Framing Mental Health Support to Increase Flourishing: An Inclusive Strategy That Can Open Doors, Increase Engagement, and Boost Student Success

The mental health of college students is at an all-time low, but focusing on mental illness puts the responsibility for support largely on campus counseling centers.  Instead, this webinar will share research and programming ideas, grounded in a dual continua model of mental health, that focus on flourishing, and thus can involve a wider range of campus personnel, serve more students, and help facilitate an institutional culture of care.

Supervision Skills and Strategies: Developing Essential Skills for Successful Leaders in Student Affairs Today and in the Future

Equitable, fair, successful supervision greatly impacts the employee experience, a key indicator of employee satisfaction and retention. However, few SA staff receive formal supervision training.  As our multigenerational workforce grows and new professionals enter the field, mid-level administrators are critical in building supervision strategies to meet the needs of the evolving workforce, addressing existing gaps in our supervisory competencies. Presenters will share their supervision development work, provide resources, and share some best practices.

This webinar provides a pathway to culturally responsive approaches for understanding and addressing the impact of the First Amendment on college campuses that both guide administrators and empower students.

Did Someone Say Reparation? Utilizing Restorative Justice Practices to Navigate Conflict and Repair Harm

Conflict is an sure part of life. The best relationships undergo conflict. What happens when we, or students, have harmed those in close proximity to us? Our peers have a major impact on our daily lives. Conflict can impact almost every aspect of a team. However, we can use Restorative Justice to work through conflict in a peaceful/productive manner. Participants will engage in small group and paired discussions exploring their view of conflict and repairing harm. This session would be most useful those who supervise student/professional staff. 

Using Co-curricular Data to Predict and Enhance Student Success Metrics

Predictive modeling is a powerful tool to assist institutions in meeting strategic goals. Some of the most impactful experiences students engage in are often co-curricular and happen outside the classroom, yet many predictive models fail to account for these experiences. Webinar presenters will focus on attempts to include co-curricular aspects of the learning environment in predictive models and report on the institutional impact of such models.

Not Yours or Mine, but Ours: Reframing the Relationship Between Fraternity and Sorority Life and Conduct Offices

Fraternity and Sorority Life and the Office of Student Conduct should work as allies. However, a lack of cooperation and distance often replace the respect and shared responsibility that should be the cornerstone of their collaboration. In this session, the presenters will explore the barriers to effective collaboration and discuss how aligning a vision for accountability can transform how these offices work together to educate and support students. They will share practical processes, experiences, and solutions, offering a road map for implementing change on campus.

Embracing Neurodiversity in Higher Education – How You Can Shape a Future of Acceptance

“Neurodiversity” is both a biological and a cultural phenomenon. Learning about the culture of neurodiversity will widen your perspective for those whose brains function in ways different from the neurotypical mainstream. This strengths-based, positive approach will alter your view of "outside-the-box" thinkers. Learn how proper niche construction can mold the future for neurodivergent students and how you can provide a community of acceptance for your campus.

The Role & Overlap of Alcohol Prevention in Sexual Violence Prevention

With evidence highlighting that more than 90% of campus-based sexual assaults occur when one or both parties are under the influence of alcohol, it’s time we dismantle rape-myth narratives associated with alcohol-involved sexual assault. Embrace an opportunity for change by engaging with this #3for60 webinar hosted by NASPA’s 360 Proof and Culture of Respect Collective. You'll gain insights from researchers on the intersections of sexual violence and alcohol, brief environmental-level interventions, and cross-campus prevention approaches. Leave with tangible ideas around how to serve students on our campuses and partner within student affairs to address these topics.

Are You Ready for a Crisis? Crisis Communications Planning for Mid- to Senior-Level Student Affairs Professionals

When situations arise that threaten Student Affairs' ability to foster belonging, enrich learning, or ensure campus safety, your ability to communicate clearly and efficiently becomes crucial to protecting both people and the university's integrity. In this session, attendees will receive expert guidance on crafting a comprehensive communications strategy before a crisis occurs.

Proactive crisis communications planning is an essential part of a broader strategy for managing incidents within Student Affairs. Research on crisis communication plans from institutions like Purdue University, the University of California Office of the President, the University of Washington, and Youngstown State University shows the value of advanced preparation. These universities' plans allow them to act proactively, not reactively, during a crisis. Teaching mid- to senior-level Student Affairs professionals to adopt these frameworks—and integrate their own experiences—can greatly enhance their ability to coordinate effectively across departments during a crisis or other critical incident.
