These terms that once invoked discourse that offered hope and promise as it related to how they would be operationalized in colleges\, schools\, universities\, and workforce settings has now been deemed at best divisive and at worst counter productive to uniting the States of America. Thus\, this session will shed light on how seasoned higher education scholars and administrators have navigated and continue to negotiate the terrain as it relates to advancing their administrative and scholarly engagements in environments. And\, how they have ultimately shifted their foci to foreground Belonging when the focus on DEI left them at a crossroads.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration information:\n\nComplimentary for ACPA Individual Members\nComplimentary for ACPA Chapter Only Members\n$10 for Non-Members\n$5 for International Non-Members (must currently reside outside the continental United States and Hawaii)\n\n  \npresenter information:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFred A.

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:20260613T193748 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 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20241017T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20241017T150000 DTSTAMP:20260613T193748 CREATED:20241011T192008Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241015T172510Z UID:16607-1729173600-1729177200@myacpa.org SUMMARY:Growing Knowelege Series Webinar: Racialization and Whiteness in College Student Leadership Education Efforts 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.

Join Dr. Lauren N. Irwin\, an assistant professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, as she presents two research studies that aim to better understand how racial meanings\, or racialization\, shape college student leadership education efforts. \nResearch Summary: \nDissertation Title: Racialization and Whiteness in College Student Leadership Education Efforts \nBrief Summary: This dissertation comprises two studies that aim to better understand how racial meanings\, or racialization\, shape college student leadership education efforts. Colleges shape—and are shaped by—dominant beliefs about race and leadership. Colleges have a longstanding commitment to student leadership development. As such\, many colleges rely on leadership education programs (LEPs) to develop students’ leadership abilities. \nResearch asserts that colleges allocate resources based on their priorities. However\, there is little scholarship about how LEPs are resourced and how campus priorities shape LEPs’ resources. Further\, scholars have critiqued leadership education’s failure to disrupt racism and whiteness. The frameworks scholars have developed to foster diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and social justice (DEISJ) in LEP practice neglect organizational considerations in favor of individual and local practices. \nThese studies investigate how different campuses racialize LEPs and their resources. The first study examined how LEPs replicate and/or resist whiteness. Findings demonstrated that LEPs’ integration of DEISJ varied\, despite DEISJ commitments across campuses. These varied commitments stemmed from leadership educators’ beliefs about whiteness\, social justice\, and leadership. Organizational and individual beliefs about leadership and LEP practice shaped how whiteness manifested across LEPs. The second study examined how campus resource allocation shaped LEP practice and considered how access to resources was racialized. Findings demonstrated that DEISJ was a stated priority across campuses while leadership was not. Further\, colleges often allocated resources in ways that deviated from their stated DEISJ commitments and furthered inequities. \nThis scholarship extends research and practice in several ways. To date\, no studies have used Ray’s (2019) theory of racialized organizations to study student affairs contexts or LEPs. Further\, this dissertation addressed a lack of empirical studies of DEISJ efforts in student affairs LEPs. Disproportionately\, the critical and social justice-oriented leadership education scholarship is conceptual and aspirational\, draws on authors’ experiences at single institutions\, and has primarily centered academic leadership education contexts. In short\, there is a lack of knowledge about how leadership educators in diverse campus and LEP contexts replicate and/or reinforce whiteness. Thus\, findings offer vital insights into practice to lift up transformative possibilities. \nRegistration Fees: \nComplimentary for ACPA Individual Members \n$10 for ACPA Chapter Only Members \n$10 for Non-Members URL:https://myacpa.org/event/growing-knowelege-series-webinar-racialization-and-whiteness-in-college-student-leadership-education-efforts/ 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/2024/10/20241013_213933_0000.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240430T150000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240430T160000 DTSTAMP:20260613T193748 CREATED:20240207T184431Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240207T184649Z UID:13434-1714489200-1714492800@myacpa.org SUMMARY:"Leader Identity Development of Black Men: A Constructivist Grounded Theory Study" Webinar DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Michael Daniels\, Director of the E. Timothy Moore Student Multicultural Center at Kent State University\, as he explores the experiences of undergraduate Black men in formal leadership roles at predominantly White institutions.  The purpose of this constructivist grounded theory study was to explore the experiences of undergraduate Black men in formal leadership roles at predominantly White institutions to understand their leader identity development process. As a result of studying these students’ experiences the intended outcome of this study was a leader identity development theory for Black men. The following research questions guided this study: (1) What is the process of leader identity development for undergraduate Black men? (2) What experiences have contributed to the leader identity development of undergraduate Black men? (3) How do formal leadership roles contribute to the leader identity development of undergraduate Black men? \nStudents attending institutions of higher education believe being involved and engaged in significant ways is valuable. However\, higher education administrators’ and practitioners’ failure to properly support students’ development seems counter-intuitive to the fundamental purpose of student affairs. Many institutional missions highlight an espoused value of developing students into leaders and many of those leadership experiences tend to happen within co-curricular spaces. As it relates to leadership development\, institutions often reference or utilize key theories of leadership development that do not center the experiences Black men. This lack of representation of Black men within the leadership theory projected onto Black men can lead to these students feeling dissonance with their leader identities\, specifically related to the accepted behaviors and values of leaders. A formal theory provides adequate support for Black men and without the theory\, the result is poor experiences for Black men in formal leadership roles which deters more Black men from seeking leadership positions (Hotchkins & Dancy\, 2015a). Less Black men seeking leadership positions aids the cycle less representation of Black men in these roles to conduct research studies to help solve this problem (Harper & Quaye\, 2007). \nWith consideration of how valuable formal theory is to a person’s leadership development\, I recognized how pertinent a grounded theory study is in producing a theory that Black men can use in understanding their own self-image reflected in a formal theory. In addition to providing a useful tool for affirming Black men’s experiences and supporting their authentic leader identity development\, this formal theory is helpful for higher education. Student affairs practitioners will benefit from having a leader identity development theory that considers and supports the process for Black men’s leader identity development. This model gives practitioners guidance on how to support the Black men at PWIs in their leader identity development. This theory also gives theoretical support to researchers in how to understand Black men at PWIs beyond their academic achievement and general social engagement. \n\nRegister Now to attend this webinar on Tuesday Apr 30 2024\, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM (EST). \n\nRegistration Fees: \n$10 for ACPA Individual Members \n$10 for ACPA Chapter Only Members \n$10 for Non-Members \nACPA/NASPA Professional Competencies: Leadership; Social Justice and Inclusion \nPresenter: Dr. Michael Daniels\, Director\, E.

