Placement Reminders
• Make sure your name is on your computer and accessories. And…take everything with you at the end of the day.
• If you brought a computer and are willing to share, complete your placements first prior to sharing your computer.
• If you did not bring a computer, we have scheduled a time for you to use the NSE computers. The Town Crier will call
your name at your appointed time. If you are able to utilize a computer prior to the assigned time, let the Town Crier
know you no longer need to use an NSE computer.
• If you are having trouble with your wireless Internet connection, contact Wendel and he will alert hotel Internet
personnel for assistance. If they cannot solve your problem, you can try the hard-wired Internet access in the rear of the
room. If you are still having trouble, let Dan know and he will schedule time at one of the NSE controlled computers.
• Use the signs provided at your placement station to indicate your whereabouts when not at your station.
• If you need to make an announcement, see Dan he will do it for you.
• If you need a printed report, ask Christine or Terry.
• If you need help managing your placements, contact a placement coach wearing a neon green vest.
• If you brought application and/or housing materials for students you will accept, put your institution’s name as well as
the name of the student and his/her home campus name on each packet.
• If you received a transcript to support a placement request, take the transcript with you or return it to the student’s
home coordinator. Do not leave the transcripts when you leave at the end of the day.
• Do not distribute application and/or housing materials until so directed by the referee (around 3:00 p.m.).
• Finished early? Bored? Don’t leave! While you may not need to talk to another coordinator about your own
placements; someone else may need to talk with you.

Carson Crossing the Chasm:
Understanding Attitudes Toward New Technologies
The presenters will provide information and data related to people’s perceptions
of technology and patterns of adoption and will explore where we are as
individuals, and as an organization, on the technology adoption lifecycle. This
interactive session will encourage participants to discuss their attitudes toward
various types of technology. Presenters will identify the resources for staying
ahead of our students and how to position ourselves and NSE to be on the
cutting edge of technological advancement. You can learn to leverage new
technologies to help grow your programs, expand your educational perspective,
and acquire skills that will serve throughout your career. Fears and hindrances
will be addressed and discussed in a supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere.
Presenters: Paula DiNardo and Clay Schwenn
9:00 – 10:15 a.m. Gold-Star Advising:
Fremont Resources, Realities and Relationships
Wait a minute. What happened? What could I have done to better assist my
student to secure a placement? There are three important things to consider
and understand in order to increase your placement success. 1) Develop a
detailed command of the already available placement resources and see them
applied to specific placement situations. 2) Gain insight into the decision-
making process of your coordinator colleagues. 3) Communicate directly with
coordinators regarding the issues that impact the outcomes of the placement
process. This interactive presentation will demonstrate how to utilize available
tools, outline critical issues, discuss real world examples relevant to these
issues, and assist in improving your advising skills to make the next placement
process more effective and rewarding.

Learning Center I Saw It On Facebook: Put NSE in the Loop
Students are on line and chatting live on social network sites 24 hours a day,
every day. NSE must be a part of the conversation in the same media as the
students we want to reach. An NSE group on Facebook or other social network
tool expands the audience for your NSE program. This session is for the
coordinator just getting started or is interested in using social networking in
various aspects of their university responsibilities. The session will address how
to be smart about privacy in the social networking world. You will learn how to
create a Facebook page and an NSE group, extend an invitation to join the
group, post events and news items, and to upload pictures and videos.
Presenter: Debbie Diehm
9:00 – 10:15 a.m. It’s All Greek to Me
Heritage Ballroom A This session will introduce the idea of recruiting prospective exchange students
through the fraternities and sororities on campus. The presenter will
demonstrate the methods utilized by California State University, Northridge and
will report on the efficacy of her methods in introducing members of Greek Life
to the benefits of the National Student Exchange. Recruitment of this type can
also present a model for the NSE coordinator to utilize for other campus
organizations, associations, and honor societies.
Presenter: Juliet Aylmer
9:00 – 10:15 a.m. Post Placement Nuts and Bolts:
Heritage Ballroom B Working With Your Outgoing Students
Now that you have placed your outgoing students, what else has to be
accomplished before your students actually leave for their host campus? How
about while they are on exchange? And what is needed as they return to your
campus? Learn how you can minimize your time and maximize your efforts to
cover the needs of NSE, your campus, the host campus, and especially your
students from the time you leave the annual placement conference to when the
students depart from your campus, exchange, and return. The session will
cover the post-conference meeting, using Placement Acceptance Forms (PAF),
advising, agreements, financial aid, deferments, registration, fee payment,
verification of eligibility, verification of enrollment, communication, transcripts,
and transcripting exchange work back on the home campus.

