"The Work is Yours": Integrating Mission into Graduate Assistant & Professional Staff Training Hariri 350

The Office of Residence Life at Saint Mary’s University underwent recent transition in its leadership. Viewing this as a time for change and an opportunity to strengthen the core practices within the department, an effort was made, through the guidance of the Office of Mission, to integrate three aspects of our Lasallian heritage and mission, into the training of both professional Graduate Assistant Hall Director staff and student-staff (resident assistants). The purpose of this program is to help inspire new ways to integrate institutional mission and heritage into the training of Residence Life Staff.Presented By: Tim Gossen & Brendan Dolan, Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota

Deferred Suspension: An Alternative Sanctioning Model for Male Students, Centered on Self-Exploration & Growth Hariri 340

The SJU Deferred Suspension program is a conduct intervention program created as a result of a committee of SJU student affairs professionals who gathered to review the number of students on conduct related probation and students who could potentially be suspended for future violations. While suspension is necessary in many cases, we considered other alternatives in lieu of suspension. In addition, while “time away” from campus can be construed as educational; as a group we felt that we could do more on the front end to offer a class or experience to help students with their personal exploration, growth, and self-awareness. Presented By: Michael Connolly, Saint John’s University

Learning About Catholic Social Thought Through Bystander Intervention Training Programs Hariri 145

Colleges and universities across the United States are using bystander intervention training programs to educate students about health and social justice issues. The bystander intervention model of education aims to teach students to become “active bystanders” who challenge problematic behaviors that they witness, and social structures that support such behaviors. This session explores the bystander intervention model of education within the light of Catholic social thought, focusing on programs addressing sexual violence such as the P.E.E.P.s., the Peer Education and Empowerment Program at Siena College. Presented By: Dr. Joy Galarneau & Dr. Shannon O’Neill, Siena College

Mission Magnified: Teaching Students About Mission Through the First-Year Experience Hariri 250

How can we interest today’s first-year students in our institutional missions? What is the best way to inspire new learners to experience their faith at Catholic colleges/universities? For almost a decade, Madonna University has required students to complete a first-year seminar course and service-learning project as part of a learning community. Combining these structures within the first-year experience has inspired students and faculty alike to live the mission. Orientation agendas, syllabi, project outlines, and other resources will be shared.Presented By: Christine Benson, Madonna University

The Crisis in Masculinity Myth: What’s at Stake and How We Can Truly Help Our Male Students Hariri 240

Have you ever wondered why so many of our male students are so disengaged? Have you wondered why they would much rather play video games then come to your program? Have you ever wondered why these are our default questions when working with our male students? Come learn briefly how crisis in masculinity myths inhibit our ability to effectively educate our male students, three vital questions male programming needs to answer, and the results from a piloted program at Notre Dame, which debunks the myths and truly engages young men.Presented By: Emmanuel Cannady,University of Notre Dame

The Dorothy Day Social Justice Living-Learning Community Hariri 155

This program was organized to introduce and integrate academic and social learning in a residence hall setting through faculty involvement with the goal of an enriched learning experience for all participants. As such, it included a cohesive curriculum, meaningful faculty/student interaction, meaningful peer interaction focused on academics, a residence hall and floor environment that supports academics, and meaningful diverse interactions. It also met the goal of offering a living-learning program for sophomore students.Presented By: Dr. Jim McMahon, Marquette University

Understanding the College Choice Process of Catholic Homeschooled Students Hariri 150

With the growth of homeschooling in the United States nearly doubling in the past eight years, this session seeks to engage Catholic student affairs professionals in dialogue and discussion on how best to serve and understand this emerging market of traditional age college students. Drawing from research conducted in a recent qualitative study, I will present practical implications for those interested in recruiting and assisting Catholic homeschooled students.Presented By: Dr. Linda Henry, Benedictine College

Uniting Mission & Student Activities at Catholic Colleges and Universities Hariri 160

