2009 INSTITUTE ON COLLEGE STUDENT VALUES

The 2009 Institute on College Student Values will examine what recent research on positive psychology has to tell us about encouraging student development through identifying and assessing positive human strengths and abilities. Featured speakers will examine the relevance of positive psychology for character development in college and how institutions can be more active in encouraging personal happiness and success in students through the development of individual strengths and virtues. Concurrent sessions and roundtable discussions will feature practitioners and scholars presenting relevant programs and best practices on how to focus on strengths development and positive student experiences.
