Many of SUNY Empire\u2019s students are working professionals in higher education, faculty in community colleges seeking advancement, and others looking for ways to elevate student success.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Associate Professor in the School for Graduate Studies Tai Arnold, Ph.D., said, \u201cThis program is for people working in or seeking roles in higher education and student affairs. This master\u2019s degree clearly addresses the relevant requirements for those jobs and gives students flexibility to study areas specific to their goals. We want to make sure our students are prepared to support diverse student populations. The program\u2019s graduate level prior learning assessment recognizes student learning from experience and learning opportunities, potentially reducing both the time and cost of earning the master\u2019s degree program at Empire State University.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Professor Coordinator Meg Benke, Ph.D., said, \u201cWe are thrilled to offer this new program. We have a particular focus on student success and the goal is to equip professionals and faculty with the tools and strategies to promote success in higher education. We hope students work together in a cohort to improve their own knowledge and the success of the cohort moving forward. We all share challenges and ways that we want to work together to improve higher education as a whole and we hope students might consider a future doctoral study after completing this program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Empire State University will host the ninth annual Learning with Innovative Technology (LIT) Conference July 19, 2024. The free, virtual, one-day event is designed for educators, including K-12 teachers and higher education faculty.<\/p>\n<p>LIT Conference focuses on the use of technology in education, allowing educators to engage with cutting edge vendors and earn Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) hours. Sessions will be led by leaders from organizations and universities across the country including the Learning Technology Center of Illinois, Pace University, Girls Who Code, and The Social Institute. Each of the four sessions covers a variety of topics including integrating positive change in education through software developments and improvements, embracing artificial intelligence in education, and how to use games, programs, and other technology to bolster interactive learning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIntegrating emerging technologies in education is crucial,\u201d Christine Paige, Executive Director of Empire Online in the Office of Digital Learning, Innovation, and Strategy, said. \u201cIt enhances student engagement, provides personalized learning experiences, and offers access to a vast array of resources. These technologies facilitate better collaboration and communication, develop digital literacy, and provide flexible learning opportunities, making education more inclusive and accessible.
