As you can see from the length of this email, our Fall programing calendar is crowded, and we are still working on additional opportunities and partnerships for Spring 2022. That being said, it's probably a good idea to re-introduce you the staff at the CPD. They can help answer your questions or direct you to the correct resource. Simply reach out directly or email our general inbox at cpdinfo@suny.edu for assistance.

One of our larger projects involves working with our SUNY partners to provide training throughout the SUNY Digital Learning Environment transition. To stay connected, SUNY employees can visit the DLE site and sign in (top right) to view updates and register for upcoming events.

You might have also heard that we intend to move our collaborative community, the SUNY Learning Commons, from the current Workplace platform to the Microsoft Communities (Yammer) application located inside MS Teams. While our goal is to transition from the Workplace platform by 2022, we encourage you and your community members to continue to communicate with each other without interruption at this time. If you have specific questions, please reach out to Kelly.Williamson@suny.edu.

Although our calendar is jam-packed and growing, please reach out to me at anytime regarding membership, conference support services or customized training.

I look forward to hearing from you,

- Lisa Raposo, Interim Director

The CPD and the SUNY Career Development Office Community of Practice are excited to announce the launch of the new Career Readiness Champion Certificate Program on January 4, 2022! The overarching goal of the program is to help faculty and staff on college campuses to learn the competencies (knowledge and skills) needed to create a campus culture focused on supporting students in planning for a career. The program consists of three six week asynchronous online courses delivered in Blackboard.

The online presentation submission portal is now open for the 30th Annual SUNY Conference on Instruction & Technology (CIT), sponsored by SUNY FACT2 (Faculty Advisory Council on Teaching and Technology).CIT is SUNY's largest and most prominent event on instructional technology, providing a forum for faculty, instructional support professionals, and policymakers to present, discuss, and explore innovative avenues for integrating technology into the teaching and learning environment.

All SUNY campuses, state-operated, statutory, and community colleges are invited to submit abstracts to present at this conference. We welcome proposals from outside the SUNY system as well. Proposals are due by January 2, 2022.

SAVE THE DATE: The SUNY Virtual Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Discussion Forum will host an open discussion for all SUNY faculty and staff on November 17 from 2-3 and Cultivating Leadership with a Latinx Lens: SUNY Hispanic Leadership Alumni Panel November 30 from 2-3. Both programs will take place in Zoom.  Registration will open soon and be promoted in the DEI Workplace group. 

Learn how to lead assessment initiatives on your campus in the Assessment Leadership course (co-sponsored by the SUNY Council on Assessment and the SUNY Center for Professional Development) - an online, asynchronous (no meetings at specific times) course taking place January 4 - February 14, 2022.This course is ideal for those who have completed one of the other CPD Assessment certificate programs.

The Online Teaching Certificate Program (aka New to Online Certificate Program) is designed to familiarize participants with the concepts, competencies, pedagogies, and best practices associated with the development and delivery of online learning environments.

The program consists of 2 (two) online asynchronous courses. The courses are 6 (six) weeks in length each, and they contain approximately 3-6 hours of work each week. Course 1: Getting Started with Online Instruction runs November 8 - December 19, 2021.

The FACT2 Excellence in Instruction Awards, Excellence in Instructional Support Awards and Excellence in Administrative Leadership Awards are system-level honors conferred to acknowledge and provide system-wide recognition for consistently noteworthy achievement and to encourage the ongoing pursuit of excellence. These awards underscore SUNY’s commitment to the use of technology to support access to superior education, to advance the boundaries of knowledge, and to serve the public good. Through these awards, SUNY publicly proclaims its pride in the accomplishment and personal dedication of its Instructional Faculty, Technology Support Professionals and Administrative Leaders. Please use this opportunity to showcase the excellent work being performed on your campus. Awards will be presented at CIT 2022.

This remote gathering will enable those involved in assessment on their campuses to learn about ways to leverage existing assessment data and procedures to move forward with meaningful changes related to the SUNY General Education Framework, self-study preparation, and student learning outcome assessment. The theme is: Enhancing Excellence In Assessment: Leveraging Assessment to Embrace Change.
