Program Session One
10 Myths of Social Jus5ce
Vernon Wall, Director for Business Development at LeaderShape, Inc.
Room: 270
The term “social jus.ce” is being used (and misused) on college and university
campuses more and more these days. What exactly is social jus.ce? What is a socially
just community? What are the characteris.cs of a campus community commi<ed to
social jus.ce? In this program, the 10 myths of social jus.ce will be shared as well as
an assessment that can be used to measure your campus’ commitment to inclusion,
equity and social jus.ce.
Goucher College’s Peer Media5on Service: Conflicts, Conundrums, and
‘ccomplishments!
Kasey Quinn, Community Living Coordinator, Goucher College
Mary Wahl, Community Living Coordinator, Goucher College
Room: 272
When engaging conflict, it is no easy feat to honor self-determina.on and find
collabora.ve win-win solu.ons for everyone involved. Launching a peer media.on
service at a small college with limited resources is even more challenging although the
rewards are highly restora.ve and extremely worthwhile. Community Living
Coordinators Mary Wahl and Kasey Quinn will examine the conflicts, conundrums, and
accomplishments of ins.tu.onalizing a peer media.on service at Goucher College.
Design and Implementa5on of a Tabletop Ac5vity as a Student Staff Training Tool
Mary Ellen Wade, Assistant Director of Student Life, Loyola University Maryland
Room: 330
We are charged to keep student staff engaged and able to retain informa.on during
training to prepare them for their posi.ons. In Fall 2012, Loyola u.lized a tabletop
ac.vity as a method of teaching Resident Assistants about conflict coaching and
managing student and staff crisis. This program highlights how to effec.vely design and
implement a tabletop ac.vity as a method of team problem solving.
The Secrets of Ge;ng Hired for a Job
David Clurman, Assistant Director of Residen.al Educa.on, University of Maryland,
Bal.more County
Room: 269
Searching for a job can be a very overwhelming and .me consuming process. It o=en
may seem as if you apply for mul.ple posi.ons and then keep your fingers crossed to
see what happens. Specially designed for graduate and entry-level staff, this session
is presented by a seasoned recruiter who will share his knowledge and tell you all the
things that you should do (as well as the things that you shouldn't) that will help you
stand out in your next job search!

Program Session Two
iPad Uses, Apps & the Power of X(cel)
Karol Y. Mar.nez, Director of Student Ac.vi.es, MICA
Room: 269
iPads can be a great resource in student affairs—everything from event check-in to
assessing student learning outcomes. The purpose of this session is to share uses for
iPads and helpful apps in the context of student affairs. In addi.on, it will also create
an open forum for a<endees to share their own recommenda.ons of iPad uses/apps.
Lastly, this session will also review other useful tools, such as the use of Pivot Tables
in Excel to help with assessment analysis.
Let Your Voice Be Heard: Building Community Through Sharing Stories
Hayley Haywood, Assistant Director of Student Ac.vi.es, MICA
Room: 330
This session will highlight pedagogies and programs that enable students to learn from
one another’s experiences. Monologue programs, digital storytelling, and poems can
be transforma.ve tools for student learning with regard to diversity, intersec.onality
and self-reflec.on. Come hear about how these programs have promoted
mul.culturalism, cri.cal thinking and enhanced the community on mul.ple college
campuses.

Branch out from the survey, and increase your familiarity with planning and imple-
men.ng focus groups. Par.cipants will gain an understanding of the basic compo-
nents of a focus group as well as best prac.ces for encouraging and dissemina.ng rich
qualita.ve data. Par.cipants will also engage in a live focus group based on the chal-
lenges of working in student affairs.
Appoin5ng myself: Star5ng a Revolu5on From the Bo�om to Increase Comple5on
Johnika Dreher, Coordinator, Owl Success Track, Prince George's Community College
Brandon Bellamy, Academic Advising, Prince George's Community College
Room: 272
To combat the reten.on issues of our ins.tu.ons, individuals from every level will
need to play a role in the change. To change the culture of success and comple.on at
Prince George’s Community College, one Coordinator engaged in coali.on building
across campus. This workshop will incorporate diverse learning methods to share how
one program was used to build a transfer development plan from the bo<om up

