Connect & Chat (AC&C) Fostering Belonging in CTN ASCENDER


Ascender Connect & Chat (AC&C) is a monthly virtual event series organized by Catch the Next (CTN) to promote a sense of belonging among Ascender Cohort Members and to address any problems of practice they may face. These virtual office hours are designed to support Ascender Cohort Members, both present and past. AC&C is an online means to address real-time questions and concerns related to program logistics, curriculum, course materials, and any other issues stakeholders may have regarding implementing the program on their campus. The sessions offer one-to-one/group interactions between Ascender Cohort Members and the CTN team, particularly those involved in the professional development component of the program.
