This virtual institute will curate opportunities for critical reflection and provide tools for professional practice related to examining power and privilege. \nFor this year’s institute we are wrestling with how scholarship and practice of masculinities is being enacted within higher education environments. In our communities we will find ourselves upholding oppressive norms and at other times disrupting these harmful notions of scholarship and practice. How can we hold ourselves accountable for our actions and supporting other well-being of all? Through coalition building\, we can sort through the contradictions and create new systems of accountability to foster change in academia and beyond. Participants will leave this institute gaining  \n\nKnowledge on new masculinities scholarship not often highlighted in the academy.\nCritical practitioner insights that will expand ways to make change working within men and masculinities programs and events on college campuses. \nConnections through interactive conversations to build coalitions of support across our higher education experiences\n\nKeynote Speaker: Dr. Quortne R. Hutchings\nDr. Hutchings keynote will focus on envisioning masculinities scholarship and practice that expands and disrupts binary normative assumptions within gender and sexualities studies in Higher Education and Student Affairs (HESA) research and practice. \nQuortne R. Hutchings (they\, them) is a first-generation college graduate\, proud Ronald E. McNair scholar alum\, and assistant professor in higher education at Northern Illinois University. Quortne teaches courses on college student development\, qualitative methodology\, teaching and learning pedagogies\, and dissertation proposal writing. Quortne introspectively and intentionally teaches and examines higher education as a critical researcher and educator with an equity praxis lens. Their teaching centers change and evolve of colleges and universities to meet their most marginalized communities’ needs through transformative educational and engagement practices. \nFirst Session of Educational Presentations Options  \nExploring the Motivations of Latino men who Pursue Higher Education presented by Dr. Lazaro Camacho\, Jr. \nThis session will explore the question\, “In what ways are Latino men allowed to exist in relation to postsecondary education?” The presentation will ask attendees to consider the postsecondary education motivations of Latino men from a place of agency and liberation. Using key takeaways from two studies that examined the gendered experiences of undergraduate and graduate Latino men students\, this presentation will encourage the attendees to reimagine Latino men students as change agents \nMentoring Masculinities presented by Cristian Noriega \nThe presentation will identify mentorship as a tool to disrupt restrictive and toxic masculinity ideologies within a higher education context. Using examples from a Mxn of Color Mentorship Program\, this presentation will illustrate the potential of such programs to re-define healthier and liberatory forms of masculinity. A small discussion section will be included for practitioners to talk through similar programs or how to get started in creating a similar program in their respective institutions.  \nTurning a New Page: Insights from a Black Men’s Book Club Presented by Kevin Pajaro-Mariñez \nThis session explores the intellectual and personal process of developing a community-based Black men’s book club called the Black Men’s Reflection Group (BMRG). The BMRG represents an intersectional approach that demonstrates how vulnerability and communal healing through dialogue informs equitable and inclusive practices for cultivating expansive masculinities. This presentation encourages attendees to think critically about how the BMRG model can position men across intersections of marginalization and perspectives to meaningfully contend with their gender socialization.  \nSecond Session of Educational Presentations Options  \nUnveiling Vulnerability and Redefining Masculinity in Black Men presented by Quashon Bunch \nThis presentation delves into the critical role of artistic expression in exploring and redefining Black masculinity. It highlights how storytelling\, in various artistic forms\, serves as a powerful tool for unveiling vulnerability\, breaking down traditional stereotypes\, and fostering deeper self-awareness amongst Black Male college students. By examining the intersection of creativity\, culture\, and personal growth\, the presentation underscores how Black men use art to navigate their identities\, challenge societal norms\, and contribute to broader cultural dialogues connected to their emotions.  \nBeyond the Brother Code: Black Masculinities\, Black Feminism\, and the Agency of Black Men in Graduate Engineering Programs presented by Dr. Joshua Wallace \nIn this session\, Dr. Wallace will present on utilizing Black feminist theoretical frameworks to disrupt oppressive norms in Black masculinities. Specifically\, he will share findings from my recent work which explores how agency is exerted beyond hegemonic masculinities in engineering and illuminated the influences of a discipline’s culture on masculine thinking and being. Moreover\, this study\, guided by Black feminism\, epistemologically and theoretically\, moves Black masculinities scholarship and practice toward an emphasis on divesting from patriarchy. \nMuslim Men in Higher Education and Masculinities: Navigating Challenges and Redefining Narratives presented by Dr. Faran Saeed \nThis session will explore the challenges Muslim men face in higher education\, focusing on the intersection of religion\, race\, and gender. We will discuss the impact of Islamophobia\, stereotypes\, and underrepresentation\, along with the mental health implications. Through reflection and dialogue\, the session will offer strategies for challenging harmful narratives\, promoting well-being\, and supporting Muslim men’s leadership and inclusion on campus. \nPanel Discussion \nDisrupting Oppressive Masculinities: A Jotería Microaffirmation Approach with Panelists Dr. Ángel de Jesus González\, Dr. Omi Salas- SantaCruz\, & Dr Sergio A. Gonzalez and Moderated by Dr. Souksavanh Keovorabouth. \nThis panel explores Jotería pedagogy to challenge oppressive masculinities in education. Dr. Angel Gonzalez highlights disrupting cisheteropatriarchy in the classroom\, and Dr. Sergio Gonzalez discusses his Jotería microaffirmation approach to resisting toxic masculinity. Dr. Omi Salas-SantaCruz addresses trans masculinities\, emphasizing soft masculinity and femmeness to create caring\, non-competitive spaces\, challenging traditional\, extractive masculine norms. \nAdditionally\, breakout discussion groups will be created for participants to discuss takeaways from the sessions and ways to build on what we have learned.  