Great news! The River Connect is Moving to LinkedIn.
WHAT: At the same place you do your business social media networking, you can now find The River Connect and all the great events, resources, and real-time discussions on the topics important to higher ed equity professionals.
WHEN: or before our first TRC/Linkedin event: Putting STOP CAMPUS HAZING ACT into Action, Feb 11, 10am PST, 1pm EST.
WHY: With all the changes and uncertainty, we need community in a place for everyone that is easy to access, saves us time, keeps us connected, and informs us as soon as the news is breaking.
Practitioners in higher education have a wide range of experience, expertise, and capacity. The work is usually complicated, often scrutinized, and sometimes litigated. Compliance obligations combined with the shifting legal landscape make it very hard to stay current. When you CONNECT to the THE RIVER, you will have a continuous flow of information to help guide you in defining your best practice.

Join Joe Storch and Jess Ettell Irvine for this briefing session to learn more about the new requirements under SCHA, what it means for institutions, and the timeline. Our experts will also answer all of your questions.
