Join The Leadership and Training Studio and Erin Fischer for a two-day, hands-on, engaging and entertaining seminar. Erin will share how she wrote 90 programs in four and a half years and still has more ideas. (As a matter of fact, she has written eight new courses in three months.) You will learn how to write participant guides, facilitator guides, identify 40 learning methods and understand why you can’t write learning objectives until the end of your course! By the end of the two days, you will have a template for writing consistently and engaging material with ease. We are excited to continue to offer this outstanding professional development opportunity in a live virtual format using Zoom Video Conferencing.

Each year, ACPA's Commission for Global Dimensions of Student Development (CGDSD) hosts the International Colloquium, a half-day or daylong program that brings together scholars, practitioners, graduate students, and policymakers from around the world to discuss pressing global issues within the higher education profession. Every Colloquium takes a different focus on a substantive issue related to student success and invited speakers present and lead discussion and dialogue based around that topic. Through the Colloquium, CGDSD creates space for and initiates international and cross-cultural dialogue and collaboration among higher and tertiary education professionals and encourages its members to become engaged global citizens. This year too, CGDSD is excited to host the 2025 International Colloquium webinar series, which is free and open to all ACPA members to participate. The Colloquium will explore critical issues in higher education internationalization, focusing on international students' education, well-being, and social justice in global contexts.

Amidst these challenges, collaboration and innovation are not just helpful—they are necessary.
