On 2 June 2005, we will have our Second
Division of Student Affairs Research Fair,
demonstrating how these various ways of
learning about our students work together
on current student issues. This will allow
much of the great Divisional work in student
learning, research, outcomes assessment,
and forward strategic planning to converge
and enliven the whole fabric of the Division
of Student Affairs. The array of topics
and issues addressed in the Division is
vast, including:
• Millennial students (the changes
in them, as well as their parents),
• Spiritual and ethical development
of students,
• Life skill development,
• Community building,
• Students and today’s economy
(focusing on current challenges as well
as future issues for today’s students).
Our Goal Outcomes Assessment Fair in June
2004 was a great success. It attracted over
50 people to an afternoon of discussion
and networking around Division goal assessment.
This fair met intended goals in level of
participation and in reported satisfaction
by attendees. The networking and implementation
of new ideas continues to expand months
later, and will greatly inform Divisional
goal work in the coming months.
Building on the success of the Research
Roundtable fair in June 2004, this annual
fair focuses on current student related
research. The intended target participants
is a broad and varied collection: Faculty,
students, Divisional staff, community leaders,
and the media.
