CONNECTING COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE
The Fielding Alumni Council (FAC) invites you to be an integral part of the fourth annual Alumni Track
offered at the 2015 All Schools National Summer Session. All schools are represented: Educational
Leadership and Change (ELC), Human and Organizational Development (HOD), and Clinical & Media
Psychology (PSY).
The Alumni Track aims to bring more alumni to National Session and broaden advanced learning,
collaboration and success for Fielding alumni scholar and practitioners. The objective of this year’s alumni
track is twofold: to provide alumni with education focused on current trends and topics in Fielding’s
respective fields, and to provide alumni with proven business and professional practices for those looking
to take their career and businesses to the next level.
In an effort to expand alumni offerings in a concise, yet deliberately useful manner we will provide both
panel sessions that will include about three alumni per panel with a select moderator, along with sessions
taught by individual alumni based on a comprehensive review of all submission topics. Session times will
range between one and a half hours, to up to three hours based on review by the FAC. Our goal is to provide
an expansive session listing by alumni, for alumni, which will entice a higher level of alumni registration
and participation at summer session.
In alignment with professional protocol, FAC members and the Advancement and Development office staff
will review proposals, select participants and ensure a holistic inclusion of timely topics and presenters.
RATIONALE
During the first three years of the Fielding Alumni Track, several things have become evident:
The Fielding community is eager to talk, share, and collaborate around their mutual experiences,
interests, and expertise.
The Fielding community wants a place that fosters creativity and tangible takeaways.
The Fielding community wants to experience cross-school interaction and collaboration.
Deadline for application submission is Friday, February 6th, 2015.
