As winter unfolds, everyone is encouraged to prepare for freezing temperatures and slick surface conditions. Dress in layers and wear hats and warm shoes with good tread. Equip cars with thermal blankets, first-aid kits, nonperishable rations, a snow shovel, and an ice scraper—and keep gas tanks full. Maintain a full supply of medications.

The college’s first priority is to clear roadway access for fire and ambulance vehicles and to provide accessibility for the mobility impaired. Please report your individual mobility or accessibility needs to Campus Services: student or employee. Weather responders will make every effort to keep necessary pathways clear.

What separates a successful leader from a mediocre one? You will learn what successful twenty-first-century leaders look like, and how you can adopt their inclusive leadership style during this leadership training workshop on Tuesday, January 19, at 12:15 p.m. in Butler Library 181B.

Using research, best practices, and stories from great leaders and everyday people, you will practice empowerment, accountability, courage, and humility. These are key leadership skills linked to inclusive, successful teams. Throughout the course, you will meet people like you who want to be the best leaders by incorporating inclusive leadership into their everyday lives. With short quizzes and compelling case studies, you will refine your skills each week. Most importantly, you will apply your new leadership skills through exciting real-life exercises.

Light snacks will be provided. Please register through the CyberQuad Workshop Registration System.

Academic freedom, tailored course content, affordability for students—these are important issues for many faculty members today. Join your colleagues and Lumen Learning to find out how open educational resources (OER) can address these issues and more during the OER for Open Courses workshop on Friday, January 22.

OER are designed for open sharing, collaboration, creativity, flexibility, and tailorability—in both online and face-to-face courses. Learn how to adopt, adapt, and build OER to increase affordability and access for students, give faculty members greater engagement in teaching and learning, and measure and demonstrate OER’s impact on educational outcomes and costs.

This practical workshop will outline OER best practices, report findings from research on efficacy and impact of OER-based courses, and enable faculty members to explore new pedagogical approaches enabled via open education. Designed to appeal to both OER novices and those faculty members who’ve attended Buffalo State’s previous OER workshops, this one-day event will bring attendees up to date with current developments in OER.

Sessions will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Technology Building 160 (morning sessions) and Technology Building 358 (afternoon sessions). The final agenda, registration links, and more can be found on the workshop’s website.

Register for this informational and inspiring event today. Registration is now open to everyone, so please share this event with friends and colleagues throughout the region.
