships to support their local economy and their local industries!
 
Moderator:
  • Dr. Bryan Albrecht, President, Gateway Technical College

  • Dr. Joe Seabrooks, President, Cedar Valley Community College
  • Rhonda Hodges, VP of Workforce, Patrick Henry Community College
