Overview of the Institute

 

The redesigned NACAS Institute for Managers (IFM) is designed for managers new to generalist auxiliary service positions, and for operational managers seeking a broader perspective on auxiliary services in higher education.  IFM is an intensive learning experience incorporating small group seminars, operational knowledge opportunities, case study work, and group presentations. 

Participants will:

  • Prepare for the event with online assignments and networking
  • Learn the role of Auxiliary Services within institutions of higher education
  • Gain a broad understanding of the complexities of Auxiliary Services
  • Be able to identify synergies within various Auxiliary Services units
  • Apply skills learned during the Institute to their home campus
  • Be part of post-event online community for continued networking

The curriculum will include:

 

  • The Importance and Culture of Campus Auxiliary Services
  • The Finance of Auxiliary Services
  • Today's College Students and How Auxiliaries Create Lifelong Supporters
  • Managing Multiple Operations
  • Creating a Culture of Leadership and Accountability
  • Operational Knowledge Opportunities: Dining, Bookstore, Parking/Transportation, Recreation, Marketing and more

 

IFM learning will be enhanced by the use of an actual case study from our host institution, University of Texas-San Antonio.

Reviews from Past ParticipantsImage

"The Institute for Managers was the most significant professional development experience of my career."

 

"It was clear upon my return from the Institute for Managers that I returned with newfound knowledge.  I felt energized and enthusiastically shared my experiences with my co-workers.  The world of Auxiliary Services had suddenly expanded to more than I could have ever imagined."

 

"I know attending the Institute help me gain/develop more self-confidence in my abilities.  I feel more prepared and feel that I will be more successful now that I have the information and tools gained by attending the Institute.  It came at the right time in my career."
