b'SATURDAY10:00AM11:15AM INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION: Engaging Students from Underrepresented TRADITIONAL PANEL Groups through Global Awareness and ExperienceThe benefits for students from international travel and study abroad are roundly recognized. However, these benefits are not always viable for students from underrepresented groups. Moreover, Historically Black Colleges and Uni-versities, Minority Serving Institutions, and Hispanic Serving Institutions face unique opportunities and challenges in attracting and financing students, and developing curricula interventions to create successful international education initiatives. This panel will explore diversity and inclusion of underrepresented students and/or Minority Serving Institutions in international education initiatives that deans have developed in their colleges or universities.TRADITIONAL PANEL ONE PLAN, TWO UNIVERSITIES:Supporting and Promoting Faculty in Creative WaysIn challenging budgetary times, faculty morale can become a major issue for a dean. The financial restrictions can mean loss of lines, programs, travel, etc., which adversely affect departments and the faculty in them. How can a dean support and promote faculty at little expense? Presenters will share strategies implemented at two regional, comprehensive institutions in the South. The creative, low-cost solutions range from a thank-you program to mentoring to a research newsletter. The session will also include ideas for expanding the shoe-string programs once budgets improve. OTHER BUILDING THE DREAM TEAM WITH ADVANCEMENT:Best Practices to Grow Your College, Increase Support, andActivate Your Alumni and FriendsOne of the most important roles of the Dean is to raise funds for his/her col-lege and to build partnerships in the community that will be financially fruitful. To support these efforts, the Dean often works in partnership with a director of development. This relationship between the academic side and advance-ment can be challenging and fraught with tensions. But when managed well, it can lead to tremendous value and enjoyment. This session features a collab-orative presentation from a Dream Team - a Dean and a Director of Devel-opment who are working effectively together to advance the mission of the college and the university. In the session, we will provide concrete strategies for Deans to (a) work effectively with their Director of Development, (b) bal-ance efforts to cultivate prospective donors and alumni, (c) make an effective ask for major gifts, and (d) create a meaningful advisory council to support their external efforts. By the end of the session, participants in the program will leave with a practical model for achieving real results.
