Enhancing Student Engagement: Workshops and Seminars Overview

This agenda outlines the purpose and structure of workshops and seminars aimed at attracting new students and instructors, as well as keeping past participants involved. It highlights hands-on participation in workshops, and the lecture format of seminars, along with their respective pros and cons. Timing options, including monthly and quarterly sessions, and fee structures are discussed to accommodate various participants. Publicity strategies such as postcards, emails, and local newspapers are also suggested to increase visibility. Both formats are essential for introducing new topics at SeniorNet.
