May 2012 Brown Bag Spotlight:Dana Mordecai Lisa Valentine "Conference Outside the Box: Using Blackboard to Create a Virtual Graduate Recruitment Fair"
|
CLEAR welcomes the UNT Toulouse Graduate School's Dana Mordecai (Recruitment & Retention Coordinator) and Lisa Valentine (Recruitment Graduate Assistant) as they discuss "Conference Outside the Box: Using Blackboard to Create a Virtual Graduate Recruitment Fair". The UNT Toulouse Graduate School hosted an annual state-wide event, Lone Star Graduate Diversity Colloquium, in March. The event is a collective effort by all colleges and universities in Texas to encourage more underrepresented minorities, women, and first-generation college students to stay in Texas and complete their graduate education. To reach a larger audience, in addition to the two-day live conference, we created a virtual conference accessed by students at Texas Tech University, University of Texas–El Paso, University of Texas–San Antonio, and the University of Houston-Downtown. In addition to video conferencing of presentations, the virtual component also consisted of a virtual graduate recruitment fair, to our knowledge, the first of its kind. The virtual graduate fair allowed students one-on-one or small group interactions with representatives from graduate schools across the state. In our presentation we will discuss CLEAR’s support of the virtual conference, how we got started, technology, executing the event, and lessons learned. The Brown Bag will meet CLEAR will also stream the presentation LIVE online.
We look forward to seeing you. If you have ideas of specific faculty doing interesting things in the online learning environment, please send your ideas to Michelle Farley at the Center for Learning Enhancement, Assessment, and Redesign and she'll be happy to schedule a presentation.
