Tuesday, September 29, 2020 • All-Day Event
Inver Hills Community College is holding a Virtual Student Success Day (SSD) Tuesday, September 29, 2020. The student-centered, all-day event features a keynote speaker, Tish Jones, poet, performer, educator and organizer.
Tish will speak at 10 a.m. in the Zoom Room, hold a Q & A at 11 a.m., and conduct a workshop at 2 p.m. The title of her presentation is “Narrative Shift: Voice, Storytelling & Exhibition as a Catalyst for Positive Social Transformation.”
Tish will explore the multifaceted aspects of narrative. By taking a deep dive into the ways in which narratives are constructed for us, our collective need to challenge and shift current and long-standing oppressive narratives, and begin to construct our own if we desire racial and social equity on a broad scale. Learn more about Tish Jones later in this post.
Virtual Student Success Day Fall 2020 will also offer one-on-one faculty time, a college fair, and many sessions to help students focus on their college goals.
Once the SSD sessions are available, you will be able to attend sessions via Zoom at specific times or watch prerecorded videos at your convenience.
