Have you ever wondered if there were more you could do to help students transition successfully into the “real world”? One way is to get them talking to professionals in their field while they’re still in school. It is relatively easy to develop your own personal “Advisory Council” of professionals to help you achieve your teaching-learning goals. A panel of local community leaders and ISU students will discuss the benefits of using professionals in your field to assist in planning, teaching, and communicating with your classes. This is the ultimate win-win in civic engagement: students participating in the community, and the community participating in the classroom. Discover how creating these opportunities for connections influences student engagement and active learning and make your course content come alive.
