TRAUMA-INFORMED CAMPUS (CTLF-D105-501)
2025-09-12 09:00 - 12:00 | Moraine Room 3
While trauma is often invisible, its impact can be deeply felt, especially within the academic environments where stress, identity and life challenges often intersect. In this half-day summit, presenters look to equip all members of the Moraine Valley Community (faculty, staff, and employees) with the knowledge and tools to foster a campus culture grounded in awareness, empathy, and inclusivity.
This event underscores the importance of cultivating a sense of belonging, not through the disclosure of personal trauma, but through the intentional, supportive practices that affirm everyone’s dignity and humanity. By understanding what trauma is, how it affects behavior and engagement, and how to respond with compassion and boundaries, we lay the foundation for a campus where everyone person can thrive. Creating trauma informed spaces is not only about responding to harm, but about proactively shaping a community that feels safe, connected, and empowered to grow.

MVLA: SUPPORTING INSTRUCTORS AND AT-RISK STUDENTS (CTLF-M240-530)
2025-10-06 - 2025-11-04 | Online
In response to HB2170, the developmental department was tasked with creating different courses that began to be offered in FA23, which ultimately reduces the amount of time our students will be in remedial classes. This state mandate places at-risk students in transfer level courses sooner and with less developmental instruction, thus creating a potential issue for transfer level instructors who may need to offer greater support for their students. This course offers support to instructors who want more strategies to help all students be successful in their courses. In addition, it will connect them to campus resources who will also be able to provide support to both the instructor and students. Instructors can expect to create relevant and applicable materials for your current course(s) and will have the opportunity to receive feedback to help support your present issues in your course with your struggling students.