Administrators at Catholic institutions are called to advise, provide social activities and develop leadership programs in unification with their institution mission. Student desire for cutting edge may conflict with the institutional identity/mission. Administrative decisions involving the approval of student clubs, fundraising activities or imprinting apparel within institutional context is challenging. This session will allow participants to share their best practices of uniting mission with student activities experiences though the exploration of and discussion of different programming models, strategies and ideologies.Presented By: Peggy Hnatusko, University of Notre Dame

Year 7 of a Staff Development Model: Embracing the Gift of Tension Hariri 230

A high functioning Student Affairs staff recognizes conflict and tension inherent in our Catholic missions. Celebrating our future, together, demands staff embrace difficult conversations with ALL members of the campus community, so that we may deepen our understanding of Catholic identity in light of our history and current context. Learn about a Student Affairs staff development model that prepares the way for engaging and transformational work and discussion in Catholic higher education.Presented By: Lisa Kirkpatrick & James Puglisi, Saint Edwards University

Beloved Friends and Allies: Creating a Vision to Serve LGBTQ & Heterosexual Students at Notre Dame Hariri 160 This session outlines the University of Notre Dame’s process to create “Beloved Friends and Allies,” our pastoral plan to address the needs of both Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ) and heterosexual students. We will share the strategies that Notre Dame utilized to assess needs, review current practices, benchmark with other institutions and identify services for implementation. We seek to discuss how other universities have undergone similar reviews and share lessons learned, rewards, and challenges. Pre-reading of Notre Dame’s pastoral plan (friendsandallies.nd.edu) is encouraged. Together, as Catholic colleges and universities, we hope to establish best practices in serving our students who identify as LGBTQ and their allies.Presented By: Karen Kennedy, Erin Hoffman Harding, Brian Coughlin & Christine Caron Gebhardt, University of Notre Dame

Blessed Teresa of Calcutta's Message for a Culture in Crisis in an Age of Discontent Hariri 130 Every age in human history has experienced economic distress, injustice, violence and an assortment of crises. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta challenges us to trust in Divine Providence and to live life doing small deeds with love for God and neighbor. As one of the most remarkable spiritual leaders of the 20th c. she began serving the poorest of the poor in India. She advocates a simple spirituality rooted in the sacraments, daily prayer and in a steadfast outreach to everyone who hunger for God, food, peace and justice. The presentation will provide the opportunity to reflect on Blessed Teresa spiritual directives for a culture in crisis in an age of discontent, to discuss its significance for the future of Catholic teaching in higher education environments and to explore ways to implement Blessed Teresa’s leadership of service in student affairs practices.Presented By: Dr. Mary Ilu Altman, Saint Elizabeth School of Nursing - Saint Joseph's College

Campus Emergency Management Hariri 240 This presentation will provide guidance for small colleges on the establishment of a Emergency Management organization. It will provide a practical, business-focused crisis management approach that can be adopted at universities. It will also show campuses how to identify risks faced by colleges and perform a risk analysis. Attendees will gain an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the Crisis Management Team. The program will demonstrate how to apply the Prevention, Preparation, Response, and Recovery (P2R2) process pro-actively. Drill and exercise management will also be addressed.Presented By: Vito Czyz, Saint Bonaventure University

Career Exploration, Education, and Development: Everyone's Job Hariri 350In recent years higher education costs have drawn scrutiny and pointed criticism. "What is the return on investment?" is asked more frequently than ever before. Catholic colleges and universities, in particular, justify higher tuition costs by highlighting learning outcomes and lifelong benefits. This session will explore the unique ways in which all student affairs staff can, and should, help students plan and prepare for internships, networking, graduate school, service, careers, and living lives of purpose and meaning. Presented By: Patti Goff & Steve Sears, Providence College

Catholicism 101 Hariri 150An introduction to the basic teachings and practices of Catholicism, structured according to Ninian Smart’s seven dimensions of the sacred: ritual, doctrine, narrative, experience, ethics, organization, and aesthetics. This session will discuss the basic teachings and practices of Catholicism, including the following topics: the meaning of faith, the Catholic approach to Sacred Scripture, major Catholic doctrines (e.g., the Trinity), the essentially communal nature of Catholicism (i.e., the necessity of the church), the centrality of the sacraments (especially the Eucharist), and the basic principles of Catholic social teaching. It will also touch briefly on the relevance of Pope John Paul II’s Apostolic Constitution on Catholic Universities, Ex corde ecclesiae. The session is designed for any new professional to Catholic higher education, but it would also serve as a good refresher for experienced colleagues.Presented By: Fr. Dennis Tamburello, Siena College

