  • Private Higher Education Update During COVID-19 Date: April 10, 2020
    To: House Education Committee From: Susan Stitely, President Re: Private Higher Education Update During COVID-19 Date: April 10, 2020 Students Remaining on Campus Although most students are no longer on campus, many international students cannot go home and some U.S-based students without homes are living on campuses. Essential staffs are reporting to work to provide services in dining, buildings and grounds, and campus safety. The colleges are requiring students to observe state restrictions. The total number of students on AVIC member campuses is 609: Champlain College: 130 St. Michael’s College: 126 Bennington College: 116 Norwich University: 100 Middlebury College: 85 Landmark College: 25 VCFA: 10 Sterling College: 9 Marlboro College: 8 Challenges & Success with Remote Learning Technologically, the colleges are doing well with remote learning. Many faculty and students have pivoted to remote learning with resiliency and creativity. The online structure that many colleges already had in place helped facilitate that process. This is particularly true for institutions like Champlain College and Norwich that had strong online studies. However, Vermont’s lack of internet infrastructure is a problem for some of our colleges and is a problem that needs to be addressed by government. For students, broadband access in rural areas is a challenge and can be isolating. Many students at home have weak wifi signals and need printers and other resources. Students have been through a lot this semester including relocating, the cancellation of commencements, and the unexpected transfer to online learning which can be difficult for some students. In addition, focusing on schoolwork from home or far away from campus can be difficult for a variety of reasons.

  • Be All That You Can Be: Targeting Library Orientations to Military Cadets
    Be All That You Can Be: Targeting Library Orientations to Military Cadets Sarah LeMire First Year Programs Coordinator/Assistant Professor Texas A&M University Libraries [email protected] Stephanie J. Graves Director of Learning and Outreach/Associate Professor Texas A&M University Libraries [email protected] Zackary Chance Medlin Program Assistant Texas A&M University Libraries [email protected] Introduction At Texas A&M University, the Corps of Cadets is the largest and oldest student organization on campus. Each summer, nearly 1,000 freshman recruits participate in the Corps’ Freshman Orientation Week (FOW), a military-style orientation. Buzz cuts, white T-shirts, physical training, and academic success seminars introduce new cadets to life in the Corps and at the university. Due to their participation in FOW, cadets miss out on many other traditional freshman orientation opportunities. In order to reach this large and highly visible freshman cohort, the University Libraries adopted a military-inspired orientation approach that built upon the unique nature of FOW. Librarians strategically used the bonds formed by cadets over the grueling week of FOW by gamifying the presentation, incorporating competition, and relying on the cadets’ sense of camaraderie to create a fun and meaningful experience. This chapter presents a case study on how to target particular audiences in first-year orientations, specifically student cadets. Literature Review Many academic libraries provide orientations and outreach to students on their campuses. However, little has been written about targeted outreach to military-affiliated populations. Recently, librarians have begun developing outreach strategies to serve student veterans, including such efforts as military-themed events and exhibits, partnerships with campus veterans offices, oral history projects, and participation in campus orientations for veterans (Hudson, 2016; LeMire, 2015; LeMire and Mulvihill, 2017; Mills, Paladino, and Klentzin 2015; Samson, 2016; Sojdehei, 2013).
