In ‘Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence
Prevention Programs,’ the new CAS standards
stipulate that programs must assess relevant
and desirable student learning and development,
and be intentionally designed, and delivered
using multiple formats. During this workshop,
the presenters will introduce participants to
a model for instituting a campus-wide sexual
assault prevention program. The model includes
best practices for program development, peer
education, staff and faculty collaboration,
assessment, bystander intervention, and social
norming.

PC14 Beyond Suspension: Bold Approaches
to Engaging Students
Marriott, Grand Ballroom (9)
Lara Scott, The University of Vermont
Laura Lee, The University of Vermont
Kim Martin, The University of Vermont
What lies at the root of behavioral concerns?
Many factors impact choices that students make:
addiction, pressure to conform, social injustices,
and unhealthy environments, among others.
Conduct offi ces have an opportunity to examine
student behavior and offer bold, innovative
programs and services that get at the heart of the
behavior. In this highly interactive half-day session,
participants will discuss holistic approaches to
engaging students, participate in action planning,
and leave with tangible resources to apply to their
conduct programs.
PC15 Learning Outcomes & Assessment
Strategies for Practitioners
Marriott, Grand Ballroom (10)
Joann Prosser, University of Maryland
Ann Becks, University of Maryland
Jay Garvey, University of Maryland
As practitioners are called upon to demonstrate
program outcomes, developing an assessment
strategy can be daunting. In the fi rst part of this
workshop, the presenters will review strategies
to develop manageable assessment practices,
leverage existing information, and incorporate
both direct and indirect assessment methods
(i.e., using more than surveys). Participants will
then choose a general assessment or learning
outcomes track to apply this knowledge to their
own programs. Participants are encouraged to
bring specifi c program information and attend as
a team.

Recognizing the impact of youth as change agents

created a leadership summit to tackle challenges
facing campuses today: hate, propaganda,
indifference, and fl agging civic engagement.
The summit empowers leaders to fi nd allies and
build coalitions for action through exposure to
powerful personal stories, inspiring role models,
and practical tools. In this session, museum
educators, summit participants, and partners from
NASPA, will share strategies to bring this model
for dialogue and leadership development to your
campus.
