Presenter:
Aaron Hamilton, Associate Director
Wichita State University
Not the director, but not the entry level professional? Join us as
we discuss the challenges and opportunities faced by mid-level
managers in enrollment management, admissions and registrars.
We will share how we stay current in the profession, find
victories in the small things and practice leading from where we
are – in the middle. The formal presentation of this session will
be short, so please come prepared with questions for other midlevel professionals. This session is geared toward professionals
who supervise staff or large program areas.

Parent Engagement Programs and Offices: Turning the
Helicopter Parent into an Advocate for Student Success
Alcove
Presenter:
Paul Kyle, Dean of Student Services
Johnson County Community College
This session will focus on how institutions can reframe the role
the parent can play in helping with student success. Institutions
are finding new ways to train the parent in motivating their
student to be more accountable and more focused in achieving
their educational goals. This session will point out some best
practices in Parent engagement programming like; Parent
Engagement offices, Parent 101 classes, On-Boarding for Parents
and other techniques to harness the parents’ passion for student
success, therefore bringing the parent in for a soft landing.
Results include better retention, more engaged students and
parents less concerned in how you conduct your business.
Apply Kansas-Come on Board
Kings
Presenter:
April Cozine, Assistant Director
Wichita State University
Apply Kansas is a state-wide initiative sponsored by KACRAO
as part of the American College Application Campaign. This
national effort is aimed at increasing the number of firstgeneration and low-income students pursuing a college degree or
other post-secondary credential to help ensure that 60% of
Americans and Kansans have some sort of degree or credential by
2025. The primary purpose of this effort is to help high school
seniors navigate the college admissions process and ensure they
apply to at least one postsecondary institution. Learn more about
these efforts in Kansas, KACRAO’s role, and how you can
become involved.

Generation Z Goes to College
Kaw Nation/Big Basin
Dr. Michael Wesch
Generation Z grew up with touch screens, smart phones, and
always on-demand entertainment. They've given up Facebook
messaging for Snapchatting and Yik Yakking. So has college life
changed? Dr. Wesch, an anthropologist at Kansas State
University, decided to find out by actually joining them for a
wild night out. He went to frat parties, college bars, and joined
them for late night adventures around campus to find out just
how much has changed since he went to college 20 years ago. In
the process, he learns that he may have as much to learn from
them as they do from him.

FLINTHILLSBREADBASKET
Mission: To minimize hunger and poverty through the
distribution of available food and to nurture projects that help
alleviate hunger and poverty.
The Flint Hills Breadbasket is a Community Food Network founded in
1983 in a small shed in which the City of Manhattan housed machinery.
Since then we have grown, but continue to offer much needed food to
those in need through community donations and volunteer support.
Hunger is oftentimes an invisible tragedy, and for over thirty-two years
the Flint Hills Breadbasket has been collecting and distributing food to
ensure that no one in the community goes hungry.
Did you know?
23.2% of Riley County's citizens live at or
below the poverty level.
In 2015 The Breadbasket received over
700,000 pounds and served over 23,000
individuals.
