The Roundtable is an annual conference that brings together human resource professionals, managers, university/college career services staff, and association representatives within the agribusiness industry to discuss high interest issues in recruitment and retention. Last year we reached a record high attendance of more than 190 participants from across North America. This conference is specific to agriculture and food and provides educational and networking opportunities that can be found nowhere else.
This program will be submitted for recertification credit hours through the HR Certification Institute and listed upon approval. Last year’s program was awarded 8.75 (General) recertification credit hours.
We hope that you will plan to join us for this year’s celebration of the 10 year anniversary of the AgCareers.com Ag HR Roundtable. We look forward to the opportunity to learn, work to resolve recruiting and retention challenges, and network together.
SPIE Optics + Photonics is the largest international, multidisciplinary optical sciences and technology meeting in North America. The five-day conference features plenary sessions, networking and technical events, and events for students or early-career professionals. There are also a number of technical conferences that focus on nanoscience and engineering, solar energy and technology, organic photonics and electronics, and optical engineering and applications.
Five day faculty development guitar design/build workshop. Build a custom electric guitar and engage in student centered learning activities that relate to STEM education through the design and construction of the electric guitars. www.guitarbuilding.org
A series of two workshops, the Nanotechnology Course Resource Workshops have been designed to provide post-secondary faculty and administrators with the resources needed to effectively teach undergraduate nanotechnology courses. This workshop focuses on: Patterning for Nanotechnology, Materials Modification for Nanotechnology Applications, and Characterization, Testing of Nanotechnology Structures and Materials.
SOLE - The International Society of Logistics (SOLE) presents its 46th Annual International Logistics Conference and Exhibition at the Omni Jacksonville Hotel, Jacksonville, Florida from 13-15 August 2012. With a conference theme of “Logistics Survivability: 2012 and Beyond,” keynoters and plenary/panel/paper presenters from government, industry and academia will address a broad spectrum of issues critical to understanding the significance of planning for, achieving and sustaining logistics survivability.

A grant proposal that includes a strong evaluation plan linked to a sound project logic model will be reviewed more favorably than one that does not. Will it make or break your chances for funding? No, but attending to evaluation matters as your develop your proposal, especially in terms of how you will assess your project’s intellectual merit and broader impacts, is likely to strengthen your overall proposal and give you a competitive edge. Considering your proposal through an evaluative lens as you are crafting it can help you avoid common proposal pitfalls, such as writing goals that are either too lofty or too simplistic or failing to demonstrate a logical relationship between your activities and your intended outcomes. In this webinar, we’ll share two tools specifically developed for ATE proposers: a detailed checklist for developing evaluation plans for ATE proposals and a template for creating simple, yet powerful project logic models.
The National Center for Optics and Photonic Education (OP-TEC), is a National Science Foundation (NSF) National Center of Excellence with the mission of promoting photonics education and assisting colleges around the United States in developing and implementing educational programs that support expansion of this critical technology.
As part of its efforts to provide faculty development in optics and photonics, OP-TEC offers a hybrid, online faculty development course in optics and photonics. This Open Entry/Open Exit course has been developed for faculty whose schedules demand a more flexible course timeline. It is perfect for busy faculty who might have difficulty keeping up with weekly assignments in a "scheduled" course, but who would have a period or periods of time during the semester or school year that would allow them to complete assignments and exams independently and at their own pace. It is also an excellent opportunity for junior faculty, adjunct faculty, and lab technicians who may need to prepare to teach a college level or dual credit introductory photonics course.
This online course is being offered at no charge to U.S. high school, community college and technical college faculty interested in teaching a basic photonics course.
The course will cover OP-TEC's Fundamentals of Light and Lasers. Modules Include: Nature and Properties of Light, Optical Handling and Positioning, Light Sources and Laser Safety, Basic Geometrical Optics, Basic Physical Optics, and Principles of Lasers.
Online: The course is facilitated by an instructor experienced in teaching photonics concepts at the college level and will require a high level of independent self-paced instruction. The six modules will be completed online and through email with the instructor. Though this course is self-paced, participants must pass all six End of Module tests by May 15, 2013 to be eligible to attend the Capstone Laboratory Experience in June 2013.
Hands-on: After successful completion of all six modules by May 15, 2013, participants will spend a 3-day Capstone Laboratory Experience at an OP-TEC partner college where they will have the opportunity to conduct laboratory experiments included in the course and discuss with experienced instructors best practices for teaching the materials.
Participants who successfully complete the online course and the 3-day laboratory session will receive a certificate of completion from OP-TEC. Participants may also apply for 9 CEUs from an OP-TEC partner college.
No tuition or materials fees! Participants will be responsible for travel, lodging, and meals for the 3-day lab session in June 2013.
Applications are accepted online or by email. For more information and registration, please visit http://www.op-tec.org/faculty, call 254-751-9000, or email op-tec@op-tec.org.
Learn about one community college program in which female enrollment has risen from 18% to 33%. Initially, less than 65% of female students completed the computer networking program. Using the IWITTS system, they turned around those results so now more than 85% of female students complete their classes.
Do you want to see more women in your technology classes, but you don't know where to start? Are you short on time, low on budget, but want results next semester? This webinar will get you started with proven, research-based strategies you can implement right away.
