NSU's Spring 2012 Community & Collaboration Day, was held on March 6th, 2012, on the Broken Arrow, Muskogee, and Tahlequah campuses. Faculty and professional staff presented on topics ranging from using technology to cooperative learning to the upcoming Higher Learning Commission visit. There were opportunities to meet and talk to the presenters throughout the day.
A follow-up survey was sent out to all faculty and staff, to give everyone a chance to provide feedback so that we may improve future professional development activities. The results of this survey are summarized in the Community & Collaboration Day Final Report. Submitted proceedings can be found on the Proceedings page.
The purpose of Community & Collaboration Day was to provide to all NSU employees the opportunity to explore professional development topics of interest. Our theme this semester was NSU Core Values. The following conference tracks comprised the concurrent sessions:
1. Integrity: We model ethical and intellectual development by advancing honesty, human dignity and accountability.
2. Excellence: We pursue continuous improvement individually and as a community.
3. Creativity: We advance knowledge by exploring new possibilities through critical inquiry and intellectual freedom.
4. Leadership: We have a compelling commitment to serve, inspiring and preparing others to do the same.
5. Collaboration: We build partnerships to create learning opportunities and promote educational and economic success.