Program Session Three
Oil and Water: Shaking Up Work Life Balance
Aaron Roppolo, Fitness Director, MICA
Room: 270
Challenging the norms of work life balance, this presenta.on seeks to shake up your
way of thinking about healthy habits. We will together dismiss the no.on that health
and work cannot mix through discussion, research and demonstra.on and explore
strategies to successfully implement a more balanced lifestyle.
New Kids on the Block
Karol Y. Mar.nez, Director of Student Ac.vi.es, MICA
Room: 272
Star.ng a new job and moving to a new city can be a very exci.ng .me in a person’s
life. On the flip side, being the new kid on the block comes with the added stress of
figuring out a new support network. Mee.ng new people and developing meaningful
rela.onships may not always be easy. This session, which includes a panel of new and
experienced professionals, will share some strategies of how to build that support
network.
Intersec5ng Parallel Iden55es: How Paren5ng Toddlers and Supervising Overlap
Dell Hagan Rhodes, Director of Student Life
The Community College of Bal.more County
Room: 302
We all carry mul.ple iden.ty markers, whether that be as an educator, a parent, a
partner, a friend, etc. O=en, the intersec.on of our iden..es causes conflict as
different pieces of who we are struggle for primacy. For me, this peaked a=er I start-
ed a new job supervising a college-wide department and became a mother at the
same .me. Thankfully, a=er devouring paren.ng books, I came to the realiza.on
that many of the skills I was trying out as a parent, were perfect for my supervising
challenges as well. Come hear my story and let me learn from yours, too.
Mee5ng the Needs of Campus: Programming Assessment Using ID Scanners
Samuel Frushour, Ac.vi.es Management Program Student Leader
Mount St. Mary's University
Room: 330
Quality control measurements are in place to make sure each office is mee.ng the
needs of campus. These measurements, however, lack any argumenta.ve data to be
used for budget enhancements, promo.ons, or as a developmental tool for the office
to learn the actual needs of students. By implemen.ng an ID scanner system into our
events, Mount St. Mary’s University Campus Ac.vi.es can now track par.cipant re-
ten.on, correla.ons to policy viola.ons, demographic data of par.cipants at each
event, and much more.

Program Session Four
It’s All in the Smile: Crea5ng Customer Service Moments
Edward Wright, Associate Director of Admissions, Mount St. Mary's University
Jeffrey Griffith, Joanna Hale, Melissa Hilleary, Ma<hew Mastroma<eo
Mount Ambassador Coordinators Mount St. Mary's University
Room: 269
We have interac.ons with people at many different levels. Regardless of whether the
situa.ons we encounter are full of excitement or frustra.on, the people involved are
the customers of our profession. This presenta.on will provide simple strategies on
incorpora.ng the basics of customer service and how using such strategies can turn
any situa.on into a posi.ve experience.
Understanding Student Conduct through a Cri5cal Framework
Daviree Velazquez , Assistant Director of Student Life, Loyola University Maryland
Alexis Phipps, Assistant Director of Student Life, Loyola University Maryland
Room: 272
When students arrive to college, they face many crossroads and develop in mul.ple
ways. Educa.onal theorists and psychologists created tools to help educators under-
stand how students undergo transi.ons and make meaning of their experiences
(Adams, Bell, & Griffin, 2007). This body of theory failed to illuminate the inequali.es
of social status or social posi.on, differences in cultural contexts, and the ways in
which oppression shape students’ experiences. We do a disservice by neglec.ng the
fact that students’ iden..es, as well as our own iden..es, are present in the conduct
process. In this presenta.on, we will use a cri.cal framework to iden.fy how iden.-
.es and a systemic culture of oppression and bias affect the conduct process.
Cupcakes and the College Search: Revamping Your Focus Groups
Michelle O'Donnell, Associate Director of Admissions, Mount St. Mary's University
Murphy Alafoginis, Admissions Counselor, Mount St. Mary's University
Room: 302
S.ll ordering pizza to try to get students to your focus group? Looking for a new and
crea.ve strategy? Come to this session to learn how Mount St. Mary’s University took
a new approach to focus groups. You’ll learn how three members of the Admissions
staff gathered nearly 450 responses in just 3 days with improved data collec.on efforts
and one sweet surprise.
Engaging Students with Servant Leadership
Brian Beccue, Associate Director of Residence Life for Student Conduct, Mount St.
Mary's University
Kate Wyvill, Mount St. Mary's University
Room: 330
This session will provide an overview of the Servant Leadership theory and then fur-
ther explore the aspects of Servant Leadership and how it relates to Student Affairs
work. The primary goal of this program will be to set a framework for Student Affairs
Professionals to educate their students on the Servant Leadership theory and to help
them prac.ce it on a daily basis.
