Hello all ResNet’ers! Hope your Spring Breaks were productive and that as your
school year winds up or down (depending on your viewpoint) that you’re not
swamped under a deluge of students needing something or other – wait, that’s
our normal status, isn’t it? We must love it, or something. . .
Anyway, the ol’ countdown on the website
(www.resnetsymposium.org/resnet2012) says 10 weeks, 5 days before the
2012 Student Technology Conference here at The Claremont Colleges. Time,
she’s a flyin’!
We’re working hard to provide you a beautiful venue and intriguing activities!
You’re going to hear from me periodically, so I figured I’d give you a spotlight
on something each time. . . First time, I’m going to spotlight a PDS Seminar
(which is recursive, bonus points for spotting it. . .):
From Santa Clara University, Wally Anderson is teaching a half-day seminar
called Leading in Turbulent Times: Setting Up Employees for Success.
With each passing year it seems that budgets and resources continue to
shrink, while the work required continues to increase. This poses a particular
challenge to the leader: Feeling overwhelmed and overworked, why would
someone follow you? Attend this highly interactive workshop to discover
strategies to lead and inspire your team through times of change.

What else have we got going?
Well, for those of you who have never been to one of the conferences, we
have a half-day where we do what I’m calling “Networking Activities” – an
opportunity for you to spend some good quality time with your peers, away
from sessions, away from pressures. . . Many people have said that this one
afternoon has been the highlight of their conference; that the people they met
and the conversations they had while on the ferry around the San Juan Islands
(during the 2010 conference) changed their perspective and gave them ideas
to solve issues they didn’t even realize they had! Just an example. . . Here’s
one of our organized activities this year (you can find all of them at
http://www.resnetsymposium.org/resnet2012/conference-schedule/free-day-
activities/) :
The Getty Museum is famous around the world for its art exhibits, its
architecture. . . A couple of our staff members who are very familiar with the
Getty are going to escort you via a bus to the museum and let you wander the
halls. I believe that there are exhibits featuring art works from the reigns of
Louis XIV, XV and XVI; “Portraits of Renown: Photography and the Cult of
Celebrity”; as well as others. We’re hiring a bus so you don’t have to worry
about traffic (and it lets us use the carpool lane! Always a bonus.)
So there’s a couple of quick spotlights – one PDS (did you spot the recursive
piece yet?) and one Free-Day/Networking Activity. Next time, who knows what
we’ll spotlight! You’ll just need to stay tuned!
