Dillard University College Student Inventory Advisor Training at Jackson State University

As part of our partnership with Jackson State University (JSU) with the Destination Graduation Policy Initiative, JSU is planning a training session for counselors and advisors using the College Student Inventory (CSI). Noel-Levitz staff will conduct the training. This training deals with the use of CSI data to better serve our students. Please visit, https://www.noellevitz.com/student-retention-solutions/retention-management-system-plus/college-student-inventory  for additional information on the CSI.



The date of the workshop will be all day, Monday, December 12, 2011. I encourage as many faculty advisors to attend as possible. As you know, Dillard has been administering the CSI for many few years. This would be a great refresher training for those of you who are familiar and an excellent tool for those who are new to the university community.


JSU will provide van and driver to transport faculty and staff from Dillard University to Jackson State and back to campus on that day and will cover the cost of lunch as well. See attached agenda.


If you serve as an advisor and would like to attend, please send me a response via email by the close of business, Friday, December 2, 2011. Many thanks.
