CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Lake County Campus of Woodland Community College presents Dr. Ruby Payne at the Konocti Education Center Cornelison Event Center on Friday, Sept. 9.

The event will take place from 3:45 to 6:30 p.m. at the event center, located at 15850 Dam Road Extension in the back of the Konocti Education Center. 

Admission is free to everyone. Lake County Campus obtained an Adult Ed Grant which has helped fund this workshop.

Dr. Payne’s presentation topic will be “Understanding and Engaging Under-Resourced College Students.”

She is well known for her books such as “A Framework for Understanding Poverty” and “Bridges Out of Poverty.”

This workshop will address the needs of the under-resourced college student and provides a wealth of resources for post-secondary education.

The professional development moves faculty and staff through a transformational process by first building understanding of the “what and why” of under-resourced college students, to developing the “how-to” teaching and program design strategies to help students succeed.

Participants will learn to use teaching strategies to build cognitive ability, develop high-impact community engagement strategies, redesign programs to better serve students in poverty, and much more.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn new ways to break the barriers that poverty creates for many of our adult students.
