Presenter: Dr. Emily Messa, Assoc. VC/VP, Administration at the University of Houston, and Rickey Frierson, Graduate Assistant in Assessment and Evaluation at the University of Houston. This presentation will be a continuation and update to the previous presentation on student employee training at C3X 2018. We will describe our processes and methods utilized to collect information in developing a student worker training program to prepare students for their future careers. This assessment focused on the necessary experiences and workplace skills that are useful for student workers as identified by supervisors. Research shows that working on campus enhances students’ academic performance, as well as provide students with professional experience. We conducted focus groups with supervisors within the Division of Administration and Finance at the University of Houston to identify key work place skills, behaviors and attitudes that supervisors in non-academic position believe are essential for student workers. Come learn about how we developed a training module for student workers and prepared our student employees with the tools, resources, and training to position them for success in their career path. |
Presenters: Buddy Hall, Principal at Hanbury, Ken Horvath, Chief Planning Officer at Michigan State University, and Rob White, President at Envision Strategies In 2007, Michigan State University’s Division of Residential and Hospitality Services, one of the largest and most complex in the United States, began a comprehensive reevaluation of its operations and services delivery with the goal of helping the university improve its reputation as a World Class Land Grant institution. During an era of shrinking state support for higher education RHS embarked on an ambitious process to clarify their mission and vision, make the hard decisions about investments, and totally redefine how student services would be delivered. The plan was so successful it was updated in 2012 to sustain the momentum. Three of the key players in this process will discuss how the process was envisioned and implemented. They will talk about ways what they learned could be successfully implemented at other institutions regardless of size and lead participants in a mock visioning exercise. |
Presenter: Keya Allen, Associate Executive Director at California State University - Fullerton This webinar will provide strategies to help prepare for major events to allow for diverse and competing viewpoints to be presented in a safe and educational atmosphere. We will focus on a review of a case study from CSU Fullerton where a national controversial speaker was scheduled to speak on campus, which attracted strong attention from both supporters and critics of the speaker. The community's reaction and response demonstrated the importance of a well thought out safety and strategic plan. |
