Join higher education leaders to discuss:strategic planning, operations efficiency, leadership, building engagement, resource stewardship, environments for learning and lots more!
SCUP's 50th Anniversary Conference is where you'll build your planning skills to help meet your daily and long-term campus issues. You will find out how your colleagues are tackling the hottest issues on campus!
A growing emphasis on student success and outcomes has many implications, especially as institutions attempt to recruit and retain diverse, knowledgeable, and mobile populations. For many institutions, creating a transfer-friendly environment is a key strategy as students continue to transfer at higher rates. In addition, the use of technology is integral to enrollment strategy, and the activities of the registrar, admissions, orientation, and retention staff are often the critical difference between institutional success and failure.
With this in mind, we invite you to join the ongoing conversation at AACRAO’s Technology and Transfer Conference in Austin. The sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities at the meeting will help you develop and refine your own programs, policies, and initiatives and inspire others on your campus to make a real difference in the success of your students.

The recent tragic earthquake in Nepal has cemented the reputation of OpenStreetMap as a dependable source of information in the disaster management lifecycle. Open source methods of production have demonstrable results measured in terms of lowered response times, the ability to mobilize a vast network, and a publicly accessible repository of information that can be used in a variety of contexts.
By the same token, the same attributes of open access and open source make OpenStreetMap an excellent tool for education. Youth and young adults can use the OpenStreetMap platform to conduct their own mapping, which offers students valuable skills and geo-awareness.
This talk, by Humanitarian Steven Johnson, will focus on the confluence of student mappers making valuable contributions to humanitarian mapping and how TeachOSM is creating opportunities to connect the learning geo-literacy skills to basic human needs.
