Minneapolis, Minnesota, January 27, 2006 - Virtually every college in the country has an Office of Student Affairs. In these offices work professionals whose mission it is to make a positive difference in the lives of their students. The world of higher education is shifting from teaching to learning, greater accountability from and to its partners and stakeholders, and a general resurgence in undergraduate education. To stay current with these shifts, Student Affairs professionals understand that they need to engage in dialogue with key partners to help shape and contribute to strategic priorities that make a difference in the lives of students. And the premier forum for this dialogue is the American College Personnel Association (ACPA) Annual Convention, which is being held in Indianapolis, Indiana this March.
CollegeRecruiter.com, the highest traffic career site used by job-hunting students, recent graduates and the employers who want to hire them, announced today that its President and Founder, Steven Rothberg, will speak at the ACPA 2006 Convention.
"I'm thrilled to be part of an event that brings together all of today's leading Student Affairs issues, trends, and players in a highly-focused, forum," said Rothberg. "The tremendous work that these professionals accomplish every day is a testament to their dedication. They touch the lives of virtually every one of the college students and recent graduates who use our career site, so I'm happy to do anything that I can to help these professionals help these students and grads."
Rothberg's presentation, entitled "Podcasting: A Cutting-Edge Recruiting Tool to Catch Job-Hunting Students" is targeted at faculty, mid-level professionals, and senior-level professionals who are interested in issues related to career development, graduate students, and new professionals. In the interactive, nuts-and-bolts session, Rothberg will explain how podcasting (downloadable audio recordings) can be a cutting-edge tool for recruiting and career counseling. He'll demystify podcasting and illustrate how it truly catches the attention of today's mobile graduates. Most importantly, he'll help the Student Affairs professionals better understand how their organizations should use podcasting to communicate with students and how to snatch their attention when they're ready, willing, and able to offer it.
