Our 3CSN Fall/Winter Newsletter has arrived! |
Dear colleagues,
We are excited to share this year's 3CSN Fall Newsletter with you. This newsletter is traditionally distributed during the Strengthening Student Success Conference, but like the conference, we too have gone virtual.
Although we miss seeing you at our in-person events, we are even more appreciative to see you online with us. Together, in community, we are finding our way through these unprecedented times.
The newsletter highlights the great work of our network- the practitioners who are continuing to strive for student success in our community colleges.
We hope you enjoy seeing familiar faces, remembering our statewide events, and learning more about our extensive online offerings that have reached over 7,000 participants since March.
3CSN is humbled by your eagerness to learn with us.
With appreciation and hope for a healthier time- we thank you all!
Deborah & Jessica
Dr. Deborah Harrington, Executive Director, 3CSN
Dr. Jessica Cristo, Network Director, 3CSN

Friday, 10/23, 3 PM- 4 PM
In this one-hour round table discussion, peer educators other learning assistance professionals will read together, share insights, and learn from one another about how to engage and motivate students in an online environment. Together, we will explore this topic through a "text set." We will talk about what a text set is, how to create one for your students, and how to use a text set to lead your own discussion with your students. Participants are welcome to stay from 4:00 - 4:30 to more deeply explore how this could be done in any setting (classrooms, one-to-one tutoring sessions, or group SI or tutoring sessions).
