On college
campuses everywhere, there are students who are not well enough
prepared academically to take full advantage of the available
educational opportunities. How do we reach and help our largest
educational minority - the under prepared college student? Teaching
Academic Survival Skills (TASS) conference participants explore
various techniques and teaching philosophies used by educational
specialists throughout the country. The keynote and concurrent
sessions cover a diversity of topics including reading, writing,
math, technology, freshman orientation experiences, student support services, and programs for
students with special needs (ESL, LD).
The TASS
Conference is designed so that each participant can come away with
practical ideas that can be implemented or shared with other
colleagues at their institutions.

This conference
is for all faculty, administrators, academic advisors and counselors from two and four-year institutions,
and educators who care about and want to help
the under-prepared college student achieve success in college. Professionals
involved with college-bound high school students will also benefit
from attending the conference.
