Travel for Less: Leverage Your Normal Spending to Earn Credit Card Miles and Points for Travel FULL
Tuesday February 18, 2025 9:00am - 9:45am CST
After 10+ years of credit card sign-ups, I have taken my family of 4 on more than 50 trips using points and miles. Some have been small weekend outings; others were two weeks in Europe. This was possible on a teacher's salary, due to credit card sign-up bonuses. Flights, hotels and rental cars can be paid for using points by leveraging good credit and paying off balances each month.

Brain Changes Over the Lifespan: Supporting Students of All Ages FILLING
Tuesday February 18, 2025 1:15pm - 2:00pm CST
Normal brain changes throughout the lifespan can alter how we learn. One type of intelligence increases while the other decreases. This can begin as early as 30 years of age. Our non-traditional students often believe they are less competent because many times they do not learn in the same way as their younger classmates. Understanding these brain changes can help us support students of all ages by empowering them to recognize and use their strengths in their academic careers.
