23rd Annual Teaching Academic Survival Skills (TASS) Conference
March 18-21, 2012
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
http://tassconference.org/about/conference.php
On college campuses everywhere, there are students who are not well enough prepared academically to take full advantage of the available educational opportunities. How do we reach and help our largest educational minority--the marginally prepared college student? Teaching Academic Survival Skills (TASS) conference participants explore various techniques and teaching philosophies used by educational specialists throughout the country.
The Teaching Academic Survival Skills (TASS) Conference was the brainchild of Professors James Harter and Terry Bullock at the University of Cincinnati. They felt there was a need for college educators working with at-risk students to have a forum for sharing their experiences, successes, and insights in working with these students. With help and encouragement from Dean David Hartleb and Professor Harry Prats we were able to secure funds to initiate the conference. David Hartleb, now President of Northern Essex Community College (NECC), has once again championed the cause of TASS. As a result of his contributions and those of Dean David Kelley, the TASS Conference has continued to grow and flourish.
