Many of you have been critically important in the recruitment effort and ultimate success of this initiative in the past, under Jennifer Jarvis' able leadership. It is my hope that you will continue to support this wonderful opportunity by identifying students this year and also sharing this announcement with key individuals who you think can provide nominations but are not currently included in the email addresses above. Please email me the names and contact information (including email addresses) of students who you believe could benefit from this important personal/professional development experience- by Wednesday, September 16, 2015. I will follow up and invite students directly. The first 10 students who accept will be able to participate. Many, many thanks for your assistance in helping our students access and participate in this meaningful event! All the best, Odalys Díaz Piñeiro, Ed.D. Acting Deputy Chief of Staff, Director of Strategic Initiatives Office of the President 65-30 Kissena Boulevard, Queens, NY 11367-1597 Kiely Hall 1209 | 718-997-5646 | Fax 718-997-5598 odalys.diazpineiro(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:odalys.diazpineiro@qc.cuny.edu> www.qc.cuny.edu<http://www.qc.cuny.edu> The details of this year's event are below: The eleventh annual CUNY Women's Leadership Conference, under the leadership of the Council of Presidents' Women's Leadership Initiative Committee, and co-sponsored by The New York Times in College will take place: Friday, October 30, 2015 8:15-8:50 am: Registration and Buffet Breakfast 9 am-4 pm: Program Hunter College/CUNY 68th Street and Lexington Avenue Manhattan The goal of this invitation-only conference is to inspire women students with demonstrated leadership qualities to further develop their skills and realize their potential as leaders. Perhaps the most important feature of this conference for the students who attend is that they have been especially selected to participate by their college presidents (via invitations extended by on-campus coordinators). The significance of this invitation sets the conference tone; students feel the empowerment of being acknowledged and rewarded. This year the conference theme is "Skills Building for Public and Community Service". We will replicate our proven format, introducing participants to a comprehensive, full day-long, program of speakers and panels, presentations by legislators and representatives of prominent women's organizations. We are especially pleased to announce that Donna E. Shalala, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Clinton Foundation, has confirmed her participation as the morning's keynote speaker. Her numerous and significant prior appointments include: President, Hunter College/CUNY; Chancellor, University of Wisconsin-Madison; Secretary, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services during the Clinton administration; and most recently, President, University of Miami.

See below and attachment, for those who may be interested. Sincerely, Adam [Description: Queens College]<http://www.qc.cuny.edu/> Adam L. Rockman, Ed.D. | Vice President for Student Affairs Queens College, CUNY<http://www.qc.cuny.edu/> | 6530 Kissena Blvd, Queens NY 11367-1597 718-997-5500 | Fax: 718-997-5640 | adam.rockman(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:adam.rockman@qc.cuny.edu> From: AAC&U President's Office <presidentsoffice(a)aacu.org<mailto:presidentsoffice@aacu.org>> Date: Monday, August 31, 2015 at 4:06 PM Subject: Invitation to AAC&U Centennial Forum in New York - November 17 Dear Colleague, I am writing with a special invitation to invite you to participate in a Centennial Year Forum that the Association of American Colleges and University (AAC&U) is hosting in New York City and to encourage you to bring a team from your institution. This one-day forum, titled Bringing Quality and Equity Together: Mapping Guided Pathways for First Generation Student Success, will be held in New York at the Wyndham New Yorker Hotel, on Tuesday, November 17. It is part of AAC&U's Centennial Year focus on bringing quality and equity together. Thanks to the generosity of major foundations supporting this exploration of quality, equity and inclusive excellence in higher education, there is no charge for your team to attend. We know that many institutions are taking a fresh look at the work on diversity, equity, inclusion and success for students from underserved communities. This Forum provides an opportunity for you and key leaders from your campus to work with others who share similar concerns. It also explores ways that you can tie your diversity/student success initiatives to the work your faculty and staff are doing on curriculum renewal and quality. This Centennial Forum will bring together educational, policy, and foundation leaders to examine the learning all college students need to thrive in a knowledge economy and to participate actively and responsibly in a diverse and global society. Participants also will examine the sobering evidence that both completion levels and access to quality learning remain highly stratified across income and race/ethnicity. Central to the Forum will be emerging evidence on "what works" in supporting higher levels of underserved student success, and especially the evidence that quality learning pathways that are rich in relevant, inquiry-based, engaged practices are themselves a catalyst to increased completion for underserved students. With new research on the value of guided pathways now in hand, the Forum will feature ways, in both broad access and selective institutions, that those guided pathways can contribute to the hallmark outcomes of a strong liberal-and liberating-education. A preliminary program is attached. You can find more information<http://www.aacu.org/centennial/forum/nyc> about the event online. The event is free of charge. To register, please follow this link<http://www.aacu.org/bringing-quality-and-equity-together-nov-2015>. A limited number of guest rooms at the meeting hotel will be available until Friday, October 16. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. I hope to see you and your colleagues on November 17th! Sincerely, [cid:image002.jpg@01D0E407.0883E530] Carol Geary Schneider President Association of American Colleges & Universities

[SADivision 0190] **Reminder** Call for Proposals for the 14th Annual CUNY Information Technology Conference -- Fall 2015
by Jennifer Jarvis 25 Aug '15

