We invite you to join us for our third annual Honors College Mini-Conference, taking place virtually on Wednesday, February 12th at 11am (ET). This exciting event will bring together leaders from top Honors Colleges across the country, including the David C. Frederick Honors College at the University of Pittsburgh, Georgia Institute of Technology Honors, Northern Illinois University Honors, and the University of Louisiana Monroe Honors Program.

Learn why these forward-thinking Honors Colleges have abandoned legacy tech systems and adopted Suitable’s mobile platform to redefine the Honors student experience and improve student engagement.

Our speakers will share how they utilize key Suitable capabilities like digital badging, Co-Curricular Transcripts, and ePortfolios to scaffold student involvement and assess their Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs). In addition, they will provide insights into how they use this data to improve program outcomes, identify areas for academic enhancement, and eliminate administrative burdens.
 
This event will provide:
  • A look at how Honors Colleges seamlessly connect their curricular and co-curricular Capstone requirements with Suitable.

  • Tips for incorporating High Impact Practices to enrich the Honors student experience.

  • A How-To guide for leveraging student involvement data to improve Honors student success and eliminate administrative headaches.

  • Use cases for implementing shareable digital badges and micro-credentials into the Honors experience.

The agenda features a panel session, a partner story along with interactive Q&A after each session. There is no cost to attend and a post-event recording will be sent out to all those who register
