This group of professionals, concerned
with advising programs at the two-year college level, was
established in 1994 with the following objectives.
-
To encourage two-year
college commission members to actively participate in regional
and national conferences
-
To provide continued
support to and encourage networking among our members
-
To provide a link
to the regions through representatives
-
To report activities
to the membership
-
To establish and
augment venues for sharing of ideas, data, and support among
professional two-year colleagues
The commission has
an active electronic mail list for the exchange of information
and networking. It is a ready source for ideas and models
when addressing campus issues including recommendations for
changing procedures and methods to enhance the student experience.
Some of the challenges addressed are students seeking specialized
and associate degrees in unique situations, transfer credit
issues, and retention. To continue our efforts to augment
both communication and resource building, we have begun publishing
a new Two-Year
College Newsletter and a Resources
Web page. We hope to expand these offerings in the coming
year.
