(You might know Erin who has hosted Program Design School for 10 years and has graduated nearly a thousand higher education professionals through that experience.) \nWhy should you (and your team) go? When we think about facilitation\, we know the right facilitator can make all the difference. You know this to be true if you remember the last bad facilitator you had. So\, we have created content to help you deliver the best for your audience. 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?

This learning experience is dynamic and valuable. Participants will be able to explore how to lead\, design\, and implement a curricular approach. ICA Faculty will offer learning opportunities including large group keynotes\, smaller sequenced sessions\, faculty consultations\, institutional showcases\, and more. Wherever you are in your journey individually and organizationally toward a departmental or divisional curricular approach\, this institute is a straight-forward way to obtain clear direction from higher education and student affairs professionals experienced with a curricular approach. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Through participation in ICA\, you will have the opportunity to:\n \n \n \n \n \n \nApply the 10 Essential Elements of a Curricular Approach\nDesign\, implement\, and assess a Curricular Approach\nLearn from other institutions implementing a Curricular Approach through Showcase presentations\nGet feedback from Institute faculty about your Curricular Approach through Faculty Consults\n\n \n \n \n \n \n What is a Curricular Approach?\n \n \n \n \n \n A Curricular Approach is a paradigm shift from traditional educational approaches to an intentional\, developmentally sequenced one\, defined by institutional mission and purpose. Staff members using a Curricular Approach first identify clear learning goals and outcomes grounded in the history\, culture\, mission\, and purpose of each institution. Then staff members identify student engagement strategies that can provide opportunities for students to achieve these learning goals and outcomes. Goals are sequenced\, pedagogy rooted in scholarship of teaching and learning\, and campus partners incorporated from throughout the institution. A Curricular Approach uses assessment to inform a process of continuous improvement. \nShifting to using a Curricular Approach is not superficial nor is it simply utilizing learning outcomes to guide programming. A curricular approach utilizes the 10 Essential Elements to think about student learning and a refined leadership mindset. \n \n \n \n \n \n Institute Features\n \n \n \n \n \n This learning experience is an institute and not a conference. Sessions are organized and sequenced to meet the needs of professionals and organizations at different places in their journey. Each session is also sequenced with learning outcomes to create an integrated\, developmentally sequenced\, experience for the participants. Showcases are also offered from a variety of institutional sizes and types to give concrete examples of how a Curricular Approach can be implemented consistently across campuses but also tailored for each unique campus context. \nWhether it is your first Institute or your twelfth\, you will leave inspired with new insights\, new collegial connections\, new examples and innovations\, and new energy. We have representatives from all sizes and types of institutions who have benefited from the Institute experience.  \n \n \n \n \n \n REgistration information\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n TeamACPA MemberStudent MemberNon-MemberStudent NonInternational\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Consistently\, some of the best feedback we receive from participants is from those who attended as members of an institutional team.

Bowman Center for Scholarship to Practice\, University of Michigan \nDr. Keenan Y. Colquitt\, Jr. is a scholar-practitioner whose research examines college men and masculinities\, gender identity development\, gender socialization\, and men’s violence. His work explores how men learn\, perform\, negotiate\, and challenge restrictive gender norms within higher education and other institutional contexts. His current scholarship focuses on toxic\, productive\, and hegemonic masculinities; whiteness and leadership; critical consciousness; discourse and gendered behavior; and the conditions that motivate men to resist harmful masculine expectations. \nDr. Colquitt is co-editor of *Critical Praxis of College Men and Masculinities: Experiences at the Intersections*\, scheduled for publication by Emerald Publishing in November 2026. The volume challenges monolithic and deficit-based approaches to college men by centering intersectionality\, agency\, social justice\, and the deliberate movement from theory to practice. He is also developing scholarship that uses popular media and shared cultural narratives to facilitate critical conversations about masculinity\, race\, grief\, vulnerability\, friendship\, gender identity\, care\, and belonging. \nA past chair of ACPA’s Coalition on Men and Masculinities\, Dr. Colquitt serves on the editorial board of the *Journal of Men’s Studies* and reviews manuscripts for the *College Student Affairs Journal* and *Women’s Studies in Communication*.

Administratively\, Dr. Wallace has worked in academic success\, tutoring as well as overseeing scholars programs for minoritized students. In addition\, his research centers on the question:Who must Black men become to exist in higher education? Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach\, his research uses qualitative methodologies and critical theoretical frameworks to (1) critically explore Black masculinities and Black feminisms in higher education and (2) examine how Black men in engineering develop their identities (e.g.\, race\, gender\, academic discipline). Guided by this line of inquiry\, his research illuminates the impact of an academic discipline’s culture on masculine thinking and being\, as well as moves scholarship and practice on Black masculinities toward an emphasis on divesting from patriarchy.  \njoshua.wallace@louisville.edu \n \n \n \n \n \n breakoutpresenters\n \n \n \n \n \n Session #1: Critiquing Normative Portrayals of Latinx/o Masculinities in Higher Education \nAbraham Cervantes\, Senior Professional Academic Coach\, Academic Success Center\, University of Tennessee\, Knoxville \nAbraham Cervantes is a Senior Academic Coach at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, and a doctoral candidate in the Higher Education Administration Ph.D. program.
