For many second year graduate students, the season of job searching feels like it is quickly approaching. People may be feeling all types of things at this point – excitement, apprehension, jealousy, panic, and more. Students in a cohort or those with close colleagues in the field may also have another layer added to their job search process – interactions with others also engaged in job searching at the same time.

In student affairs, we spend a great deal of time building the leaders of tomorrow. However, we often fail to incorporate the most important leadership skill: career readiness. Being ready for the workplace is the very reason students go to college in the first place. So why aren’t we making sure that component is present every step of the way? Our leadership programs should have learning outcomes, things we want our students to know or be able to do as a result of completing the activity or lea

Professional development is critical for continuous education and growth purposes. But, many offices aren’t able to send their staff to multi-day conferences or specialized training and institutes. Thus, we must be able to adapt and think about ways we can leverage available resources such as the ACPA/NASPA Core Competencies. Here are three quick ways to think about incorporating the framework into your professional growth for 2018.

For the past eleven years, I spent nearly three and a half hours per day traveling to work. That equals a horrible grand total of 17 hours per week! Finding out this fun fact usually led my colleagues to ask, “are you nuts?” But as recent research suggests, I’m certainly not the only one undertaking such a commute on a daily basis! I’ve started an exciting new position at a new university and while I have wholeheartedly embraced my now under 30 minute commute to work, my experi

When is the last time someone told you that, “you seem like a good fit…but…” – and the “but” was something arbitrary on your resume? What do we do about this? I often run into the problem of being both overqualified (over-educated) and underqualified (years of full-time experience.) It’s a tough balance to manage.

Student affairs profes sionals spend their work lives helping to educate and develop their students, but don’t necessarily have the time or resources to educate and develop themselves by presenting at conferences, nor sometimes have the financial resources to go to conferences. Between the time commitment, conference fees, travel and lodging, and food, spending a few days at a conference can come at a hefty cost for college and university budgets.

With everything already on our plates, adding yet-another-Thing(tm) can be overwhelming. When the Thing(tm) is tuning into public policy, suddenly that stubborn task at the bottom of your to-do list moves up a notch.

Does student affairs usually bring to mind working in student activities, orientation, or residence life? Do we often consider academic affairs as a pathway that we highlight to new professionals pursuing work in the field? I recently read Kathryn Angeles’ post “ Bridging the Gap Between Academic Affairs and Student Affairs: A Student Affairs Professional in an Academic Center #CSAM17 ” and was reflecting on my own experiences at the intersection of student and academic affairs.

I remember the moment I received my master’s degree. I shook a bunch of hands, accepted my diploma (or…diploma cover) and sat back in my chair. My inner dialogue? “I will finish my education with a terminal degree someday.” About 12 years later, I began my PhD program. In my experience, there are two struggles in completing a terminal degree.

Mirrors come in all shapes and sizes. Whether it is a small compact, magnifying, or full body length mirror, they all typically have the same function – to take a look at and examine oneself. Still, not all mirrors are a person point of vanity (pun intended). Consider for example, the purpose and function of the rear-view mirror. As highlighted in one of my favorite @leadershipdots blog posts titled rear view , dr. beth triplett illustrates that while in our own vehicle, a glance in our rear-vie

As student affairs professionals, we’ve experienced both highs and lows related to the (real or perceived) tension between academic affairs and student affairs. When your work is about supporting, educating, and developing students, governance structures and funding formulas matter. Sometimes we’re credited for graduating students and other times we’re accused of doing nothing more than hosting pizza parties.

When I started my undergraduate experience at Rowan University in 2004, I vividly remember seeing the orientation leaders dancing on stage. My mother whispered in my ears, “You should do this!” Two years later I was one of those upperclassman performing to new audiences of incoming students. I didn’t realize those experiences would greatly shape my change in career path from journalist to higher ed practitioner.

When it comes to career services, there is an alphabet soup of certifications that you can receive. So, how do you decide whether or not you need a certification, which one is right for you, and where to receive the certification from? I feel like these are all questions that were haunting me for the past couple years. These questions felt especially timely around annual evaluations when asked about future professional development opportunities or interests.

During graduate school some students push themselves to experience multiple functional areas within students affairs. Others students complete their experience with more in-depth experience in one assistantship. Depending on the program and the opportunities that it provides, it can be difficult to get varied experiences. Still, many students still have a clear focus and “dream job” in mind when starting their master’s program.
