Webinar: A Phenomenological Study on Non-Religious Black Student Affairs Professionals DESCRIPTION:The Growing Knowledge Series (GKS) creates a pathway for those who have completed their dissertation\, but never published\, to share their scholarship with the profession through a hosted webinar. This collaborative effort of our three Communities of Practice is positioned to benefit practitioners and scholars alike\, creating a space to share new knowledge frequently left on the shelf. Join Dr. Tyeesha “Tye” Wesley\, Assistant Director of Recruitment\, Training\, and Inclusion in Housing and Residence Life at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro\, as she presents her qualitative study on the intersectionality of race and religion as they impact how Student Affairs professionals are able to engage with traditional higher education practices. \nResearch Summary: \nDissertation Title: “Y’all Don’t Hear Me!”: A Phenomenological Study on Non-Religious Black Student Affairs Professionals \nBrief Summary: Most research on Student Affairs practices is centered around student engagement and support; however\, this qualitative study focuses on the Student Affairs professionals who support college students. Specifically\, this dissertation focuses on the intersectionality of race and religion and how these Student Affairs professionals are able to engage with traditional higher education practices. The research study explored the lived experiences of Black Student Affairs professionals who are non-religious through the use of individual and focus group interviews. Through a theoretical lens of Sense of Belonging and Cycle of Socialization\, the experiences of the participants functioned as the data used for the findings\, recommendations\, and conclusions. \n\n\nStudent Affairs has a gap in how they are retaining professionals. If Student Affairs wants to slow the “Great Resignation\,” they must educate themselves on the experiences of their workers. Just as much as the profession pours into the lives and lived experiences of their students\, they must be willing to do the same with their staff\, who were once those same students. Professional staff members want to be heard\, they want to feel seen\, and they want to know they matter. It has to be beyond words; it must be through the non-harmful action of their peers and the administration accepting them as the people they are\, even if they are Black and non-religious. \nRegistration Fees: \nComplimentary for ACPA Individual Members \n$10 for ACPA Chapter Only Members \n$10 for Non-Member URL:https://myacpa.org/event/acpa-growing-knowledge-series-yall-dont-hear-me-webinar-a-phenomenological-study-on-non-religious-black-student-affairs-professionals/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Graduate Students & New Professionals Community of Practice,Mid-Level Community of Practice,Senior Level Community of Practice,Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://myacpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/download.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241121T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241121T203000 DTSTAMP:20260427T114724 CREATED:20241119T012354Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241119T012355Z UID:16897-1732215600-1732221000@myacpa.org SUMMARY:GSNP Career Talk: Learning from Higher Ed Professionals DESCRIPTION:Join GSNP for a collaborative panel with members of Mid-Level and Senior Level Communities of Practice.

This collaborative effort of our three Communities of Practice is positioned to benefit practitioners and scholars alike\, creating a space to share new knowledge frequently left on the shelf. Join Dr. Michael J. Kutnak\, Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Queens University of Charlotte\, as he presents his study examining the process of design for general classroom facilities in American four-year public higher education institutions. \nResearch Summary: \nDissertation Title: The Process of Design for General Classroom Facilities in Higher Education Institutions \nBrief Summary: This study examined the process of design for general classroom facilities in American four-year public higher education institutions. Combining grounded theory\, case study methods\, visual methods\, and portions of the Authentic\, Action-Oriented\, Framing for Environmental Shifts Method (Watt\, 2015)\, I was able to address the four research questions posed in this study. I conducted interviews with participants involved in specific general classroom facilities design/construction while asking participants to co-create a diagram of the steps of the process. The data collected from this process produced the “Train Model of Design for General Classroom Facilities.” \nThe process begins with the specifics of the institution or college and its chosen direction. The conditions specific to the institution act as a departing station for the process. The conditions specific to the wider context function as the rails on which the train moves. The rails are held together by crossties consisting of the constant collaboration of the triumvirate and stakeholders. A triumvirate consisting of the project manager\, the construction manager\, and the representative from the academic department move the project through each phase of the design process. These decision-makers function as the conductor of the train\, driving the process while feeding it two distinct types of fuel: budget and time. The triumvirate must continuously monitor the fuel supply to reach the end of the process. In addition\, the triumvirate continuously monitors the passengers\, to incorporate their feedback into the trip. \nThe stages of the process function similarly to boarding and disembarking on a train. In Stage 1 you prepare to leave the station. You make a case for what travels on the train with you and what gets left at home. You also determine the fuel needs of the train by setting the project budget and schedule. Stage 2\, or Making the Space\, consists of the travel to the final destination\, carrying along those well-laid plans from Stage 1. The triumvirate drives the train while carefully monitoring the fuel levels. You can make a few minor adjustments once you have left the stations\, based on feedback from the passengers\, but drastically altering the plans is not a viable option. The type of train you drive represents the different ways in which the process can play out at specific campuses. A passenger train works differently compared to a freight train. The number and sequence of steps in the process of design will vary depending on the type of project you are undertaking (new construction vs. renovation)\, the available state procedures\, and the timing of your procurement of a construction management firm (i.e. the different types of trains you can take). The final destination of the train is the completed general classroom facility. \nRegistration Fees: \nComplimentary for ACPA Individual Members \n$10 for ACPA Chapter Only Members \n$10 for Non-Members URL:https://myacpa.org/event/acpa-growing-knowledge-series-webinar-the-process-of-design-for-general-classroom-facilities-in-higher-education-institutions/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Graduate Students & New Professionals Community of Practice,Mid-Level Community of Practice,Senior Level Community of Practice,Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://myacpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/download.png ORGANIZER;CN="Senior-Level Community of Practice":MAILTO:slcop@acpa.nche.edu END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
