Additional Presenters: Leslie Harms,<br />
University of Tennessee-Chattanooga<br />
In an age where international travel makes<br />
college graduates more marketable, it is vital<br />
that students with disabilities also have this<br />
opportunity. Travel is difficult due to lack<br />
of accessibility and fear of the unknown.<br />
Through designing a study abroad opportunity<br />
targeted at disability access, participants<br />
were able to do this in a safe way. Attendees<br />
will be introduced to two very different<br />
approaches to disability culture from two<br />
separate travel experiences.<br />

Inclusion<br />
Location: Baltimore <strong>Convention</strong> Center, 323<br />
Program Presenter: Christopher Bridges,<br />
Xavier University of Ohio<br />
We will review and discuss how white male<br />
students define themselves as social justice<br />
allies. This topic has emerged from my own<br />
experiences as a privileged man working as<br />
an ally. I will discuss what I have learned<br />
through my qualitative (constructivist<br />
grounded theory) research with current college<br />
students, privileged as I am, who actively<br />
identify as allies, including co-researcher.<br />
motivations, challenges, and experiences.<br />
We will also discuss how we as practitioners<br />
can encourage the growth of allies.<br />

student success in the context of the current<br />
economy. It will inspire creativity to envision<br />
new ways to engage and support students<br />
with fewer human and fiscal resources. It<br />
will provide practical tools and guidance for<br />
building partnerships that get things done in<br />
the short term as well as partnerships with<br />

new professionals, in particular gay professionals,<br />
can expand personal wellness, find<br />
meaning in their work, and identify strategies<br />
for effective leadership. The discussions in<br />
this session will implore strategies for creating<br />

Additional Presenters: Kathryn Klose,<br />
University of Maryland, University College<br />
Individuals administering academic policies<br />
and handling student appeals understand<br />
the difficulties of evaluating complex cases<br />
efficiently and equitably. The presenters will<br />
discuss the research that led them to adapt<br />
Toulmin’s model of argument and reasoning<br />
as a practical framework for resolving student<br />
appeals. They will introduce a case evaluation<br />
worksheet based on Toulmin’s model<br />
and discuss its testing and implementation.<br />
Participants will use the worksheet in a<br />
hypothetical case and share their experiences<br />
with the framework and with other decisionmaking<br />
models.<br />

Sponsored Program<br />
Location: Hilton Baltimore, Key 8<br />
Program Presenter: Matthew Fifolt, University<br />
of Alabama-Birmingham<br />
Have you and your colleagues struggled<br />
with attempts to revise vision and mission<br />
statements? So have we. The leadership team<br />
in the Division of Student Affairs at UAB<br />
was challenged to develop a vision that was<br />
both useful and compelling to internal and<br />
external constituents. Rather than taking a<br />
conventional top-down approach, our staff<br />
undertook a structured process focused on<br />
reflection, introspection, and collaboration.<br />
Come and learn more about Appreciative<br />
Inquiry (AI) and how we implemented it on<br />
our campus.<br />
