LinkedIn Learning — Recommended Course of the Week 

 ~ 58 minutes


Building Trust

Trust is a fundamental aspect of any productive relationship. In business, trust has been proven to decrease turnover, increase innovation, and improve team performance. When trust is compromised, relationships and productivity can suffer. This course shows how professionals of all kinds can build trust with colleagues across their organization. Kelley School of Business senior lecturer Brenda Bailey-Hughes explains how to prove you are trustworthy, even in challenging situations like remote teams, and integrate trust-building habits into your daily routine.

Meditative Pause at SLCC 

Join SLCC faculty Heidi O’Donoghue and Andrea Malouf each week for Meditative Pause for People in Higher Education. Each week we will take a break from doing and problem-solving to come together for ½ hour sessions to connect, relax and center via web-ex. We’ll explore breathing and relaxation techniques, as well as best practices for mindful communication and well-being. Each session will include a very brief introduction to the weekly topic, a guided meditation and then a short group reflection.


No prior experience or registration required. Just join when you can. If you’d like to receive weekly web-ex reminders, please send your email and your department name to Andrea (andrea.malouf@slcc.edu) or Heidi (heidi.o’donoghue@slcc.edu). Or just email with questions.

Fall Session 2020: Thursdays from 1–1:30 p.m., August 27–December 10, 2020

Spring Session 2021: TBA from 1–1:30 p.m.  January 13–April 28, 2021


To Join: Click on the WebEx link (Andrea’s WebEx room). It may ask you to download the WebEx app, which takes a few seconds and is free. Be sure you have access to your computer or smart phone’s audio (video also preferred, but not completely necessary). 


We will also have a Canvas site up soon, with resources from each week’s session, so you can better incorporate this work into your daily life. 

 

“I found these session to be very valuable and re-energizing. Not to put too much on it, but I feel these are more valuable now than ever. I would be very interested in these in the future.” — Matt S. Merkel

The Center for Prior Learning Receives an Honorable Mention

Today, SLCC's Credit for Prior Learning department received an Honorable Mention from the  Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL ) and the  Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education  for its intentional approach and for expanding student options to receive credit for prior learning.  Credit for Prior Learning (CPL)  allows students to obtain college credit for knowledge and skills acquired outside of the traditional academic environment. This is exceptionally beneficial for adult learners, who, according to CAEL, have a 17% higher chance of graduating compared to those adults who don’t earn credits through prior learning programs. The CPL department at SLCC was created in 2020 and since then the volume of students served has grown as the department continues to expand. To be eligible for CPL, students must be working towards a degree, certificate, or apprenticeship. Director of Credit for Prior Learning at SLCC, Andrea Tipton, mentioned fee...