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 Drucker\, Associate Director of Academic Support and Development at New York University\, as he discusses classroom teaching practices of student affairs educators through a critical pedagogy lens. \nAfter nearly 100 years\, student affairs’ educational role in colleges and universities continues to be debated (ACPA\, 1937; McCaughey & Welsh\, 2021; Penney\, 1969;). While student affairs personnel\, at the field’s origins\, contributed to student learning through outside-the-classroom experiences (Long\, 2012)\, student affairs educators are increasingly serving as instructors in classroom settings (Skipper\, 2017; Young & Hopp\, 2014). No literature has studied the experiences of student affairs educators who create and maintain a pedagogy for classroom teaching. Using critical\, hermeneutic phenomenology\, this dissertation explored the lived experiences of student affairs educators’ pedagogy. Following Peoples’ (2021) six-step process of analysis\, the data revealed five major themes: (a) student affairs educators’ belief in co-creation of knowledge\, (b) putting their beliefs to practice through facilitation techniques\, (c) developing students for serving the interests of a greater good\, (d) personal influences\, doubts\, and motivations for their pedagogies\, and (e) cultural and structural challenges to enacting student affairs pedagogy. A discussion and interpretation considered the participants’ pedagogies as an expression of critical pedagogy as contextualized by critical pedagogy scholarship (hooks\, 1994\, Freire\, 1971) and contemporary culturally engaging and critical publications in student affairs (Museus\, 2013; Quaye et al.\, 2018). \nRegistration Fees: \n$10 for ACPA Individual Members\n$10 for ACPA Chapter Only Members\n$10 for Non-Members \nREGISTER HERE to attend this webinar on Friday Apr 5 2024\, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM (EST). \nACPA/NASPA Professional Competencies:\nSocial Justice and Inclusion; Student Learning and Development; Values\, Philosophy\, and History \n  \nPresenter: Dr. Michael Drucker (he/they)\, Associate Director of Academic Support and Development\, New York University URL:https://myacpa.org/event/acpa-growing-knowledge-series-critical-student-affairs-pedagogy-classroom-teaching-practices-of-student-affairs-educators/ 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/2023/07/featured.png ORGANIZER;CN="Graduate Students &%3B New Professionals Community of Practice":MAILTO:gsnpcop@ACPA.nche.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240215T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240215T160000 DTSTAMP:20260613T193748 CREATED:20230126T174441Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230303T181315Z UID:10165-1708009200-1708012800@myacpa.org SUMMARY:SLCoP: 2023-2024 Senior Level Support Network DESCRIPTION:The ACPA Senior-Level Community of Practice (SLCoP) coordinates and hosts the Senior-Level Support Network (SLSN).

