Displaying Items 1 to 7 of 7 Items Per Page: 
type iconIntroduction to Drupal 7
This workshop introduces users to the basic functions for creating and publishing content to a Drupal 7 website at Appalachian. Users who will be maintaining a website are required to attend. Please note the prerequisites.

Having a Drupal site is a prerequisite because we have found that it is easier to retain information from the workshop if you have a site to work on already. However, people who are interested in learning how to use Drupal are welcome to attend as well.
type iconPreparedness 101
A student goes unconscious. A person with a gun enters your building. Now quick - what di you do? Seconds count in these situations and people may look to you for the answers. It is vital that you know the steps to take in order to stay safe and help others.

Preparedness 101 is designed to cover the basic action steps to follow during a variety of emergency situations, as well as provide an overview of how the university will respond to these situations. Workshop length is 45 minutes, plus 15 minute3s for questions and general discussion.
Appalachian Allies
Appalachian Allies (App Allies) is an LGBTQ+ ally development and training program built upon the Safe Zone training model. In the training, we focus on education of LGBTQ identities and experiences, as well as understanding how to support and advocate for those in this community. The training has several activities that are going to be reflective, small group, and sometimes large group discussions. At the end, participants will have the opportunity to commit to supporting and advocating for the LGBTQ+ community, and receive a nameplate for them to display in their office/department.

Facilitators vary for each session.

App Allies facilitators are:

Jake Reeves
Summer Wisdom
Christopher Farthing
Introduction to Yo-Mart Shopping & Requisitioning
The purpose of this training session is to provide an overview of our e-procurement system (Yo-Mart) and train users to create and manage their online requisitions from searching for items and submitting requisitions to tracking status and receiving. This training is aimed at those users who will have the role of requestor in Yo-Mart.
type iconIntermediate Drupal 7 Training
This workshop builds on the Introduction to Drupal 7 workshop by learning how to build and edit columned page layouts with panels, and how to build webforms and access the submitted results.

In addition, users will learn how to add Google content, such as Calendars and YouTube videos, to a Drupal 7 site.
Faculty Transfer Mentor Training
A Faculty Transfer Mentor is a faculty or staff member interested in developing supportive, academic relationships with prospective and new Appalachian transfer students. Mentors, ideally in the student's area of study, will provide help in understanding the curriculum and the student's remaining required coursework as well as provide guidance, support, and referral to resources that will benefit new students in a new environment. Mentors have the ability to influence, encourage, and guide transfer students to enhance their academic success. During the training participants will learn about the characteristics and needs of transfer students, the transfer student population at Appalachian, and what you can do to support transfer students and to be a successful transfer mentor.
Talking Transfers
This week is National Transfer Student Week! One-third of all new students at Appalachian begin as a transfer student. Transfer students bring with them previous coursework, experiences, and varying expectations - learn how you can meet those needs and support their success. In this session you’ll learn more about the demographics and characteristics of Appalachian transfer students, what easy steps you can take to welcome them and help them thrive in your classroom, and you’ll hear from current students about their experience of transferring to Appalachian.