[cuny logo] The City University of New York 205 East 42nd Street, New York, NY 10017 Allan H. Dobrin Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Operating Officer Office: (646) 664-2888 Fax: (646) 664-2966 Email: Allan.Dobrin(a)cuny.edu<mailto:Allan.Dobrin@cuny.edu> M E M O R A N D U M TO: The CUNY Community FROM: Allan H. Dobrin DATE: August 25, 2015 SUBJECT: Call for Proposals for the 14th Annual CUNY IT Conference -- Fall 2015 ________________________________ On behalf of the IT Steering Committee, I am inviting your contributions to the 14th Annual CUNY IT Conference, scheduled for the end of the Fall 2015 semester. As has been the case for the past half-decade, the conference has been expanded to two days. The theme this year is "Instructional/Information Technology in CUNY: Innovating and Integrating." Please see the full call for proposals below. I look forward to your continued participation in this very successful gathering of the best that is thought and said about IT in CUNY. ________________________________ CALL FOR PROPOSALS CUNY's 14th Annual IT Conference Thursday and Friday, December 3 and 4, 2015 @ John Jay College of Criminal Justice Instructional/Information Technology in CUNY: Innovating and Integrating Innovation and integration are essential, nowhere more so than with academic uses of technology, but they pull in different directions: innovation strikes out in new directions; integration pulls in and consolidates. Without integrating the new, we would have only random acts of innovation; without innovation, integration would stultify rather than advance. The City University of New York's 14th Annual IT Conference will look at how our innovations can become more visible and sustainable as well as how integration can help us all move forward. What innovations are taking place in our core enterprises of teaching, learning, and research that we need to be more aware of and connected to? How has our functioning as a university system become more systemic and efficient? How do we avoid reinventing whatever new "wheel" emerges while making sure that we keep being inventive? As has been the case since its inception, the conference will be held at John Jay College, offering overviews of the University's key IT initiatives, discussions of how technology can support and advance teaching, scholarship, and administration, and a chance to meet with vendors. As always, proposals for presentations are invited from the CUNY community, particularly on how innovations can be shared and sustained. 1. What are important innovations are emerging? How do we know that what's new is not just different but better by careful assessment and evaluation? 2. How are we moving away from "random acts of innovation" and toward ways of consolidating and disseminating effective change? What are we doing to make innovations more visible, more accessible, more supportable? 3. How can alternatives to consolidation like collaboration and cooperation foster flexibility as well as integration, freedom as well as efficiency? Proposals are invited for panels or presentations but also roundtables, workshops, and other interactions. Specifying format as well as focus, each proposal should include a title, an abstract of no more than 200 words, and the name and affiliation of each party to the proposal. (Proposals are welcome from individuals but are particularly welcome from groups that have found ways of arranging multiple perspectives on a subject.) Proposals must be submitted using the form at cunyitconference.commons.gc.cuny.edu/<http://maestro.cuny.edu/trk/click?ref=zqtbwp23f_2-1225x34b4ax0532&> Proposals are due by 9/16/15. Acceptances will be announced by the end of that month.

[SADivision 0189] AAC's Fall 2015 Contingency Plan for Assurance of Services to Continuing and Incoming Students
by Jennifer Jarvis 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

HI Folks, As has become the norm, there are still a significant number of incoming students in the pipeline who have yet to come through an orientation program, meet with an advisor, and register. I spoke to Vinny earlier and here are some numbers: FRESHMEN: 1495 freshmen deposited; 1196 registered; we are hoping for 1320 new freshmen for fall 2015 (the other deposits may defer).This would mean at the high end, we still need to see approx.. 299 and at the low end, 124..... TRANSFERS: 2702 transfers deposited; 1843 registered; we are hoping for 2496 new transfers for fall 2015. This would mean we still need to see approx. 859. There are also continuing and re-entry students who still have yet to register. (We saw 67 of them this past Saturday; 94 of them yesterday; and 86 today, just to give you a sense of the traffic.) Given this, we are writing to you to request your assistance during this time period. Beginning on the first day of school (August 27th), the Advising Center staff will be primarily devoted to the remaining incoming freshmen and transfers who have not yet attended an orientation program. We will hold new student advising three times a day from the first day of school to the last day to add classes (September 2nd). In order to do so, we will invoke the established 'triage plan' for the other categories of students (detailed below): 1) Continuing students (currently-matriculated Queens College students) 2) Re-entries 3) Incoming freshmen and transfers WHO HAVE ALREADY attended orientation but who have additional questions/need additional assistance. These groups of students are triaged at the Advising Center's front desk. Those who can wait until we have walk-ins on Saturday, August 29th or resume full walk-in services on Thursday, September 3rd, are encouraged to do so. Alternatively, they and others who cannot wait, can use the computer lab in KY 236, which is adjacent to the Advising Center. The lab, which will be managed by Renae Wooten, director of Enrollment Services and her assistant, Kendra Mason, will be open from 9am - 5pm each day during this period. In addition to the staff that I can send into that room, we would appreciate volunteers to float around the lab and assist students. (Renae has already confirmed that we have KY 236 for this process.) Knowing, however, that there are complex issues and needs that may not be able to be satisfied in this venue, those who need more skilled/curricular assistance that cannot wait should be forwarded to the Counseling Center on the first floor of Frese Hall. (Barbara will provide to me her hours for this service and I will update the draft attachment.) Additionally, after new students have met with an advisor, they may also use KY 236 to register/ask further questions/be assisted/ receive help on navigating CUNYfirst; CUNYfirst MY INFO; Degree Works; and the Pathways General Education curriculum. Any possible time you or your staff have to volunteer in the lab would be appreciated. Again, the computer lab will be open from 9am - 5pm from Thursday, August 27th - Tuesday, September 2nd. If you are able to assist, please let me know when you are available (i.e., days and times). I have also attached the "7th Day Memo" regarding Financial Aid and registration, which is important to make available in your offices and circulate. Thank you, Laura