Full details on the presentation descriptions and day’s events available upon registration. \n  URL:https://myacpa.org/event/cmminstitute2024/ CATEGORIES:Coalition on Men & Masculinities,Virtual END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20241006T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20241009T120000 DTSTAMP:20260405T093347 CREATED:20220128T201156Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240923T143054Z UID:7787-1728230400-1728475200@myacpa.org SUMMARY:2024 Institute on the Curricular Approach™ DESCRIPTION:2024 institute on the curricular approachthe widely adopted go-to professional development experience for individuals and departmental teams who want to implement a Curricular Approach on campus\n Register now\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n the Institute on the Curricular Approach is proudly sponsored by \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Join student affairs and higher education colleagues on a journey equipping you to lead organizations toward a curricular approach to learning for all on your campus at the Institute on the Curricular Approach (ICA)! This learning experience is dynamic and valuable. Participants will be able to explore how to lead\, design\, and implement a curricular approach. ICA Faculty will offer learning opportunities including large group keynotes\, smaller sequenced sessions\, faculty consultations\, institutional showcases\, and more. Wherever you are in your journey individually and organizationally toward a departmental or divisional curricular approach\, this institute is a straight-forward way to obtain clear direction from higher education and student affairs professionals experienced with a curricular approach. \nThrough participation in ICA\, you will have the opportunity to: \n\nApply the 10 Essential Elements of a Curricular Approach\nDesign\, implement\, and assess a Curricular Approach\nLearn from other institutions implementing a Curricular Approach through Showcase presentations\nGet feedback from Institute faculty about your Curricular Approach through Faculty Consults\n\nA Curricular Approach is a paradigm shift from traditional educational approaches to an intentional\, developmentally sequenced one\, defined by institutional mission and purpose. Staff members using a Curricular Approach first identify clear learning goals and outcomes grounded in the history\, culture\, mission\, and purpose of each institution. Then staff members identify student engagement strategies that can provide opportunities for students to achieve these learning goals and outcomes. Goals are sequenced\, pedagogy rooted in scholarship of teaching and learning\, and campus partners incorporated from throughout the institution. A Curricular Approach uses assessment to inform a process of continuous improvement. \nShifting to using a Curricular Approach is not superficial nor is it simply utilizing learning outcomes to guide programming. A curricular approach utilizes the 10 Essential Elements to think about student learning and a refined leadership mindset. \n \n \n \n \n \n institute features\nThis learning experience is an institute and not a conference. Sessions are organized and sequenced to meet the needs of professionals and organizations at different places in their journey. Each session is also sequenced with learning outcomes to create an integrated\, developmentally sequenced\, experience for the participants. Showcases are also offered from a variety of institutional sizes and types to give concrete examples of how a Curricular Approach can be implemented consistently across campuses but also tailored for each unique campus context. \nWhether it is your first Institute or your twelfth\, you will leave inspired with new insights\, new collegial connections\, new examples and innovations\, and new energy. We have representatives from all sizes and types of institutions who have benefited from the Institute experience. \nKeynote Speaker\nDr. Tricia ShalkaAssociate Professor\, University of Rochester \nKeynote Address: Designing with Trauma in Mind \nDr. Tricia Shalka is an associate professor of higher education at the University of Rochester’s Warner School of Education & Human Development. Dr. Shalka’s research primarily investigates the impacts of traumatic experience(s) on college students\, particularly in terms of developmental outcomes. Her scholarship also explores how trauma-informed practices can inform the work of both administrators and faculty in higher education. Dr. Shalka’s research has appeared in some of the top journals in higher education and she has won several awards for her research and teaching. Prior to becoming a faculty member\, Dr. Shalka spent several years working in higher education administration in areas such as residential life\, fraternity and sorority life\, institutional assessment\, and development and alumni relations. She credits those experiences for actively shaping her scholarship and teaching. Dr. Shalka holds a PhD from the Ohio State University\, a MA from the University of Maryland\, and a BA from Dartmouth College. \n  \n  \nTeam Registration\nConsistently\, some of the best feedback we receive from participants is from those who attended as members of an institutional team.

