Supporting Students with Special Circumstances: Students with Housing Insecurity
In this breakout series we move beyond Advising 101 to dig deeper into the nuances of supporting students with a range of special circumstances: undocumented students, students with learning differences, students with housing insecurity, student athletes, military-bound students, and workforce-bound students. Experts from each field will kick the breakout sessions off with a short presentation, leaving ample time for questions and discussion. Delegated Year 2 advisers will help facilitate the sessions to ensure you’re equipped with information that’s most relevant to the advising experience.

There are 3 rounds of breakouts and 4 breakout options from which to choose each round. Each breakout option is offered twice throughout the rounds, so you have 2 opportunities to attend the sessions of greatest interest to you. Choose your own adventure!
