Special PD Opportunity: “Trauma-informed Advising & Teaching” Session

(Fri., May 2, 2-3pm on Zoom)


Please join Academic Advising & co-sponsor Center for Teaching Excellence
(CTE) as we host special guest Dawn Bornheimer, VP Campus Partnerships,
U-Thrive Educational Services, Friday, May 2, 2-3pm (Q&A carrying on to
3:15 if you’d like to stay) on Zoom
<https://plattsburgh.zoom.us/j/85145133451>. In our presentation and
dialogue, we will:

   -

   Discuss some of the ways trauma shows up in our advisees, classrooms,
   office hours and student activities;
   -

   Frame trauma in experienced by students often as an obstacle to their
   navigating university life and therefore a barrier to persistence and
   retention; and
   -

   Describe some tangible actions that we as advisors, teachers, academic
   and student affairs professionals (who do not treat trauma or counsel) can
   do to shift from trauma-informed to trauma-sensitive in our daily
   educational activities (even without ever discussing trauma directly).

Though first publicized in emails as professional development for advisors
and teachers, a trauma-sensitive campus takes everyone, and all campus
staff are welcome to attend and participate. We hope you are curious, and
your Google calendar is free so you can join us.

Elizabeth R. Bernat, Ph.D.
Director of Academic Advising