That Is Not The Question: A Multi Content Analysis of Title IX Policies at Historically Black Land Grant Universities” DESCRIPTION:The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) enforces\, among other statutes\, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. While Title IX is directed towards the prevention of discrimination in collegiate athletics\, Title IX does not explicitly remedy only issues in college athletics. Rather\, the statute’s heart is a broad prohibition of gender-based discrimination in all-programmatic aspects of educational institutions: “No person in the United States shall\, on the basis of sex\, be excluded from participation in\, be denied the benefits of\, or be subjected to discrimination under education programs or activity receiving Federal financial assistance…” (Cohen v. Brown University\, 991 F.2d 888) Reports of sexual discrimination on college campuses have escalated over the past decade (Tjaden &;Thoennes\, 2006). As a response to public outcry\, analysis and review of institutional Title IX policies have permeated public discourse and contributed to significant debate over how higher education institutions are responding to sexual discrimination on their campuses (Lowentheil\, 2013). This dissertation analyzes how compliant the Title IX policies at three (3) historically Black land grant universities\, Alabama A&M University\, Southern University and A&M College\, and Florida A&M University\, are with federal guidelines and regulations and how each institution compares with one\nanother in terms of compliance. \n27 Nov. 2023 from 3-4pm (eastern).

This is recognized to be a complex goal influenced by a number of factors including identity development and how students understand themselves as leaders. Developing a leadership identity is a multifaceted process that can be influenced by many factors\, including time\, external events\, intentional programs and positions\, and transitional experiences. \nThis study centers on leadership identity development for college women\, a group that has become a focus of increasing attention in recent years. The study also considers identity development during transitions\, such as that thrust upon all of us by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study\, the transitional experience is centered and is defined as an event that results in changed roles\, relationships\, routines\, and assumptions.\nIn this research\, I explore how undergraduate women make meaning of their formal leadership experiences during a transition in their personal and/or professional lives\, with an emphasis on the process of leadership identify development. The study focuses on students’ experiences reported over time during the transition to remote education at the start of and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings from this study will have implications for higher education practice\, college student leadership development\, and formal and informal training and development for women leaders on campus. \n$10 for ACPA Individual Members \n$10 for ACPA Chapter Only Members \n$10 for Non-Members \nPresenter: \nKrista Klein\, Rutgers University-New Brunswick\, Assistant Dean / Director for Student Outreach and First Year Transition \nKrista Klein is a lifelong learner\, educator\, scholar\, and mother dedicated to supporting other women-identified folks who are navigating major transitions in their personal and professional lives.

DESCRIPTION:This is a time of significant transition in higher education: Worker norms widely held in the field are no longer acceptable\, yet culture change is still hard. There is a need to be more intentional and better prioritize human and fiscal resources\, particularly in the area of student affairs. This session provides an overview of five strategies that one institution has applied in efforts to “do less\, better” while still delivering highly effective programs and services. Additionally\, how this concept has evolved over time and its impact on divisional operations will be examined. Three leaders from a division of student affairs will provide insights that can be applied in diverse functional areas and within a variety of institutions. \nPresented by:\n* Dan Bureau\, Assistant Vice President for Student Health and Wellbeing.
