Best Practice Coffee Breaks: Breaking the Ice in a Virtual World: Helping First/Second Year Students Use Social Networking to Explore Possible Majors

We've re-imagined our best practices sessions to bring you a series of short presentations that are the perfect excuse to take an afternoon break and learn from our peers.

July 30 @ 2pm | Breaking the Ice in a Virtual World: Helping First/Second Year Students Use Social Networking to Explore Possible Majors
Ashley Cross, Career Development Advisor, Palm Beach State College Career Center

Networking is often times a difficult, but necessary skill for college students to learn. However, given the pandemic and how so many of us are online, it is actually easier than ever for our students to start developing this skill. A way we can simplify the process and make these interactions more accessible (and less intimidating) is by promoting micro-exchanges online and offering avenues for both peer-to-peer and staff-to-student learning. Join Ashley Cross, a Career Advisor at Palm Beach State College, in discussing some specific tips and scripts to help our shy first & second years start exploring majors through social networking.

Note: This session will be held via Zoom. Look for the link in a reminder email sent 2 days before the event.
