Kudos to Alex Tank for successfully completing the third season of Extended Education’s Coffee Chats Series last Friday, March 18th. This pandemic inspired (virtual) series has temporarily replaced Extended Education community engagement events such as Campus Days and LIFE Lunches. Coffee Chats have been planned, researched, recorded, and conducted live via Zoom solely by Alex Tank, Communications & Events Program Officer for the International Affairs Forum, and also a Contributor for Extended Education. From the making of pencils with Faber-Castell, to sharing NMC’s Music and Audio Tech musical/sound pieces, to the brewing of coffee and beer, Alex has introduced our community to 34 unique topics and presenters by conducting comprehensive and compelling interviews with EES Coffee Chat guests. Thank you, Alex!
Kudos to Kristy Jackson: Since this January, Kristy Jackson, Extended Education Program Manager, has cultivated 137 adult and youth learning opportunities for Extended Education’s Summer 2022 term. Kristy has harnessed the new registration system, taught instructors how to utilize their instructor portals, programmed new classes with new instructors, maintained current class offerings, and has led the team in developing programming best practices within the new system. Kristy, thank you for your leadership, enthusiasm, patience, and creativity.
