Fall 2020 Southeastern Supplemental Instruction Conference Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Julie Collins. I'm the Executive Director for the International Center for Supplemental Instruction at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, or UMKC, and it is just a pleasure on behalf of my colleagues to announce the first southeastern regional SI conference. It's September 18th and 19th and the International Center is a proud partner in this effort. We're just thrilled that this is happening and that all the energy that's being poured into this. Our mission at the International Center as you probably know is to connect SI professionals to one another and proliferate those best practices that really best happen when we're connected and learning and growing together. So please consider attending September 18th and 19th. There are so many exciting things planned and we hope to see you there.

Focus on the Future Conference

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
