Exceptional Presenters Slated for Free event, Returning Home, from Combat to College Event at Sacramento City College, Sept. 25, 2009

The upcoming educational event, "Returning Home from Combat to College and Beyond", scheduled to be held on Friday, Sept. 25, 2009 at Sacramento City College is slated to have several exceptional presenters as well as forums with veterans and educators who are creating positive pathways for veterans returning to school and re-adjusting to civilian life.

One such guest presenter is Michelle Wild, a Cal State Fullerton graduate who earned a Masters in Psychology and teaches at Coastline Community College. Wild is the Co-Department Chair for the Acquired Brain Injury Program. Her innovative approach to enable and enhance learning includes using technology such as PDAs, personal digital assistants, as cognitive prosthetic devices. She teaches cognitive retraining onsite as well as via distance modalities, including cable television, internet, and online courses.

Earlier this year, Wild presented “Online Cognitive Boot Camps for TBI Wounded Warriors and Their Caregivers” at both the Virginia Advisory Council on Military Education Serve, Support, Educate, Conference in Williamsburg, VA and the Council of College and Military Educators Embracing Our Heroes-Shaping Our World”, Honolulu, Hawaii.
