Thus\, this session will shed light on how seasoned higher education scholars and administrators have navigated and continue to negotiate the terrain as it relates to advancing their administrative and scholarly engagements in environments. And\, how they have ultimately shifted their foci to foreground Belonging when the focus on DEI left them at a crossroads.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration information:\n\nComplimentary for ACPA Individual Members\nComplimentary for ACPA Chapter Only Members\n$10 for Non-Members\n$5 for International Non-Members (must currently reside outside the continental United States and Hawaii)\n\n  \npresenter information:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFred A.

First\, as your guides\, we have scoured through Mike’s Ph.D. research and are sharing the top 12 things participants need from facilitators and the results are fascinating! Join us if you want to practice your facilitative skills\, increase your audience’s evaluations score on your work\, learn how to flex your style to meet your audience\, figure out how to make your work more interactive using the 70/30 rule\, practice your pace and pitch\, and learn where facilitators can often go wrong. Finally\, we will teach you how to read your audience when they make a face that stresses you out. \nAs we share\, you never went to camp to watch videos about canoeing\, horseback riding\, and the ropes course. Why would your participants come to your course to watch you read the PowerPoints when they could be trying something themselves?
