Facilitating Student Learning Through the IDP
Monday, May 16 at 1:00 p.m. via Zoom and facilitated by Dr. Jodee Hunt
RSVP to receive Zoom Link
This workshop will discuss how faculty research mentors can utilize elements of the Individualized Development Plan (IDP) to further student learning and development. The IDP is a tool that was created to help students name and set their academic and professional goals. Dr. Hunt will discuss how to customize the tool for individual students’ needs and learning styles.
Moving Beyond Intention: Creating Structures of Support for Minoritized Students
Wednesday, May 18 at 1:00 p.m. via Zoom and facilitated by Dr. Jakia Marie (’13 & ’16)
RSVP to receive Zoom link
Inclusive mentoring is a recursive practice that requires time, attention, and reflection. This session is focused on helping faculty identify elements of their mentoring practice which are intrinsically supportive of students and making those elements explicit. Through discussing recent studies and best practices, faculty will be able to center mentoring philosophies on inclusion and deepen their practice to support neurodiverse students and those who are most institutionally marginalized.
Mentoring Neurodiverse Students (2 Part Series)
facilitated by Dr. Jamie Owen-DeSchryver
Part 1: Wednesday, May 25 at 1:00 p.m. via Zoom RSVP to receive Zoom link
Part 2: Wednesday, June 8 at 1:00 p.m. via Zoom RSVP to receive Zoom link
Like most universities, GVSU has an increasingly neurodiverse student population. Mentors can play critical roles in supporting students with Autism, ADHD, or other types of neurodiversity in their college experiences and help prepare them for post-graduate success. This two-part series is designed for faculty and staff and provides a strengths-based approach to understanding and supporting neurodiverse students. Sessions will occur virtually and will include a combination of lecture and small group discussion. Participants should plan to attend both sessions.
Unit Heads
4. Office plastic screen removal
The university is now at Alert Level 0. Offices that wish to have Plexiglas screens removed from workstations
may place work orders with Facilities Services. In multistation offices, it is not necessary to make an all-or-none decision; individual staff members may choose to retain their screens if they wish.
