Learning Opportunities

 

  • Education Committee - The MAPPA Education Committee is experienced in both the facilities and training business.  It is made up of a chair, 4 members from MAPPA facilities personnel, 4 from the Big Ten & Friends Trainers Consortium, and the MAPPA Resource Library keeper. Each member serves 3 years.  The chair is also the MAPPA education representative at APPA.

  • MAPPA Presentations - 2004

  • MAPPA Trainers Network (MTN) - The Big Ten & Friends gather each year to exchange ideas on training at their universities.

  • MAPPA maintains, for the benefit of its member institutions, a library of instructional, technical, motivational and safety related materials. The current Education Committee Representative will oversee the Library on behalf of the MAPPA Board of Directors. The materials are loaned free of charge to member institutions. The normal loan period is three weeks. However, a 2-week extension is available, upon request, if the materials have not been scheduled by another institution. The user organization will be responsible for return, insured postage. The user will also be responsible for the replacement cost of any materials returned in an unacceptable condition. The materials are purchased without copyright privileges; therefore, no copies may be made of the materials. The MAPPA Librarian encourages recommendations for additions to the library. For a complete copy of the MAPPA Library, log onto the web at http://www2.fac.ilstu.edu/mappa1/ or contact:
