Focused Breakouts
• Online FLEX Reporting System – Wray Theater
This session will provide attendees with what they need to know in order to use our new
campus wide online "FLEX Reporter" system. Following a demonstration of how to utilize
faculty related functions of the program, a general FLEX Q & A will be available.
• Emergency Preparedness & Safety – S 136
Emergency management experts rely on the four phases of emergency management
(Prevention, Mitigation, Preparedness Response) as an outline to assure that people are
involved in the process of preparedness before, response during and recovery after an
incident occurs. This session will provide an in-depth discussion of our campus
emergency preparedness and conclude with a Q & A where suggestions and
recommendations are welcomed.
• “Shedding Light” on Developmental Education at Rio Hondo – LR 128
“Developmental education” is often thought to pertain only to basic skills, or remedial,
instruction and tutorial support. In a much wider sense, developmental education is
about unleashing the full potential of a student. This would encompass all initiatives at
Rio Hondo that seek to develop our students’ academic potential. At this session, we will
shed light on developmental education at Rio Hondo and the efforts of the Developmental
Education Task Force.
• Lumins Continuing Education Registration Process – B110
Continuing Education has just unveiled a new, easy-to-use registration system to help
students browse, locate, and register for fee-based and life-long learning courses in
minutes. Come see a demonstration on how this new system works, hear updates on the
new, evolving mission of continuing education in the state and at Rio Hondo, and
brainstorm with us in better serving the college and community needs!