Experiential Educational & Learning in the Community & Career DiscernmentHariri 155Looking for ideas about experiential education and programs that can be implemented on your campus? Look no further; this session will walk attendees through various experiential programs currently being implemented by The Civic Engagement and Career Development Center at St. Mary’s University. As well as, discuss the structure of the office to explain how both career development and civic engagement work in tandem to create opportunities for students to serve their community throughout college and within their career.Presented By: Jimmy Linehan, Saint Mary’s University

Marijuana Intervention: A New Approach to Low Level Drug UseHariri 340In this workshop presentation we will present a new approach taken on by The Catholic University of America in working with students who participate in low-level drug use. We will highlight the overall development of the program, and review how it has been received during its second year of existence. Additionally, we will review motivational interviewing, the specifics of implementation of the program and challenges faced. The conclusion of the workshop will be reviewing and designing the program to be a strong fit for your institution, as well as participating in group brainstorming on what else can be added to the program to make it more impactful.Presented By: Amy Kerr & Kate O’Connor, The Catholic University of America

The Georgetown "Safety Net"Hariri 250Under the supervision of the Assistant Vice President for Student Health Services, the Case Manager position at Georgetown University is designed to work with high-risk, complex student situations. The role serves to connect entities across campus, in order to coordinate outreach to students of concern. Blending best practices from both social work and college student development, the function and goals of case management, as an independent entity within student affairs, will be outlined. Case studies will allow participants an opportunity to experience mock student crises, and practice case management and team-based behavioral intervention.Presented By: Kathleen Boin & Mary Dluhy, Georgetown University

The Most Valuable Participant Program; Enhancing Campus Pride and Student EngagementHariri 145Campus pride and school spirit are hallmarks of the American college experience. How do we enhance school spirit on our campuses? One possible answer may be the Most Valuable Participant (MVP) program. The MVP program utilizes electronic swipes, attendance data, and the use of social media to increase student participation and enhance campus pride. Participants will also be asked to share similar programs on their campuses.Presented By: Douglas Geiger & Mary Pelkowski, Saint John’s University

What Would Saint Francis Do: Putting Our Mission Into PracticeHariri 230In this session participants will learn how we have been able to translate our Franciscan mission into practice in The Office of Residential Life at Siena College. Through the surveying of Resident Assistants (RA), resident students, presentations, as well as implementing creative programming (such as Fish and a Friar), we have been able to help bring the message of Saint Francis and our Franciscan values to life for our students. In this presentation we will highlight how we have integrated our values into student staff hiring and training processes, RA programming, student conduct meetings, and have been an integral part of campus-wide initiatives. We will challenge participants to simplify and evaluate the mission/vision of their own institutions and together we will brainstorm ideas that will bring mission to life at your campus.Presented By: Katherine Wolanin & Adam Casler, Siena College

Article Publishing for Student Affairs Professionals Hariri 145Your work can have a wider impact if you publish articles in key journals and even in the campus-focused media like "The Chronicle of Higher Education," "Change," and the education sections of major newspapers. However, most administrators report that they have little time for writing and publishing in their fields, or for taking on "public intellectual" roles in the media. Since 2006 scores of scholars with administrative leadership roles at Georgetown, plus Catholic University, St. Joseph's University, the University of Michigan, Suffolk University, and the University of Virginia, among others, have worked with Carole Sargent to develop a dynamic publishing system just for administrators. Our focus will be on journals in your field such as those published by NAPSA, and also on the education media, but these principles apply to any publishing. This proven method also contributes to enhanced work/life balance, with plenty of time for family and rest.Presented By: Dr. Carole Sargent, Georgetown University

