Two sessions were offered during my visit to Penn State:
elise michaux, phd, also known as “the encourager,” champions the belief in individual power. In her compelling talk, “Believe in Your Magic,” she sparks inspiration, urging individuals to embrace opportunities and challenges. In a world where it is easy to compare, remember: that your uniqueness is invaluable.
“Do the Work: Building Belonging & Support That Reaches Every Student” To equip staff with tools, mindsets, and strategies to ensure no student feels unseen, left behind, or excluded, especially in a climate of heightened scrutiny and institutional ambiguity.
