Part of the ASCA Summer School Series! This presentation shares how student conduct offices can incorporate outreach efforts. This is accomplished by first sharing some literature on the purpose of campus outreach, the value of campus outreach for Towson University’s Office of Student Accountability & Restorative Practices, the outreach methods currently in place at Towson University, and assessing the effectiveness of outreach efforts. Participants will be given time to brainstorm what outreach could look like for their office including what their office hopes to accomplish by incorporating outreach, what methods of outreach are effective on their campus, and how they will assess the effectiveness of their outreach.
