Presenter: Perry Hacker, Director of the University Guest House at the University of Utah
Most, if not all, departments on campus hold meetings and events throughout the academic year and summer. Additionally, most of them do not have meeting planning expertise or designated staff to organize these events. Because of this, these events end up squeezing the department's budget and may not be profitable or as successful as desired. Taking the burden off an administrative assistant or intern and using a third party planning service, such as a campus Conference and Event departments, creates savings in both time and finances. This webinar will show how you can partner with the community and other campus departments to create successful conferences and events both on and off campus, while saving money for the departments and making money as the planner. In some cases you may already have the staff available through conference services departments already on your campus. We will discuss how to start and grow this type of service based on your campus needs.

Presenter: Blanca Gamez, Assistant Director of Administration and Transportation at University of Texas - Austin
Electric scooters provide students and staff with a fast and personalized transportation option to assist in navigating campus space. However, this creates potential parking hazards due to scooters being left outside of designated parking areas, the possibility of enforcing scooter-free zones, and safety risks for students without protective equipment. Come learn about the University of Texas' successful best practices and policies on how to effectively implement and manage this innovative new transportation option.

Presenter: Aaron Neilson, Director of Dining Services at California State Polytechnic University - Ponoma
The mission of most auxiliary enterprise operations includes the support and success of our respective student populations. Measuring our impact on student success can be a nebulous thing, and we tend to fall back on the easily measurable financial contribution we provide to the institutions we serve.In this webinar, we will explore the measurable learning outcomes from a student success perspective of Innovation Brew Works, the first educational brewpub operated by students on a college campus. In doing so, we will also explore new revenue streams for enterprise operations in partnership with the university extension.

Presenters: Daniel Bureau, PhD, President-Elect of the Council for the Advancement of Standards (CAS), & Neil Markley, Associate Vice-President for Administration and Finance at Sonoma State University
There are a number of ways to conduct a self-study, including the new CAS Multifunctional Frameworks Assessment, which allows you to pull from a range of sets of standards to avoid having to do several separate self-studies. Typically, a department will conduct a self-assessment, examining evidence they collect to determine the extent to which they are aligned in the practices highlighted in the standards. However, it can be difficult to feel confident in a self-study without understanding best practices of how to develop both accurate, actionable, and reliable findings for the institution. Come learn about how to align your programs with standards, the use of the Multifuctional Frameworks Assessment, and how to conduct self-assessment and program review using the CAS Standards.
