Engaging students of color in major campus<br />
organizations at predominately white institutions<br />
is difficult. This session will introduce<br />
best practices used by the staff at Indiana<br />
University Memorial Union Board that<br />
led to a 73 percent increase in students of<br />
color on the programming board. Participants<br />
will learn to develop a plan of action<br />
to recruit, retain, and engage students of<br />
color in student organizations at PWIs. Our<br />
experience is with a programming board, this<br />
information can transcend to working with<br />
all students.<br />
900 Orientation, Technology,<br />
and Implications for the Future<br />
Student Success; Student Learning and<br />
Development<br />
Location: Baltimore <strong>Convention</strong> Center, 314<br />
Program Presenter: Jennifer Nakhla, The<br />
Ohio State University-Columbus<br />
Additional Presenters: Rebecca Ascher,<br />
The Ohio State University<br />
Through orientation programs students<br />
receive important information and build<br />
peer relationships, becoming acclimated with<br />
their new, collegiate environment. As masters<br />
students in higher education at Ohio State,<br />
we researched this transition into college<br />
through orientation in the United Kingdom.<br />
Some UK universities use the efficient accessibility<br />
of technology to ensure the majority<br />
of incoming students receive the significant<br />
information needed for smooth, successful<br />
transitions into the university. This program<br />
highlights the potential benefits of utilizing<br />
this same technology in the United States.<br />
901 The Role of Creativity in<br />
the Development of Academic<br />
Identity<br />
Student Learning and Development<br />
Location: Baltimore <strong>Convention</strong> Center, 321<br />
Program Presenter: Robert Aaron, Indiana<br />
University-Purdue University <strong>Indianapolis</strong><br />
The purpose of this study was to generate<br />
a grounded theory that explores the role of<br />
creativity in the development of identity and<br />
purpose in undergraduate seniors. A senior<br />
capstone project, like a thesis, an art exposition,<br />
or a music recital, was seen as a technique<br />
allowing for expressions of creativity.<br />
Fourteen undergraduate seniors completing<br />
capstone projects were interviewed, and their<br />
stories, along with concepts from pre-existing<br />
literature, helped form a theory on academic<br />
identity development.<br />
902 <strong>ACPA</strong> Foundation<br />
Sponsored Program—Using<br />
Research and Theory to Help<br />
Understand Student Veterans’<br />
Experiences<br />
Student Success; Assessment,<br />
Evaluation, and Research (AER)<br />
Location: Baltimore <strong>Convention</strong> Center, 344<br />
Program Presenter: Corey Rumann,<br />
University of West Georgia<br />
This program will present an overview of<br />
current research concerning student veterans’<br />
experiences and transitions at U. S. colleges<br />
and universities. Theoretical perspectives that<br />
can help conceptualize the student veteran<br />
experience will be discussed. The ways in<br />
which student affairs professionals can use<br />
these theoretical perspectives and findings<br />
from current research to inform effective<br />
practices when working with college student<br />
veterans will be emphasized. Participants will<br />
be asked to share their successes and challenges<br />
related to meeting student veterans’<br />
needs.<br />
903 How a Small School<br />
Hosted a Big Emergency<br />
Preparedness Drill<br />
Location: Baltimore <strong>Convention</strong> Center, 340<br />
Program Presenter: Erin Cannan, Bard<br />
College<br />
Institutions are obligated to test emergency<br />
responses, which can be time consuming.<br />
With the help of local agencies, colleges<br />
can consider a new approach to emergency<br />
management. Collaborative emergency preparedness<br />
training utilizing local emergency<br />
agencies can build bridges and strengthen<br />
emergency responses. Hear from the interdisciplinary<br />
planning team that hosted a<br />
full-scale emergency management drill on the<br />
Bard College campus.<br />
904 Coaching Your Team...<br />
Revamping Traditional<br />
Supervision<br />
Leadership; Human and Organizational<br />
Resources<br />
Location: Baltimore <strong>Convention</strong> Center, 339<br />
Program Presenter: Kelly Lough, California<br />
State University-Chico<br />
Additional Presenters: Courri Brady,<br />
California State University-Chico<br />
Supervision can be a significant portion of<br />
job responsibilities, especially for those in<br />
housing and residence life. However, while<br />
many student affairs professionals know<br />
how to supervise undergraduate students<br />
(paraprofessionals), very little training is done<br />
on how to be effective with graduate students<br />
and professionals. This engaging and interactive<br />
presentation will allow for dialogue<br />
and presentation of ways to be an effective<br />
and developmental supervisor for graduate<br />
students and professional staff.<br />
905 Provide a Sense of<br />
Mattering and Purpose<br />
Through Adult Education<br />
Human and Organizational Resources<br />
Location: Baltimore <strong>Convention</strong> Center, 342<br />
Program Presenter: Candace Maddox,<br />
University of Georgia<br />
Additional Presenters: Daysha Pierce,<br />
University of Georgia<br />
Incorporating adult education into a staff<br />
development model yields higher levels of<br />
staff competency, satisfaction, and results in a<br />
more enhanced co-educational experience for<br />
those we serve—students. This engaging presentation<br />
will cover the significance of adult<br />
education and provide participants with tangible<br />
information for integrating a program<br />
into their own staff development model.<br />
References to literature will be provided as<br />
well as details of the Adult Education Program<br />
within the Department of University<br />
Housing at the University of Georgia.<br />