Best Practices for Student Conduct at Catholic Colleges and Universities Hariri 230Catholic colleges and universities across the globe have a unique responsibility to provide educational developmental services and intervention strategies for students who violate their community expectations while, at the same time, maintaining their institution’s core values, which guide their existence in the field of higher education. By participating in this program, attendees will be better equipped to: a) discover innovative methods of applying best practices in a principled-based environment; b) operate a student conduct office with limited staffing, funding, and other resources; c) shift from a punitive-based adjudication to a practice reflective of restorative student learning outcomes.Presented By: Omar Estrada Torres, The Catholic University of America

Building Upper Class Communities with Intentionality Hariri 155 We will explore how intentional living learning communities can be utilized within upper class area living. As the needs of upper class students differ than other students, principles and theory affect the structure of the communities. Grounded from the College of Saint Benedict Residential Curriculum, students participating in intentional living learning communities enhance knowledge of the Benedictine Values as well as enhance community living skills.Presented By: Tara Nelson, College of Saint Benedict

Catholic Culture Competency Areas for Student Affairs Practitioners Hariri 130This program seeks to engage Catholic student affairs professionals in further dialogue and discussion on how we can best serve student learning and formation within the unique context of our Catholic colleges and universities. Drawing from both the Principles of Good Practice for Student Affairs at Catholic Colleges and Universities (2007) and the ACPA/NASPA Professional Competency Areas for Student Affairs Practitioners (2010) document, we devised a competency document for student affairs practitioners at Catholic colleges and universities.Presented By: Dr. Joseph Wurtz, Benedictine College, Dr. Jesse Dorman, Christendom College, & David Schmiesing, Franciscan University

Confronting the Past to Inform the Future: Has Dr. King's Dream Been Realized? Hariri 160 On August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stood not far from the campuses of Georgetown University and Catholic University and talked about his dream for American society. Unfortunately, nearly fifty years later, we have to ask ourselves the difficult question: Has Dr. King’s vision been fulfilled? More to the point, has Dr. King’s dream of meaningful integration been realized in our institutions of Catholic higher education? Using Villanova University as a case study, this session will explore how Catholic colleges and universities have engaged race historically and will analyze the implications of this for present day discussions of race on campus. Drawing on oral history and archival research, this session will examine how Villanova University’s embrace of racial integration did not necessarily match the lived experiences of its African American students. The session will conclude with a discussion on how Catholic colleges and universities can utilize the knowledge of their past to make their campuses more welcoming and inclusive in the future.Presented By: Thomas Mogan, Villanova University

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Catholicism (but were afraid to ask) Hariri 150A follow-up to Catholicism 101 (Program Session Grey), this session will be devoted entirely to questions and answers about the Catholic tradition. Ideally, participants would have attended the earlier Catholicism 101 session. Presented By: Fr. Dennis Tamburello, Siena College

Fueling the Spirit: Promoting Staff Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Wellness in Residence LifeHariri 240Residence Life professional staff are consistently trying to find ways to keep their staffs motivated, charged and well. As Catholic institutions, we have the ability to use faith and traditional wellness techniques to promote staff wellness. In this session/round table, participants will be learn about physical and spiritual wellness strategies used at The Catholic University of America and have opportunities to share strategies that they employ at their institutions.Presented By: Rob Hengesbach & Stephanie Davey, The Catholic University of America

Orientation Extended: Opening Doors in the First Six Weeks Hariri 340The Orientation Extended program at The Catholic University of America is a continuation of our fall Orientation into the first six weeks of the semester. Come learn about the program, its history, how it has grown over the past four years, and its impact on retention. We will also discuss strategies for implementing this type of program on your campus.Presented By: Adriana Lincoln, The Catholic University of America

Roses, Royals, & Gentlemen, Oh My!: Exploring Hall Identities Hariri 350A recent decision to implement single sex housing brought many questions of apprehension across the campus community. However Resident Assistants saw this as an opportunity to enhance their community and created hall “identities” that coincide with core principles and values rooted in the Catholic tradition. This presentation will explain the creation of the identities, how they became brands, the balance of single sex halls and gender stereotyping, and the successes/pitfalls of the program. Using this example we will explore adapting this model to other institutions as well as coed housing.Presented By: Nicole Giglia, The Catholic University of America

