779 Controversies of Race,<br />
Space, and Language: Toward<br />
Inclusion and Equity in Student<br />
Affairs<br />
Leadership in Challenging Times;<br />
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion<br />
Location: Baltimore <strong>Convention</strong> Center,<br />
Ballroom II & IV<br />
Program Presenter: Peter Magolda, Miami<br />
University-Oxford<br />
Additional Presenters: Kristen Renn,<br />
Michigan State University; Tricia Seifert,<br />
University of Toronto; Stephen Quaye,<br />
University of Maryland, College Park; Julie Park,<br />
Miami University<br />
This featured panel highlights three critical<br />
and contentious issues—race, space, and<br />
language—perplexing the academy. Dr. Julie<br />
Park explores why race is such a challenging<br />
topic for students and student affairs<br />
educators to discuss openly; she focuses on<br />
the prominence of colorblindness and the<br />
tendency to associate race with overt racism.<br />
Dr. Kris Renn explores various perspectives<br />
on identity centers (e.g., women’s center,<br />
multicultural center), in particular whether<br />
they are sites of “self-segregation” or locations<br />
of strengths-based student development and<br />
empowerment. Dr. Stephen Quaye examines<br />
the power of language, pointing out how<br />
words can marginalize collegiate subcultures.<br />
These are three of 24 critical and contentious<br />
issues raised in a forthcoming book entitled<br />
Contested Issues in Student Affairs. Dr. Peter<br />
Magolda, co-editor of this book, will moderate<br />
the panel.<br />
10:30 AM - 11:45 AM<br />
780 Research Paper Session<br />
Assessment, Evaluation, and Research<br />
(AER)<br />
Location: Hilton Baltimore, Key 8<br />
Getting a PhD: Tougher for women &<br />
people of color?<br />
Presenter: In Paik, Cornell University<br />
This paper presents a case study of three<br />
population cohorts of graduate students<br />
pursuing doctorates at one elite research<br />
university in the US, to examine the influence<br />
of gender and race on the formation of<br />
faculty advisory relationships within these<br />
student cohorts. Using longitudinal data,<br />
the researcher examine the extent to which<br />
these relationships impact various milestones<br />
en route to Ph.D. attainment and ultimately<br />
PhD completion.<br />
Reconceptualizing the Transition to<br />
Practice for Student Affairs Practitioners<br />
Presenter: Rosemary J. Perez, University of<br />
Michigan-Ann Arbor<br />
Despite efforts within student affairs<br />
graduate programs to prepare practitioners<br />
effectively for the workplace, discontinuities<br />
between academic training and field experiences<br />
remain. The inconsistencies between<br />
preparatory experiences and practice have<br />
long-term implications for professional<br />
commitment, satisfaction, and retention. As<br />
such, this scholarly paper attempts to create<br />
a new conceptual model for understanding<br />
the transition from graduate preparation<br />
programs to practice within student affairs by<br />
drawing upon literature in related professions<br />
and the theoretical frameworks of socialization,<br />
sensemaking, and reflective practice.<br />
The Current Status of Career Services at<br />
Colleges and Universities<br />
Presenter: Bonita M. Vinson, LeTourneau<br />
University<br />
In 1979, college career planning programs<br />
were a relatively new concept. However,<br />
consolidated vocational and career planning<br />
resources, personnel, and services have<br />
evolved over the last 30 years. Participants<br />
will review and discuss the historical relevance<br />
and results and findings of a recent<br />
research study on the status of career services<br />
compared to 30 years ago. Practitioners of all<br />
levels will leave the session with knowledge<br />
from empirical data that informs practices for<br />
improved college career services.<br />
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM<br />

CSP faculty have challenged graduate<br />
students to “Be More” throughout the<br />
years. A panel of five faculty members who<br />
have taught in preparation programs for<br />
a cumulative total of more than 125 years<br />
will be asked to reflect on the lessons they<br />
have learned from students, practitioners,<br />
and teaching. Panelists will respond to<br />
questions about how graduate students and<br />
the field have changed, progress in the area<br />
of inclusion, and their visions for the future.<br />
Audience questions will be encouraged.<br />
