Pathways to Student Development 2019 • Temple University • July 18th, 2019

Learn how to take your student development initiatives and co-curricular programs to the next level

In partnership with Temple University, we invite you to join us at Pathways, a first-of-its-kind event that will explore emerging trends, research, and approaches to student development and co-curricular programming. Be ready for a day of insightful talks, hands-on-workshops, and peer connections that will introduce new ideas or solutions relevant to your campus.

Pathways

We invite you to join us at Temple University as we convene like-minded individuals for a day of dialogue on student development and success. In this day-long event, you will hear peer leaders from universities across the region and country discuss the innovative work their campus is doing to drive outcomes.

You will also have the option to choose from a variety of interactive workshops from exploring how to construct your first student development program, or learning new ways to enhance an existing initiative.

Join us now!

Pathways 2019 will be kicked off at 9 am EDT in the main room. The main room live stream will include the keynote speakers as well as an interactive panel. At 1 pm our workshop live streams will commence. Choose which workshop is best suited for you!
