Inclement Weather: In the case of any weather that might cause a disruption in the normal events, Clayton State University has an Emergency Weather Plan that includes the Office of University Relations contacting a wide variety of Metro Atlanta news media outlets that report weather-related closings. In case of a weather related closing, or any other type of emergency closing, the University has an extensive media contact list for such emergency situations. For information about all radio and TV outlets that will be contacted upon closing, please visit the University’s main webpage at www.clayton.edu. During any potential emergency weather situation, information about Clayton State’s plans will also be available on the University’s web page and through the University’s main telephone number (678-466-4000). Please do not call the Office of Public Safety, or the Office of University Relations.
At times of bad weather or other emergencies, University officials make decisions on whether or not to close the campus based on public safety reports and other considerations. In such cases, the safety and security of the majority of students is a prime consideration. If the University is closed, then classes are cancelled for all students. If the institution remains open, we recognize that there may be special circumstances that pertain to individual students that are more serious than those that apply to the majority. So, students are advised to use their best judgment about their safety and that of their families in those situations, and to consult with individual faculty members about making up lost time. In the event that other instructional sites are closed, every effort will be made to contact students and instructors by phone and/or email.
Our building and offices will be closed the following dates: January 1, 2, 16 and May 26-28

Conflict Management Conflicts can be hard. Most people want to avoid conflicts altogether. Many get so emotional that they feel they can't even say a single word. Others may rely on a simple age-old technique of silence treatment, which does not really do them or others any good. What do you do when you are in a conflict? Do you just leave it and hope that it goes away? The chances are that it probably doesn't go away and will come back to haunt you. Conflicts have a tendency to escalate when untreated, they can make the environment toxic and unproductive and eventually the conflict may come to control you rather you controlling it. In this management course, you will learn how to perform conflict resolution, prevent discussions from escalating into conflicts, understand psychological tactics used on you and the best way to respond, negotiate and manage your emotions. 123CARE523A Thu Mar 1 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM CE Main Campus 1 Session $149 with Angela Etson, MPA 124CARE523A Tue May 8 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM CE Main Campus 1 Session $149 with Angela Etson, MPA

Speaking Dynamics When people think of public speaking, the image of one person speaking to or at an audience is conjured up. The speaker’s goal is to communicate effectively with the audience and many considerations must be made before the speaking process even begins. A desire to speak, a limited topic, a clear purpose, an assessment of audience and their expectations, a strategy and an awareness of the limitations of time and location must all be taken into account before a speaker begins. Your goal in this course is to communicate effectively, whether it be with a large group, a small group or one-on-one. You will closely examine both the speaking and listening processes, dealing with theory as well as practice to reach this goal. You will have many opportunities to discuss, practice and master the skills involved in oral communication. You will be in a variety of speaking experiences required to assess purpose and audience, plan strategies, and customize your material. Your speaking assignments will parallel the most likely real-life speaking situations. You will use recordings and feedback, noting both strengths and areas which need improvement.

Writing Effective Grant Proposals
ONLINE
Preparing successful grant proposals to receive funding from corporations or foundations requires careful research, meticulous preparation, and graceful writing. Grant administrators tell us that many grant requestors have no real understanding of the proposal writing process and as a result, their worthy causes lose out. If you learn how to avoid the errors that lead to the rejection of your proposal, you will be better prepared to help the causes you most admire. This course will walk you through all of the essential steps—including an important discussion of what you must do when the grant arrives! In this course, you’ll learn how to become fully familiar with the institution or project for which you are requesting support. You’ll get valuable guidance in preparing a background statement and a brief financial statement to support your request. You’ll also research some charitable foundation and corporate giving sources. Then, you’ll learn how to put everything together so you can assemble, write, and submit complete grant proposals to foundations, corporations, and wealthy individuals for any number of your pet projects. 123OGWN098A starts on 2/15/2012, $159 123OGWN098B starts on 3/21/2012, $159 124OGWN098A starts on 4/18/2012, $159 124OGWN098B starts on 5/16/2012, $159 124OGWN098C starts on 6/20/2012, $159

Online Courses: Anytime, Anywhere! School can be time consuming and it may seem impossible! Online courses have made this task a lot easier! While it may sound intimidating, taking online courses is a convenient way to obtain an education from the comfort of your own home. Imagine being able to be “in class” without having to find a babysitter, sitting in traffic, or missing your favorite television shows! While it takes discipline, online courses can benefit even those who have been out of school for a while. You do not have to be a computer genius to take an online class. You just need to have initiative, be self-motivated, and possess the desire to continue your education in the most comfortable place and way!
