2:00PM – 3:15PM Opening Session French Lick Springs Hotel, Hoosier Ballroom 208 A&B

• Welcome and Introduction of Keynote Speaker: Dr. Russ Baker, Vice President of Academic Affairs and

University Transfer Division

• Opening Address: Dr. Kimberly Griffin Traditional notions of mentoring may lead us to imagine these relationships as

one professional sharing information, wisdom, and friendship for the benefit of one student. However, scholars and practitioners have increasingly challenged this model, urging an expansion of our understanding of what mentoring is and looks like. This conversation will introduce the idea of developmental networks, exploring how we can collaborate in a network of relationships to more effectively meet students’ needs. We will consider how to function within a network of support, as well as to strengthen our individual skills as mentors.

3:30PM - 5:00PM Affinity Group Breakout Sessions Join with your fellow Ivy Tech faculty & staff in a lively discussion around topics of common interest in our affinity groups. A moderator and one or two thought leaders on the topic will start off these conversations and then invite participants to join in to share big ideas, common challenges, and questions or observations about the topic. Each affinity group will produce a major points document that will be shared with all participants following the Student Success Summit. Sessions to choose from are:

• The Role of Accreditation in our Work ~ Clifton B • Connecting Programs to the Needs of Your Community ~ Clifton A • Advising Boards & Workforce Alignment ~ Windsor A • Fostering Multicultural Student Engagement and Success ~ Windsor B • Recruiting & Retaining Adjunct Faculty ~ Windsor C • Technology & Our Daily Work ~ Reagan

Limited Attendance Workshop by Dr. Griffin (ticketed event on EventBrite) Nixon

As we think about our role in developmental networks, it is important to consider how who our identity—who we are—and our student’s identity—who they are—shape our relationships. In this session, we will consider how our social identities and roles shape our ability to meet the needs of our diverse student communities. Further, we will discuss how to engage students who embrace identities different from our own, and create opportunities to establish connections based on similarity and fit.
