A well planned and executed facilitated session can offer benefits of:
- Goal-focused interactive session with participants
- Needs identification
- Options generation
- Solutions development All within a productive and respectful environment
Participants will learn facilitation strategies for developing collaborative relationships with community partners to enhance student support and services.
