Student Life Conference Spotlights View Other Sessions

From the Association for Talent Development, the leading organization for all things learning and development, join us as we unpack learnings from corporate, non-profit, and higher ed leaders as they navigate the employee experience. Specifically, learn about 10 brain boosters to prevent boring learning, how we can develop accountable employees, a simple but effective strategy in onboarding to accelerate belonging and drive results and much more! 

The overall results from the 2023 MHealthy questionnaire will be presented. Additional health and wellness results will be reviewed with a special focus on social determinants of health and mental and emotional health. The presentation will inform the student life staff division priorities of: 1) Health and Well-being with a focus on Policies, Systems, and Structures, 2) DEI 2.0, embed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the core of our People, Processes, and Product and 3) Enhance Staff Recruitment and Retention efforts. 

Change constantly seems to choose us, and rarely at the most convenient time! Whether personally or professionally, individually or collectively, we all experience change. How do we take ownership of this phenomenon and leverage it to our benefit? This session is based on Kotter's 8 Step Process for Leading Change and was facilitated at a national conference in 2024 by Mr. Sheldon Tate, Executive Director of Recreation at George Mason University. Attendees will learn four steps to successful change, and have time throughout the session to plan for a transition in their work or home lives. Please attend, and leave not just better prepared to engage in change effectively, but also better equipped to guide others along the way.