CONCURRENT PRESENTATIONS 10:30 – 11:45 a.m.
10:30 – 11:45 a.m. Post Placement Nuts and Bolts:
Heritage Ballroom B Working With Your Incoming Students
Incoming students face challenges while transitioning from their home to host
campuses. Coordinators are also challenged with paperwork, working with key
implementation offices, and effectively communicating important information to
students. How do you put all the pieces of the puzzle in place? Our goal as
coordinators is to ease the transition process for our visiting students while
streamlining the workload for ourselves. This interactive session will provide
coordinators with tools and handouts that will efficiently guide them through the
post-placement process with specific emphasis on the needs of visiting
students.
Presenters: Lisa Chrans and Marsha Squires
10:30 – 11:45 a.m. Reducing Stress in the Office
Heritage Ballroom A Students missing deadlines? Advisors misadvising your outgoing students?
PAFs not arriving on time? Verifications not entered in a timely manner?
Supervisor knows it all? Situations like this can create STRESS. While no office
can be made stress proof, there are ways to reduce the amount. Presenters will
demonstrate ways to remove stress from your office and maybe even eliminate
your need for hair dye or bottles of aspirin. The session will include a short skit,
stress-release stretching, a laughter test, and professional advice/tips to
manage and/or reduce stress in the office. Audience participation, handouts,
and chocolate (stressed spelled backwards is desserts) are included.
Discussion Facilitators: Dan Harper and Donna Reed-Harper
10:30 – 11:45 a.m. Technology Learning Track
Learning Center Resources for Managing Information:
Online Applications and NSE Participant Data Analysis
This session will provide coordinators with simple, useful resources to collect,
manage and analyze NSE participant information. Sara will demonstrate the
online application management system created by Northern Arizona University
and demonstrate how coordinators can utilize the resources at their university
to create systems of their own. Sean will present small tutorials on useful
functions in Microsoft Excel and Access for those not familiar with how data can
be managed and utilized. Data analysis gives a holistic view of NSE
participants to help the coordinator better understand the population with whom

NSE coordinators have discovered that they are not just individuals who administer the exchange, but they are
colleagues, friends and family who share the personal and professional satisfaction of being instrumental in
challenging and changing the lives of the students who participate in the National Student Exchange. Their
enthusiasm, hard work, support, and caring for NSE students are the real backbone of the consortium.

Student Achievement Awards
Named after Bette Worley, NSE President, to recognize the high standards by which she has developed and
managed NSE, the awards recognize students who demonstrate the best use of their exchange participation.
While priority is given to academic accomplishments, consideration is also given to social welfare service,
contribution to the campus or community environment, and unusual or creative use of time on exchange. Those
recognized for their achievements while on exchange during all or part of 2008-2009 are listed below.

National Student Exchange
The National Student Exchange (NSE) is a not-for-profit, membership consortium of four-year
colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands that have joined together for the purpose of exchanging students among its member
institutions and sharing their educational resources.
The only program of its kind offering tuition-reciprocal exchanges across the United States and
Canada, NSE serves as the national resource for inter-institutional study opportunities.
NSE offers study opportunities at diverse university settings and provides access to a wide array of
courses and programs; field experiences, co-op, and internship options; and resident assistant,
honors, and study abroad experiences.
NSE is administered by a central office staff governed by a Council elected from within the
membership.
Funding comes from institutional membership fees and student application fees.
With a reputation for quality service, NSE maintains a strong and viable consortium through
continuous communication and on-going assessment of the needs and interests of the membership.
The purposes for which we exist are:
• to provide inter-institutional exchange/study opportunities among colleges and universities at
reasonable cost,
• to provide intellectual and personal challenges to students in new academic and geographic
settings whereby they may grow academically and personally, and
• to offer opportunities for students to develop a greater appreciation of people and cultures
