8th Annual Southwestern Consortium of Academic Support Professionals Workshop on March 6th, 2020
ASP Across the Curriculum
at
Texas Tech University School of Law
in Lubbock, Texas
The Southwestern Consortium of Academic Support Professionals will host a one day conference focused on developing Academic Support programs throughout the curriculum. ASPers are amazing at the work we do, but we have limited interactions with students. Students need skills work reinforced throughout every year of law school. ASP skills range from metacognition to specific test taking skills. The goal of the conference is to provide ideas for participants to take back to law schools that will encourage everyone at the school to help students improve.
Registration will be open to anyone interested in academic support. You can register by filling out the form at this link.
