Holiday Break!

With the holiday season fast approaching, many of us are thinking of making time for family, friends, holiday celebrations and oH - FINALS! Yikes- where does the time go? It seems like we were just kickin' off this semester!

But before you know it the semester will come to a close and you'll be one semester closer to your graduation goals! It can be a very stressful time of year and everyone deals with that stress in different ways.

I thought it would be interesting if we shared with each other about ways you deal with the stress this time of year. Also share what your most favorite holiday event is? ....tree decorating, musical events, family diners?

Thanks ahead of time for sharing....I will be the first to post!

10th Annual ANTSHE Conference

10TH ANNUAL ANTSHE CONFERENCE March 23- 25, 2007.

The 10th Annual National Conference of the Association for Non-Traditional Students in Higher Education is quickly approaching. The conference will be held March 23 – 25, 2007 at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK. Sessions will be one hour each, running from approximately 9 am – 4 pm on Saturday, March 24th.

The National Conference of the Association for Non-Traditional Students in Higher Education (ANTSHE) is a conference designed for non-traditional students as well as the professionals that work with non-traditional students. This year, in addition to targeting these two groups, we will be expanding our offerings to provide sessions for the spouses/partners of non-traditional students.

The Theme for the conference is Leaders in Transition. We chose this theme because we recognize the fact that non-traditional students are already leaders, and are in the process of a transition from the workforce to college, and back again. The goal of the conference is to find ways to make these transitions easier. We also seek to maximize our leadership abilities, both in and out of the university setting, and use these abilities to build successful programs. Of course, we won’t leave the professionals out! We will also work to help professionals learn to better provide support and advocacy for non-traditional students on their campuses and to successfully meet the challenges of their positions.

The conference will be divided into four tracks, which are Student, Professional, Collaborative (applicable to both students and Professional), and Spouse/Partner. Examples of a few of the sessions include Leadership and Marketing Management for Non-Traditional Student, Career Transition; The Power of Networking, Distance Learning for the Non-Traditional Student, Taking your Student Organization to the Next Level. There is a wide variety of presenters from universities and colleges across the country! You can view a more detailed schedule of our breakout sessions on the conference website here.

If you would like more detailed information about the conference, please visit www.osunontrads.org. You may also contact Marie Basler at marie.basler@okstate.edu. For more information on ANTSHE, please visit www.antshe.org.

We’ll see you there!
