    • Inspiration and Best Practices: Sessions that inspire others by showcasing effective strategies, case studies, or initiatives that have positively impacted students’ growth and development, both academically and personally.
  2. Best Practices for Integrating Edge Experiences
    • In-Class and Co-Curricular Applications: Proposals focused on integrating Edge practices within academic programs (e.g., course design, assignments, mentorship) or co-curricular settings (e.g., student organizations, leadership programs).
    • Practical Strategies for 海角社区 Success: Approaches and methodologies that faculty and staff can apply to promote skill development, enhance engagement, and prepare students for their careers or further education.
  3. Sessions to Foster Collaboration and Networking
    • Cross-Departmental Success Stories: Proposals that highlight collaborative initiatives across departments that support student success, demonstrating how teamwork among faculty, staff, and student services enhances the 海角社区 Edge mission.
    • Roundtable Discussions or Panels on Collaboration: Sessions designed to foster networking and the exchange of ideas, where faculty and staff can share challenges and solutions related to student engagement and academic support.
  4. Showcasing 海角社区 Services and Resources
