PARC Closed for summer; use NetTutor!
Parkside students! If you're taking summer classes and could use some additional support in your courses, make sure you utilize NetTutor through D2L!

The Parkside Academic Resource Center is closed for summer.

NetTutor has a brand new look that's a lot more intuitive to use. Tutors are still available over the summer months to assist with one-on-one tutoring, provide feedback on papers, and more.

Login to D2L to access NetTutor. It's available on every navigation bar within the learning management system.
Parkside KnowledgeBase boasts impressive analytics
Over the last year, UW-Parkside's KnowledgeBase has had 847,394 page views. This number is especially impressive considering that Parkside's KB had more page views than larger schools like UW-Oshkosh and UW-La Crosse.

The KnowledgeBase is a great resource for all things relating to campus, with new documentation being added regularly.

Building Relationships Through Online Media
In a March article from The Chronicle of Higher Education , the author focuses on college presidents that interact with their students through social media.

Makola M. Abdullah, president of Virginia State University, said "Now, in this age, part of walking campus is walking Twitter, and that's because the generation is looking down at their phones."

Michael Sorrell, president of Paul Quinn College in Dallas, Texas, also uses social media to make himself more transparent and available to the student body; "we want students to understand who we are."

Are you active on social media? Do you engage with Parkside faculty and/or staff through your personal accounts? Check out The Chronicle of Higher Education's post to read the article for yourself.
