DID WE CALL YOU?

Back by popular demand, we continue our behavioral science dive with a new look at how to be happy – but also, why being happy is not always the right response.

At a time when we are all overwhelmed and maybe even burned out (ahem, the Great Resignation?), the focus on finding happiness is more relevant than ever before. Yet, we may find ourselves chasing joy, only to have it quickly fade once we reach our goal. Why is that?

Or, sometimes, you just want to feel down and it seems like the whole world wants a parade. Why are we so afraid of sadness, and how can a relentlessly sunny disposition actually be bad for you?

• Applying behavioral science theory to maximize happiness
• Learning to identify toxic positivity – and just say no!

Join us for an engaging and interactive webinar where we’ll talk about relationships and money. Couples will learn about each other’s money values, triggers and goals and work together to create a manageable and tension-less plan.

Mindfulness Coach Daron Larson helped us discover how exercising our attention – with or without meditation – develops relaxation, focus, and resilience. Learn how mindfulness practice can help you bounce back, adapt, and even grow in response to the threats and challenges of ordinary life.

Did you know that in America, women make $.82 for every dollar that a man makes? For BIPOCwomen, those amounts are even less, with Latina women experiencing the largest wage disparity at $.55 to every dollar.

The pandemic has further compounded the issue, with women disproportionately impacted by job loss that resulted in $800 billion in lost income.

So what can we do about it?

This session will explore the root causes of the gender wage gap, the downstream effects on society and our economy, and how we can educate ALL students to take action to combat gender disparity.

Higher education is no stranger to DEI programming. Yet, with a renewed focus on creating equitable and inclusive learning spaces, there may be misconceptions as to what DEI actually IS – and what it isn’t.

Join us for a thirty-minute lunch and learn session to better understand how we define diversity, equity and inclusion and how we may integrate DEI into the work we do for students. Participants will come away from the session with a resource guide for further developing DEI initiatives.

Even as the future of in-person contact has a positive outlook, developing phone skills can make a huge difference in the quality of student interactions. We’ll share tips and techniques on how the use of effective language, emotional intelligence, call-control and physical and metal tweaks can improve your communication with students.

If you are ready to get serious about taking charge of your finances, you need to start by understanding the link between your mind, your emotions, and your wallet.

Matters of money are big in people’s lives – maybe now more than ever. The Financial Aid Office knows this all too well. How do we handle interactions with students that show we care, want to be of service, and that we want them to succeed even when we might not be able to tell them what they want to hear? One answer may be in enhancing our Emotional Intelligence.

Even in the best of times, the ability to assist students can rely greatly on communicating effectively. Now, as campus closures necessitate a shift away from in-person contact, developing or honing phone skills can make a huge difference in the quality of our student interactions.

Join us to find out how PJ Advisor, our virtual professional judgement platform can streamline the professional judgement process for your students and your school. Developed with the student and administrator in mind, PJ Advisor is easy to use, streamlines the entire process, and is available on any device, wherever, and whenever it is needed.

It’s everywhere. Higher education institutions have unprecedented challenges to consider. What does “going to college” mean? How will revenue change? What will enrollment look like and what are we going to do about it? Where can costs be reduced and gains still made?

When it comes to nudging students to complete the FAFSA, you can never have enough tools to spread the message – but who has the time or resources to create a comprehensive FAFSA communication plan?

Loan summaries, or debt letters, have become an increasingly popular way for colleges to bridge the gap between entrance and exit counseling, helping students stay informed and engaged when it comes to borrowing. Some states, taking notice of the reduced borrowing and improved academic performance tied to this intervention, are even making loan summaries a mandated requirement for colleges and universities; national legislation has also been introduced.

Whether students just starting out or a non-completer that wants to earn a certificate or degree to improve their lifestyle, or change the trajectory of their career, increasing their education will improve their livelihood and their communities’ workforce. Connections get to the heart of the matter. Is it money, lack of knowing next steps, life, or something else? If you can determine what’s holding them back, you can help them complete their education.

Join us to hear how Michelle Greco from Delgado Community College and Dr. Kohle Paul from Gwinnett Technical College have implemented student outreach programs to connect with targeted students to increase persistence of new and returning students.

For recent grads, or students who have dropped below half-time enrollment or have withdrawn, preparing for student loan repayment can be difficult. Let Inceptia help!

In this student-centered session, we will cover the basics of student loan repayment, including:

• Preparing for the end of the CARES Act repayment relief
• How to save time and money throughout the life of loan repayment
• How to choose a repayment plan that fits individual lifestyles and income
• Options to avoid default and delinquency

This session is a great way for your students to hear exit counseling concepts and have questions answered by an expert. We encourage you to extend this invitation to any student preparing for loan repayment.

Spoiler alert: we are all spending much more time online than ever before, even conducting work that was previously believed to only be effective when done face-to-face. While technology and the internet have made the impossible possible, there is also a danger for all of us – but especially students – to subconsciously consume negative messaging.

In a social media world that prizes bigger, better, prettier and more popular, the fear of missing out (FOMO) is wreaking havoc on mental, emotional, AND financial wellbeing.

In this session, we’ll discuss the very real consequences of FOMO, the effects of social media on spending and saving, and how we can inform and empower students to resist.

As the resume repayment date draws closer, borrowers and schools will be dealing with a much different landscape of repayment than has been seen in past trends. The CARES Act has afforded some relief to all student loan borrowers by bringing them current and eliminating the need for payments. And, that’s helping your CDR, for now.

Understanding the ramifications of a mass resume date on student loan repayment can help you understand the impact it may have on your student borrowers and your school. In this session, Dave Macoubrie, EVP & COO at Inceptia, will talk about the challenges this presents for students and schools along with recommendations on steps to take to ease the strain.

A few years after our very popular Nudge webinar, we’re back to take another look at the science of human behavior and how we can influence others to make decisions and take actions.

Based on the newly updated book “Nudge: The Final Edition,” this session will give you insight into creating effective messages and cues that inspire students to take action. We’ll revisit the basics of nudge theory, including concept, ethics and implications, while incorporating new findings from the authors’ works. And, of course, we’ll discuss how nudges can work at your campus, with your students. Don’t miss out on this fun and informative session!

Recruitment and retention goals are more top of mind than ever with 600,000 fewer students enrolled in college this last spring. With the current financial challenges, you know financial aid is critical to the mix of getting students to and through school. Listen to experts Angela Johnson, Troy University, and J.W. Kellam, Converse College, talk with our own Tami Gilbeaux about five key strategies to being a recruitment partner in your school.
