[LIBRARYDIR] Guided Pathways and Libraries: Centering Student Voice for Equity and Engagement - Feb. 9 online session

[Watkins, Candice]

Good morning. I sent this yesterday and for some reason, the formatting appeared strange to some folks (perhaps because I accidently sent it the bounce email for the listserv). Let's try this again! Here's the information about the session below. Fyi, I also sent this to the CLAMS listserv. Feel free to share with your library folks. Please let me know if you have questions!


Guided Pathways and Libraries: Centering Student Voice for Equity and Engagement



Hello WA CTC Library community! The Library Leadership Council<https://sites.google.com/lowercolumbia.edu/walibraryleadershipcouncil/home> (LLC) is hosting a virtual session that explores how libraries can transform themselves to better align with student needs and perspectives. We'll explore the findings of the Community College Libraries and Academic Support for Student Success (CCLASSS)<https://sr.ithaka.org/publications/student-needs-are-academic-needs/> survey, as well as learn about its impact on Pierce College Library, a participant in the survey.



In our session, we'll identify barriers for students and discuss library services and strategies to help eliminate those barriers.



What you will take away from this session:

  1.  A better understanding of student perspectives on the challenges they face as they pursue a college education.
  2.  Opportunity to discuss these issues with peers at institutions around the state.
  3.  Techniques to gather student voices at your college.


Please mark your calendars!

When: February 9 from 1:30-3 p.m. via zoom.

Hosted by: The Library Leadership Council<https://sites.google.com/lowercolumbia.edu/walibraryleadershipcouncil/home> of WA (LLC)
