Workshop & Event Registration v2.0

This workshop will provide research on ACC students and their levels of academic locus of control. Contrasts will be presented between differing student demographic, behavioral, attitudinal and value factors. This research presents an opportunity to learn more about ACC students cognitive beliefs regarding their success in higher education and how ACC might leverage this knowledge to better support and advise current and incoming students.

A participant in this workshop will walk away with a knowledge of an interesting and important measure of cognitive belief that relates to academic success. A participant will also understand how different groups at ACC differ on their incoming cognitive "health" in regards to beliefs about academic success and meeting goals. It is the hope that participants can then give feedback as to how ACC might utilize this tool to aid the support and advising of ACC students.

Dr. Echevarria-Cruz is the current Dean of Liberal Arts for Social and Behavioral Sciences.
