“You Don’t Need to Re-Invent the Wheel…Paying it Forward: The Value of Collaboration When Starting or Growing Your LC Program.”
We are currently accepting proposals for the 2024 Best Practices Symposium, held on Friday, April 5 at College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, IL. This year’s theme is “You Don’t Need to Re-Invent the Wheel…Paying it Forward: The Value of Collaboration When Starting or Growing Your LC Program.”
Session leaders should explain how their institutions’ LC efforts benefitted from the prior experiences of others in collaboration with their own efforts concerning topics such as
Developing and maintaining institutional support for LCs
Curricular Design
Marketing and recruiting both faculty and students
Faculty Development
Student classroom engagement
Equity and Inclusion
Other
They should explain how collaboration with stakeholders on their campus helped build support for their efforts, and, where appropriate, how their own institutional environment required changes to fit their own circumstance, and how their lessons could apply to attendees.
Some additional questions you may wish to consider in developing your proposal are:
- Are there special partnerships in your institution that help support LCs that might go unnoticed at other institutions?
- Are there areas of higher ed with a lot to gain through LC partnerships that might not be engaged by all programs?
- What are your institution’s goals for students? How might we demonstrate how LCs get us there, and who can we collaborate with to better connect the initiative to the LC program?
