Join us to hear ideas and the best current thinking about how to operationalize viral testing and contact tracing for the fall.
Overview
As a health and wellness professional, you are currently planning for how to keep students healthy and safe in the fall in light of COVID-19. The front-end details are dizzying. You’re considering how to fund, staff, and implement testing. You’re examining technology and privacy considerations around contact tracing. In addition, you’re thinking through how to quarantine students showing COVID-19 symptoms. Have you taken the time to pause and discuss these ideas with peers as you move into the implementation phase of your plan?
Join us online for an in-depth, two-hour brainstorming and discussion session with your peers to share strategies and provide space to benchmark and ask questions. With engagement and connection as primary goals, you’ll participate actively in large and small group discussions framed around the following aspects of student health and safety for the fall:
- Viral testing
- Contact tracing
- Guidelines and protocols for when students get sick
Who Should Attend
Health and wellness professionals working in higher education who would like to benchmark their thinking, as well as share and gain ideas for operationalizing testing and contact tracing at their institutions in the fall, should participate in this discussion. Institutional leaders or members of task forces related to the fall 2020 reopening of campus may also benefit.
Limited Attendance
In order to ensure a high-quality learning experience, we have intentionally designed this Virtual Training to have a limited number of total attendees. To ensure access from both paying participants and also from those who have an All-Inclusive membership, when the membership cap is reached, only paying participants can register after that point (while spaces are still available). If you have questions about whether this program is right for you, please contact us.
The Academic Impressions Virtual Workshop Experience
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to exploring responsive issues in higher education. Our virtual workshops provide you with an active learning environment and an online space where you can explore ideas, get inspired by what your peers are doing, and understand the range of possibilities around a certain topic. Depending on what you need to solve a specific challenge at your institution, you will have the chance to gain ideas, plans, refinements, or connections with those undergoing the same challenges as you. You will leave these sessions with practical solutions that you can take back to your team or task force.
What you will get:
- Learn from what your peers are doing across the nation
- Gather unique and creative approaches that you may not have thought about
- Validate and vet plans and priorities
- Contribute your ideas and help shape the conversation
- Get work done in a space that’s designed to help you reflect, be creative, and maintain focus on the issue
- Connect with subject matter experts who steer the conversation and add value
- Experience expert facilitation to ensure practical outcomes and takeaways
As the coronavirus pandemic unfolds nationally, it is so important to keep connecting and networking with your peers - at a “social distance” - and to keep learning and developing as higher-ed leaders and professionals. Don’t let social distancing and quarantines prevent you from setting aside time for professional development. Everything is changing so fast; more than ever, we need to be pooling our resources and knowledge and finding the best ways to develop our capacity, connect and share with each other, and move forward during a challenging time.
*A limited number of FREE member spots are open for each virtual training. Sign up today.
