Do you know what transferable skills to look for in a candidate interview? Can you describe what skills your volunteers, interns, and entry level employees will gain during their time with you? “Work ready” employability skills and competencies are gaining prominence in the national conversation & are increasingly required in job postings (including student jobs, internships, and community service work study positions for Pacific students). Please join us for a one-hour professional development session on Tuesday, September 2nd for a deep dive into using Pacific's "Core Competencies" in your job postings and interviews!

Meet the Artist: Terran Last Gun, a Piikani visual artist whose work connects ancient narratives to contemporary abstraction through vibrant color and geometric forms.
Responding to student requests for accommodations can feel daunting; however, many accommodations, especially those that request alternative ways for students to engage (e.g., participation, presentations, exams and other assessments, etc.) present an opportunity for us to consider multiple ways that students might engage with course content, each other, and their own learning. At this workshop, we will look at some examples of accommodation requests and discuss how adjusting our practices and habits to meet these accommodations can make our teaching more effective and inclusive.
Terran Last Gun, a visual artist and enrolled citizen of the Piikani (Blackfeet) of Montana, creates work that is both ancient and contemporary. He uses color and form as the building blocks of his art, which connects him to his Piikani heritage.

Many students benefit from extra support when using Moodle. Some require additional time or attempts to complete quizzes, tests, or assignments, while others may need printed materials. This workshop offers faculty practical guidance on using Moodle to meet the needs of students with formal accommodations and create a more inclusive course site. Participants will learn how to set up extra time and attempts for tests and assignments, create printed versions of exams, and configure quizzes and assignments for accessibility. The session will also cover simple strategies and tools to help students improve focus and access course materials using assistive technologies.
