Hi all,
I'm going to lead a small group of up to 4 people this summer reading a book that was suggested to me for professional development. We've ordered 4 copies and I hope they will be here in the coming week or so. The book is College Success for Students of Color: A Culturally Empowered, Assets-Based Approach. More details are available here<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.tcpress.com/college-success-for-stu… .>.
The audience for the book is different than what I would maybe normally use for a reading group in that it is written with students as the intended audience. That is, though, what I like about this book and the value I think it is for us to read it. My hope is that as we would read through it, it helps us think about the ways in which we are communicating and using wording about student success that are both asset-based and approaches that resonate with students themselves. I believe this also really aligns with our Ecology of Validation approach that we're embedding at UNL. It seems to be a fairly easy read, so my hope is that the group I'll convene this summer would read the book throughout the summer and we'll have 3 meetings to discuss what we've read. If it works well, I'll continue an additional group in the fall.
Let me know if you are interested and I'll let you know when the books get in.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I hope the beginning of NSE is going well for everyone! We didn't have any pressing topics for next week's Student Success Team Meeting (6/13) so it will be cancelled.
I am also letting you know that we will be having an end of the year celebration at HopCat on June 19 at 5 PM. Be on the lookout for an invite with more details from Christina!

Hi all,
I visited with our leadership team and we wanted to shift a bit of our approach to planning socials for this upcoming year. If you would be interested in serving on a social committee with a few other people to plan the social events for the academic year for our student success team, we invite you to nominate yourself. There will be a small budget to work with (approximately $600-$700) for the year. There are a few regular social events we want to keep, including:
* End of the semester lunch (December and May)
* Secret Santa (December)
Beyond that, we have some flexibility with how you all would want to plan a social calendar for the year.
For reference, here is the calendar of events from this past year.
