NACA Programming Basics Institute
June 10-13, 2010
Philadelphia, PA
Villanova University
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;
• Gain hands-on experience creating, promoting, implementing and evaluating events;
• Develop a network of peers to call upon for ideas, resources and problem-solving
strategies;
• Learn ways to creatively 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
• Form working programming boards with advisors and develop and present events during
the workshop.
Accommodations and Meals:
The registration fee includes housing and all meals. Efforts will be made to honor roommate requests that are submitted on the Participant Information Form included in the registration confirmation packet. If you do not have a roommate preference, a roommate will be assigned to you. All meals will be provided through your registration. Please indicate any special dietary needs on the Participant Information Form.