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. Aaron George\, an instructor for the Student Affairs in Higher Education (SAHE) program at Slippery Rock University\, as he presents research on how professionals of professionals of color\, who are themselves members of culturally based fraternal organizations (CBFOs)\, advocated for students of color and CBFOs on their campus. \n  \nBrief Summary: \nThis 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. \nPresenters: \nLauren N.

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. 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=America/New_York:20241021T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241021T210000 DTSTAMP:20260405T093347 CREATED:20240410T145453Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240530T174836Z UID:14046-1729533600-1729544400@myacpa.org SUMMARY:ACPA Day 100th Anniversary Dinner DESCRIPTION:In honor of ACPA Day and our 100th Anniversary Celebration\, please join us in Washington D.C. for our ACPA Day Dinner event on Monday\, October 21\, 2024. \nDinner will be hosted at Union Station in the Presidential Suite.

A faculty team of seasoned and diverse executive-level professionals from various types of institutions will lead participants in an introspective and intimate journey through six key questions: \n\nWhat is my path?\nWhat is this role?\nWho am I?\nHow shall I lead?\nWhere should I serve?\nWhat do I need?\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This unique professional development experience will provide participants with the opportunity to reflect on their personal identities\, vocational purpose\, and professional competencies through guided reflection and meaningful conversations in small and large group formats. Those who have already committed to the goal of serving as an SSAO or other executive officer\, as well as those who are simply contemplating it\, will benefit from the chance to think deeply and critically about that possibility with the assistance of experienced executive-level mentors. This institute will make you a stronger candidate for an SSAO or similar position and more professionally grounded when serving in this leadership role. \nA strong candidate for the ACPA Institute for Aspiring Executive Officers will possess: \n\nAt least five years of increasingly responsible management and/or leadership experience\, which includes at least three years of supervisory experience. \nAt least two years serving at the Associate Vice President/Chancellor or Director level.\nExperience in building and leading co-curricular programs and services.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n FACULTY\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n shawna cooper whitehead\, PhD\nshe\, her\, hers // Vice President for Student Affairs\, Boston College \nShawna Cooper Whitehead\, joined Boston College as the Vice President for Student Affairs in August 2021.

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:20241119T150000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20241119T160000 DTSTAMP:20260405T093347 CREATED:20241011T210955Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241011T211126Z UID:16635-1732028400-1732032000@myacpa.org SUMMARY:MID-LEVEL MORSEL’S COMMUNITY CONVERSATION: POST-ELECTION DESCRIPTION:MLCoP is excited to continue our professional development series #MidLevelMorsels\, where you can get bite-sized PD opportunities with fellow Mid-Level practitioners.

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=UTC:20241209T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20241211T120000 DTSTAMP:20260405T093347 CREATED:20241101T182845Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241203T183053Z UID:16818-1733734800-1733918400@myacpa.org SUMMARY:2024 Leadership Educators Institute DESCRIPTION:2024 Leadership Educators Intstitute\n registration is open!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 9-11 DECEMBER 2024 // philadelphia\, pa\n\nA partnership between NASPA\, ACPA-College Student Educators International\, and the National Clearinghouse for Leadership Programs (NCLP)\, LEI provides a unique opportunity for all professional levels within our field to engage in critical dialogue to promote positive sustainable change on their campuses. \n  \nproudly sponsored by: \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Kansas Leadership Center\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Leadershape\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Booth for Business\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Leadership is an integral competency for our profession.

A graduate of Colorado State University (Bachelor of Music and Master of Education) and the University of Maryland (Doctor of Philosophy)\, he was the founding chair of the Leadership Task Force of ACPA Commission IV in 1976. The integrative work of this group resulted in the publication of Student Leadership Programs in Higher Education (ACPA\, 1981) advocating “that leadership capacity be cultivated beyond those who held elected or selected positions through providing opportunities for multiple populations\, with multiple strategies\, to achieve multiple purposes\, such as training\, education\, and development” (CAS Student Leadership Standard\, 2018\, p. 1). The initial work of the ACPA Leadership Task Force grew into inter-association cooperation with other student affairs professional organizations. \nRoberts has maintained a career-long commitment to cultivating student leadership including; contributing to the first draft of the CAS Standard\, co-authoring the “Social Change Model of Leadership\,” serving as the Leadership Education convener and Board member of the International Leadership Association (ILA) from its founding\, serving on the drafting committee for the ILA “General Principles\,” and contributing to and serving as an evaluator for the first cohort of institutions for the Carnegie Elective Classification “Leadership for Public Purpose.” \nHis interest in leadership persisted throughout his forty-one-year career as a student affairs educator. He last served as Assistant Vice President of Education for Qatar Foundation.

