College of DuPage Hosts 'From Classroom to Career' Oct. 30

College of DuPage will host "From Classroom to Career: Collaborating for Student Success" from 8 a.m. to noon on Friday, Oct. 30, in the Jack H. Turner Conference Center located in the Student Resource Center, Room 2000, on the College's main campus, 425 Fawell Blvd. in Glen Ellyn.

This free symposium will bring together educators at all levels, counselors, people in business, policy-makers, students, and parents to address issues related to successful student transitions from secondary school to higher education to the professional world. Professional development credits can be earned from this event.

This exclusive event will feature a keynote address by former Illinois Lieutenant Governor Sheila Simon on the mission critical role of teachers in enabling an adroit workforce and an engaged and discerning citizenry. In addition, the program will include three expert panel discussions addressing front-line, higher education and workforce expectations for students, and current best practices for assisting students in making these important transitions.

The symposium will close with a facilitated workshop that will provide participants the opportunity to network, interact and exchange ideas; and then collaborate to create strategies to better equip our students for the significant academic and career challenges awaiting them.
