NACA® Programming Basics Institute Delegate Packet
The NACA® Programming Basics Institute is geared toward NEW college student programmers who have little or no experience coordinating campus programs and events. This hands-on, interactive Institute offers new programmers the opportunity to develop and enhance essential skills necessary to produce campus programs.
Through large group sessions, cluster discussions and hands-on practice, participants will:
• Develop basic programming skills in an experiential format via creating, promoting, implementing and evaluating events during the Institute;
• Develop a network of peers to call upon for ideas, resources and problem-solving;
• Learn ways to publicize and promote campus events to specific audiences;
• Improve leadership skills in areas such as delegation, meeting facilitation and effective communication;
• Enhance their understanding of contracting and negotiation; and
• Advisors attending will have the opportunity to network with each other, attend large group discussions, participate in events and serve as mentors during the event-planning stage.
