Michigan Chief Student Affairs Offi cers represent
the fi fteen public institutions in the state of
Michigan; collectively, they have over 450
years of experience in higher education. They
meet without fail twice each year to engage in
analyzing legislation, problem solving, sharing
best practices, and serving as sounding boards
for one another. When the group met for their
retreat in May 2012, they immersed themselves
in discussion focusing on three topics: (1)
Innovation & Change; (2) Appreciating the
Generational Divide: Baby Boomers, Gen X’ers,
and Millennials; and (3) Talent Development and
Succession Planning. At the conclusion of their
retreat, these Senior Student Affairs Offi cers
were eager to share their insights, discoveries,
and ‘Aha!’ moments. Utilizing data, current
literature, personal anecdotes, and Paul Gauguin’s
masterpiece, Where Do We Come From? What
Are We? Where Are We Going?, the presenters
will take participants on a journey through our
profession. Presenters will use an appreciative
inquiry model to frame the session, encouraging
discussion, refl ection, inquiry, visioning, and
innovative thinking.

Assistant/Associate Vice Presidents (AVPs) hold
a unique leadership role, which requires them to
both represent the vision of the Vice President
and establish themselves as bold leaders. Many
professionals are attracted to the AVP position,
but often do not understand its full purpose and
responsibilities. In this interactive session, the
presenters will explore topics pertinent to current
AVPs, including networking, navigating politics,
and management versus leadership.

Does your programming for student veterans
make sense? Are you considering developing
programming for student veterans? During this
interactive session, participants will have an
opportunity to discuss their programs with experts
who have implemented successful programs
within the context of a new conceptual framework
that may shape the way we serve student
veterans in the future. Those considering starting
programming for student veterans will be able
to glean best practices and also ask questions of
experts in a developmental environment.

University of New York
We know that not all learning occurs in the
classroom, but how do we assess student
learning outside of the classroom? The University
at Albany’s systemic approach to developing
specifi c, measurable learning outcomes and
identifying direct methods for their evaluation has
resulted in evidence of student learning outside
of the classroom. This pre-conference session,
sponsored by the Student Affairs Assessment,
Evaluation and Research Knowledge Community,
will help participants identify and measure,
through direct methods, student learning.
Qualitative data analysis and the use of rubrics will
be highlighted.
