If you enrolled in summer courses at UIC or another school last year, we’d like to hear about your experience as a summer student. If selected, we’ll thank you with a $25 gift certificate.
The UIC Summer Session Office is looking for 2-3 students to participate in a student panel at a conference on summer sessions downtown on Thursday, March 17 from 3:15 - 4:30 p.m. (see http://nccss.org/annual-conference/2016-conference/ for conference details).
The topic of the panel will be “What Students Want from Summer Sessions.” The goal is to give an opportunity for summer session administrators to hear directly from the students’ perspective. We’ll cover a variety of topics including how students find summer courses, what types of marketing are effective, when they decide to enroll, what influences their decision, experiences with online courses, and how they use social media. The audience will consist of about 30 summer session administrators from a variety of colleges and universities.
Here is what’s involved:
Date/Time:
The panel is scheduled for Thursday, March 17 from 3:15 - 4:30 p.m. I ask that student panelists arrive around 2:45 p.m.
Location:
Downtown Chicago at the Hilton Suites Chicago/Magnificent Mile hotel, 198 East Delaware Place (just off Michigan Avenue across from the Hancock).
Compensation:
We will thank you for your time with a $25 gift certificate and reimburse you for any transportation if needed.
Preparation:
Minimal. I’ll provide the selected participants with a brief list of questions to help prepare them for the kinds of things we will be asking and discussing during this session. I know you are busy so it won’t require too much time in terms of advance preparation.