TRADITION! TRADITION! Creating And Continuing Traditions at Catholic Universities Hariri 250Every university has traditions that mold and shape the experiences of its students. In this roundtable discussion, we will explore ways to create new traditions and address methods to revitalize campus spirit. Wherever your university is on the spectrum of tradition and spirit initiatives, we invite you to come and share your thoughts and brainstorm new ideas with us.Presented By: Chris Hodes & Amy Kerr, The Catholic University of America

Clear & Convincing vs. More Likely than Not: Changing the Burden of Proof on Campus…It’s All in the Details Hariri 240In January of 2013, after a strong, well-organized student campaign, Georgetown University became one of a few campuses to change its Student Code of Conduct burden of proof from “More Likely than Not” to “Clear and Convincing.” Using a case study approach, participants will learn about the factors that led to this decision, the considerations made in implementing the change and how the burden of proof modification impacted the way cases are resolved.Presented By: Judy Johnson & Ed Gilhool, Georgetown University

Creating a New Future for First Year Residential Experience Hariri 350The College of Saint Benedict faced the challenge to redesign the First Year Residential Experience. The programming model needed implementation of the new Residential Curriculum, inclusion of “Bennie” initiatives, integration of Benedictine Values, as well as consideration of first year student needs while simultaneously allotting responsibility and creativity to the student staff. We will discuss what we have learned, our successes and challenges. We will provide time for reflection and dialogue for new ideas to reinvigorate your own programming model. Presented By: Kyleen Ammerman & Ann Monson, College of Saint Benedict

Heartbeat of the Campus: Presence, Dialogue and Witness of Ministers in Residence Hariri 155“Celebrating Our Future Together” is dependent upon us mentoring our student leaders to honor the past, celebrate the present and embrace the future through collaborative service learning with educational, residential and athletic programs.

Ignatian Principles & Challenging Case Studies - Making Our Mission Meaningful Hariri 250The Ignatian Charism shapes the work of the U.S. Jesuit universities in a particular way, and offers us helpful lenses to look at our work and our decisions. This approach to living out our Catholic and Jesuit mission has relevance to all Catholic institutions. Concepts from Ignatian spirituality and pedagogy will be discussed, and applied to challenging case studies involving our work with students, with staff in Student Affairs, and with our colleagues across campus. This interactive program will invite participants to engage with these case studies using the principles discussed.

Magis: Practicing Better in a Universe that Settles for Best Hariri 230The goal of this session is to provide a model that will enhance students life and learning in Catholic higher education. In economies seeking "best practices" the anchor of aspiration, Magis, tells us a great deal about mission oriented ambition. At the end of this presentation and discussion, participants will: know the advantages and challenges mission based higher education will face in a rapidly changing sector, identify processes and outcomes that communicate the mission for faculty, staff, students, and concerned constituents, understand the ways economic and technology forces will compete with the Catholic higher education mission or can prompt innovative responses, and develop tools to manage morale.Presented By: Bette Jacobs, Georgetown University

Supervision: Celebrating the Joys & Challenges Together Hariri 150Being a supervisor can be the most professionally rewarding experience, but also at times the most challenging part of our careers. Through the use of cartoon characters participants will engage in an interactive exercise to enhance practical supervisory techniques and share best practices. Come to this program and meet Samantha Slacker, Alex Attitude, Negativity Nancy, and all their friends.Presented By: Dr. Lynn Ortale, Chestnut Hill College

Welcoming All: Contemporary Challenges for Creating Inclusive Campus Environments In Catholic Higher Education Hariri 160How do we hold the tension inherent in our call to “welcome all students into a vibrant campus community that celebrates God’s love for all” while also grounding campus “policies, practices and decisions in teachings and living tradition of the Church,” especially related to students whose identity is in conflict with the majority or with Catholicism? Participants in this case study session will explore strategies for strengthening inclusive dialogue and co-curricular learning activities through dialogue launched by an experiential activity highlighting contemporary tensions. Because of the confidential and sensitive nature of the opening activity, it is vital for participants to be on time and stay for the duration of the session.Presented By: Laura Goble & Kristina Houck, University of Portland
