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. That way when the Institute is finished\, you can move forward\, focusing on exactly what you need to do to get the results you want.\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration Rates\nEach attendee of the Supervisor Strengths Institute must register separately\, but team rates are available.

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. Exploring\, aspiring\, and current DOS attendees will leave the institute empowered and ready to create a nurturing environment that promotes success and well-being. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n FEATURES\nThrough participation in the Dean of Student Institute\, you will have the opportunity to: \n\nExplore and analyze dimensions of the DOS role and formulate priorities for action.\nCreate a network of peer support for your current role and beyond with professionals from across higher education.\nConstruct an individualized plan based on what you learned for ongoing well-being\, personal\, and professional development as a senior-level higher education professional.\n\n\nStudent affairs educators who work in the Dean of Student (DOS) space play unique and critical roles within higher education and for the students they serve. 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. This includes AVC/Dean of Students\, Deans of Students\, Associate/Assistant Deans\, and senior- or mid-level professionals from across student affairs to include housing\, student conduct\, and case management. \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 Will J.

As institutions continue to navigate the ripple effects of declining enrollment\, shifting student needs\, and economic pressures\, the path forward in 2025 remains unclear. What is clear\, however\, is that the essential work of higher education must continue—even as campuses are being asked to do more with fewer resources than ever before. Amidst these challenges\, collaboration and innovation are not just helpful—they are necessary. \nThis dynamic conversation will bring together key decision-makers from ACPA\, NACAS\, and SCUP to discuss the realities of operating under limited capacity\, the ways in which our segments of the higher education ecosystem influence one another\, and\, most importantly\, the opportunities we see to succeed through strategic partnerships\, shared resources\, and a collective commitment to reimagining what’s possible.

This bold initiative was born from countless hours of dialogue with our members\, thoughtful insights from volunteer leaders\, survey data\, and deep conversations held during our respective conferences. Together\, we recognized that the complex\, interconnected challenges facing higher education require a new way of working—one that bridges the gaps between functional areas and fosters collaboration across traditional silos. \nThe I-AM initiative reflects a shared belief that higher education must be transformed—and that associations like ours have a responsibility to model the kind of cross-sector collaboration we hope to see on campuses nationwide.

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.
