Kognito’s Glenn Albright to Present at DCoE Summit
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 31, 2015 -- Kognito, a leader in immersive learning simulations that enable users to develop skills and assess their competencies in managing challenging conversations, announced today that Glenn Albright, Ph.D., the company’s co-founder and director of research, will present at the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury (DCoE) Summit taking place September 9-11, 2015, at Defense Health Headquarters in Falls Church, VA.
Veterans and service members enter the classroom with valuable life and leadership experience; however, transitioning to student life represents unique challenges. At the DCoE Summit, Dr. Albright will deliver a presentation that examines the impact of a new and innovative virtual human training simulation where users role-play with emotionally responsive virtual student veterans to understand the unique value they bring to campus, the obstacles they face in the pursuit of a college degree, effective tactics for navigating challenging conversations with them, and best practices for connecting student veterans exhibiting signs of psychological distress with appropriate support services. Dr. Albright’s session, “Virtual Role-Plays to Build Military Cultural Competency and Helping Behaviors in Faculty/Staff,” will take place on Thursday, September 10th from 2:40 – 3:40 p.m. EDT.
