Student Life Conference Spotlights View Other Sessions

Join us to hear from other colleagues who attended a conference, training, workshop, or institute this past year and want to share what they learned. Whether it is new skills, tools, or research, we hope to unpack all of the information we're bringing back to campus from our various development opportunities. These will be hosted in rounds of 45 minute breakout sessions, with a break from 12pm-1pm for attendees to grab lunch on your own.

This program is free for all Student Life Staff, and a $15 charge for non Student Life attendees.

This is not a formal conference event, but you can think of it more as a "Teachback" opportunity! Afterward for Student Life Staff, spend time mingling with colleagues at the Annual Student Life Celebration, 3pm-5pm in the Michigan Union.



Pivot! Cultivating Successful Change out of Unexpected Transitions

Wolverine Room, Michigan Union

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.