We use the CliftonStrengths framework\, to empower participants to both develop their talents and customize the content based on those talents. We also use a wholistic approach\, because supervisors are more than their supervisor role. How you show up in the world\, impacts how you show up as a supervisor.\n\nParticipants in the Institute will get…\n\n\n8-Weeks of Online Learning Modules\, including weekly worksheets and reflection prompts\n9 Group Success and Accountability Calls with your Institute cohort (60-Minutes each)\n1 Individual Success and Accountability Call (30-Minutes)\nThe CliftonStrengths Report for Managers – featuring your Top 10 Talent Themes\n\nDuring the Institute\, we’ll cover a variety of topics\, all designed to transform you from a stressed and overwhelmed supervisor\, into a more effective and empowered leader to your team.

Yet\, we often waste our energy working on things that aren’t productive – or in ways that are productive. That leaves you feeling exhausted at work and at home. In this first week\, we’ll talk about how to better protect your energy\, so you can use it for the things that are most important to you.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Discovering your authentic leadership style\nThe greatest leaders aren’t good at everything. They focus their energy on their strengths and surround themselves with folks who excel in other areas. You’ll discover your own authentic leadership style\, one that stems from your unique talents. Once you know who you are as a leader\, you can better manage your energy and prioritize your time.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Understanding your Strengths\nYour talents impact how you interact with the world. When you use your talents productively\, they can drive you and your team to new levels of success. But what most people don’t know is your talents can just as easily show up as weaknesses. You’ll learn how to better manage your talents\, so your more effective and productive.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n coaching your team\n\nEmployees want a coach. Developing a system to consistently coach your team is one of the most effective things you can do as a supervisor. Coaching improves team performance and productivity. You’ll learn how to coach your team\, so you can help them focus their energy on their talents and give them opportunities for development.\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Stress & Self-Care\nSupervisors experience more stress than the folks they supervise. Left unchecked\, it will negatively impact how you show up as a supervisor. Self-care isn’t just a buzzword\, it’s crucial for your success and wellbeing. You’ll learn the real impact of stress and how to develop a daily self-care practice that will allow you to be more effective.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Performance Management\n\nOne of the most challenging parts of a supervisor’s job is managing your team’s performance. Unfortunately\, managing performance can be stressful when you don’t have an effective system. You’ll learn how to set clear expectations and hold folks accountable\, whether it’s celebrating successes or dealing with failure.\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n managing change\nOne of the things we hear from everyone is “there’s been a lot of change here.” Change is inevitable\, and often stressful. Throughout the Institute\, you’ll discover ways you and your team can improve. This week\, you’ll learn to roll out those changes in a way that minimizes stress to you and your team and increases your chance of success.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n implementing change\n\nThe last week of the Institute is focused on action. You’ll review what you’ve learned in the first seven weeks\, then develop your path forward\, with consideration to the specific needs of your institution.

Through expert-led conversations\, interactive sessions\, and collaborative networking opportunities\, participants will develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the potential for the role of a Dean of Students in higher education.

Often working with students or supporting the institution broadly during crises\, DOS professionals connect students to resources for physical or mental health needs\, address behavioral and academic misconduct\, respond to concerns about student or campus safety\, help students impacted by interpersonal violence navigate institutional and community processes\, and support all students as they progress toward their academic goals. In addition to direct service and care for students\, professionals in Dean of Students roles are also responsible for addressing broad campus issues\, creating or adapting policies\, and ensuring compliance with state and federal requirements. \nDean of Students professionals are expected to be the “jack of all trades” and masters of most. Although a variety of professional development opportunities speak to individual components of the role like student conduct\, case management\, or threat assessment\, no other experience focuses on this group of key professionals and the intersection of these complex issues.   \nThis learning experience is an institute and not a conference. Sessions are organized and sequenced to meet the needs of professionals at different places in their journey. Each session is also sequenced with learning outcomes to create an integrated\, developmentally scaffolded experience for the participants. Unlike conferences where participants choose to participate (or not) in concurrent sessions\, during this institute\, all attendees will participate in a cohort experience and are expected to engage fully in all aspects of the institute.  \n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\nThe ACPA Dean of Student Institute is designed to support professionals currently in the position of Dean of Students\, by title or areas of responsibility\, as well as those exploring the role as a potential career path.
