Ways to raise the profile of TRIO programs on campus.
Academic affairs, enrollment management, student affairs, and advancement could all reach greater gains in their work by including TRIO professionals on their committees. With a deep understanding of first-generation student needs, TRIO staff voices need to be amplified so that they can represent the often-voiceless TRIO- eligible student.  In this part two of the series,  presenters will provide information on how to position your program and the program’s leadership as essential resources to your institution’s success. TRIO professionals are experts and thought leaders in first-generation and low-income student access, support, and degree attainment. Join this webinar to navigate a targeted strategy that will help the campus know how to reduce the barriers our students face in pursuing and obtaining their degrees.

The Psychology of Effective Communication
The Psychology of Effective Communication: Dealing with the Difficult, Inspiring the Demoralized, and Guiding the Motivated We all know that communicating effectively is one of the cornerstones of effective leadership and management. In our line of work there are program managers who, despite limited resources, meet and exceed program objectives and maintain an energized staff. Conversely, despite their best intentions, there are program managers that fail to meet their goals and have a demoralized team. A key element in both cases is how effectively the program manager communicates. In this highly structured webinar, the facilitators will use interactive activities, and discussions focused on helping TRIO directors, managers and supervisors discover tips and techniques to improve their communication effectiveness. The presenters will pay special attention to communicating with difficult staff members or institutional stakeholders.
