Designing Programs for Student Success: From Structure to Scheduling (Room: 110)
Presenter: Rachel Lewis, Associate Provost, Academic Systems David Brower, Senior Director, Curriculum and Academic Scheduling
Room: TB 110
As we revise existing programs and develop new ones, it is more important than ever to design them with student completion and success at the forefront. Programs should lead to meaningful employment or seamless transfer as efficiently as possible, with requirements that are clear and easy to navigate. Courses must be intentionally selected to build the knowledge and skills students need for workforce readiness or smooth transfer to partner institutions. Beyond program design, course scheduling plays a critical role, ensuring required courses are offered in sequence so students can complete their chosen program without unnecessary delays. In this session, the Curriculum and Academic Scheduling Office will share recent work and newly established practices aimed at removing barriers for students, improving clarity of program requirements, and supporting timely student completion

Empowering the Change You Want: Authentically Confronting Problems with Incremental Change in Mind (Room: STC 207/213)
Presenter: Christina Holm, Assistant Director, Library Academic Services Shawn Adrian, Coordinator, Catalog & Degree Audit
Room: STC 207/213
In this session attendees will learn how the Vision Matrix Strategy Team Four translated a big strategic goal into a simple, action-based plan designed to resolve a friction point while also supporting SLCC colleagues. After a very short story about our strategic goals and our solutions, participants will use a guided worksheet and plenty of quiet thinking time to map one problem/friction point in their own work and sketch a low‑lift, centralized starting point—whether that’s a Canvas hub, web page, checklist, or streamlined communication.
With optional pair‑and‑share and an emphasis on working drafts this lab is designed so attendees leave with one tangible idea and a realistic next step, not a new project on their to‑do list.
