Ecological Validation Book Club

The Ecological Validation (EV) Book Club is a professional development opportunity offered for UNK administrators, faculty, and staff for one hour a week, across thirteen weeks of the semester; up to twenty-five educators are selected to participate in EV Book Club each term. This experience is facilitated by Dr. Julie Campbell, TSLC Faculty Coordinator, and Senior Director of TSLC and EV Initiatives, Jennifer Harvey. The text for the EV Book Club, Creating a Campus-Wide Culture of Student Success by Hallet, Kezar, Kitchen and Perez is based on mixed-methods, longitudinal research conducted by the University of Southern California for the Promoting At-Promise Student Success Project, which studied the Thompson Scholars Learning Communities at UNK, UNL, and UNO.

Opportunities to register for the EV Book Club are announced each semester via campus email; for more information, you can contact Jennifer Harvey or Dr. Julie Campbell.
