Pro Devo To Go Series

The CSI strives to offer diverse, engaging professional development opportunities throughout the year.  The Pro Devo To Go Series features books, news articles, blogs, podcasts, and other media that are, at their core, engaging and relevant to student-involvement work.  Content will be distributed widely for members to review, including discussion opportunities to further digest and apply the selection to practice.  Attention is given each month to providing members with ways to take the material back to their campus/organization to engage with others.  The goal of this program is to offer accessible professional development by featuring new content regularly for our members at little to no cost.  Twitter chats, webcasts, blogs, conference calls, and Google Hangouts are just some examples of engagement strategies to help participants connect and further engage with the Pro Devo To Go Series.

Members with suggestions fur featured content or with questions about the Pro Devo To Go Series should contact Vice Chair for Programs, Samantha La Mar.

CSI E-Series

The CSI E-Series is another way the Commission seeks to transcend its traditions of time and place-bound professional development. The E-Series is a collection of intentionally-designed, educational webinars, focusing on building content knowledge around the critical skills and hot topics most pertinent to student involvement educators today. Key emphasis will be placed on exploring the intersections of leadership and social justice within the context of student involvement, as well as applicable CAS Standards. At least one E-Series webcast will be featured each month. Check out our Events page to see upcoming webinars.

Members with suggestions for content and topics or questions about the initiative should contact Vice Chair of Programs, Samantha La Mar.
