CHANDLER, AZ — Join colleagues from across the continent at the 2015 Learning Summit in Phoenix, AZ, June 7-10. The Learning Summit is a working retreat for community college teams to connect with colleagues, discuss issues and explore strategies for focusing entire colleges on improving and expanding student learning.

Davis Jenkins, senior research associate at the Community College Research Center, Teachers College, Columbia University, will open the Summit on Sunday evening.

Monday through Wednesday, the program will devote a half-day to each of the five topic areas: student learning outcomes; student engagement; faculty and staff engagement; organizational culture; and quality, inquiry and accountability.

Each half-day session offers an interactive symposium, concurrent forums, and conversations about learning. Participants are engaged as full partners in all Summit activities.

The Summit is a team-based event, with community colleges bringing groups representing all areas of the institution. One veteran participant explains that, “The opportunity to work with our team was truly invaluable. This is always a productive experience.”

Don’t miss this opportunity to share your experience and expertise and to learn from others at this year’s Summit.

  • Q&A: How to Prevent Kitchen Grease Fires in Commercial Kitchens

    School cafeterias and university dining halls serve thousands of meals daily, relying on high-heat equipment like fryers, grills, and ovens. While these operations keep students fed, they also generate significant grease-laden vapors. Without proper controls, this grease becomes a silent fire threat. As a certified exhaust cleaning specialist and business coach who has helped hundreds of institutional facilities achieve NFPA 96 compliance, I emphasize that proactive grease management isn’t optional; it’s a core fire/life safety practice.
