Student Life Spotlight 2025 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.

Join this spotlight session to learn about staff takeaways from the “Student Veterans: The Power of Peer Support” session from this year’s Mental Health on College Campuses Conference. Presenters will discuss their experiences attending this panel session and what they learned about the Peer Advisors for Veteran Education (PAVE) Program, in addition to some of the unique strengths and challenges faced by military and military-affiliated students. Presenters will share personal accounts related to this topic and how those, paired with the education and awareness gained from recently attended sessions, inform their work in supporting Housing students. The presentation will also include established resources on campus for students who are veterans or are affiliated with the military, highlighting the community-building and advocacy efforts taking place here at the University of Michigan.
