This schedule is subject to change as the Institute nears.
Advisers: The Adviser Experience is being redeveloped to better promote learning, networking, and integration. The Adviser Experience schedule will be available this summer.
Schedule Features
-
General Assembly. These are all-Institute sessions where everyone comes together for keynote speakers, ceremonies, and networking.
-
Small Groups. All delegates are assigned a small group, which becomes their cohort for the Institute. These are one of the best times to network with delegates from other institutions. These are loosely structured times where a small group leader will adapt to the group’s interests for conversation, learning, and networking.
-
Education Sessions. These are presentations about specific topics of interest to student government leaders. They may be interactive, but the primary format involves a subject matter expert presenting information.
-
Roundtables. These are focused discussions on topics of interest to student government leaders. A facilitator will guide discussion with prompts, but participants will be the ones sharing information.
-
Application of Knowledge. These are opportunities for student delegates to take what they have learned and put it to use. Whether it is presenting about your organization’s structure, participating in a case study, or creating a fictional student government from the ground-up, these are hands-on immersive learning opportunities.
-
Evening Activities. The networking extends each evening to fun activities. In the past, these have included improv shows, obstacle courses and a zipline, and a school-spirit fashion show.
