Presentation Proposal - NACADA Annual Conference
Presentation Info and Handouts
  Code=8
Conference Year: 2026
Session #: 260(LEC)
Title: What Are We Saying?
Lead Presenter: April Cannon
Date: October 07, 2026    Time: 8:45 am - 9:40 am
Room: Oklahoma Station 5 - Omni
Abstract: We use words every day that seem simple - words like registration, placement, and financial aid. To those new to college, this language can feel overwhelming and confusing. In this session, we will review research of how higher education 'jargon' can impact the student experience and through a word association activity, we will bring awareness of ways in which our common words can be communicated to be more inclusive and welcoming to students.
Handouts
Note: Handouts (if offered for this session) are accessible via the conference app.
