Not a Moment Too Soon: Practical Approaches to Reclaiming the (Seemingly) Lost Art of Constructive Dialogue - April 18, 2024 - How do we help students learn and develop skills to bridge the gap of ideological stalemates? Along with fostering campus environments that support free expression AND students’ sense of belonging, this question of practical approaches to skill-building is heavily on our minds as we move steadily toward what is shaping up to be another contentious election season. Join us for this VPSA & AVP Colleague Conversation as leaders in our field share how they are translating lessons from NASPA’s collaboration with the Constructive Dialogue Institute for their campuses. Presenters will share models for classroom and co-curricular implementation that teach skills and shape culture for students, faculty and staff.

Envisioning and Leading the Future of Student Affairs in an AI-enhanced Educational Landscape - February 15, 2024 -This timely conversation will delve into the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the landscape of higher education, particularly in enhancing student affairs programs and services. This conversation will explore compelling real-world scenarios, strategies for guiding staff teams through the AI adoption process, and cultivating an AI-savvy culture. We will also examine the ethical dimensions of AI, including addressing data privacy concerns, confronting the challenges of algorithmic bias, and acknowledging the moral responsibilities involved in implementing AI on campus. This conversation is designed to empower leaders, equipping them with some of the necessary tools and knowledge to harness the extraordinary potential of AI in their roles as institutional leaders.

Free Speech on Campus: What Are the Costs and Who Pays the Bill? - January 18, 2024 - Institutions of higher learning in the United States have traditionally been places where divergent views are not just tolerated but encouraged. The free and open expression of ideas is an important part of higher education’s foundation. However, there are moments when tensions, indeed conflicts, arise related to free speech. This tension could not be more visible than it is today as campuses (and their administrators) are embroiled in the profound disruption at many institutions stemming from the divergent perspectives related to the Israel-Hamas War. During this special VPSA & AVP Colleague Conversation, we’ll hear in a panel discussion format from three experts their observations and best advice regarding how institutional leaders can effectively, albeit imperfectly, manage the complexities and related costs of free speech on campus.

Navigating the Political Landscape: Challenges and Opportunities for Student Affairs Leaders - November 16, 2023 - In an era defined by constantly shifting political dynamics, we are confronted with a distinct set of challenges in preparing our campuses for the approaching election cycle. This discussion aims to delve into the multifaceted issues we confront and offer insights on harnessing opportunities to facilitate positive change. This includes enhancing our campus initiatives to encourage constructive and civil discourse, effectively managing election-related events and activities, and promoting inclusivity in the midst of political disagreements. Attendees will have the chance to learn from colleagues who have successfully navigated the challenges of the previous election cycle, particularly in states characterized by intense political divisions.

Coloring Inside the Lines: Exploring Approaches to Student Diversity and Inclusion - October 19, 2023 - In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision banning overt considerations of race and ethnicity in the admissions process, many student affairs leaders are wondering how to continue the work of advancing diversity, equity and inclusion goals while staying inside the new legal boundaries. We have a lot to learn from colleagues in the nine states that had already banned racial preferences. In this session we will hear from colleagues who have experience navigating these waters. They will share what they learned, how they worked through new guidelines, and what advice they would give themselves if they had to do it all again.

Mindful Maneuvers: Navigating Responsibilities for DEIB in Today's Fraught Landscape - May 18, 2023 - This conversation explored how we continue to provide needed support to students with marginalized identities, lead our campuses through the tensions between free expression and cultures of belonging, and respond in an era of continual political intrusion and influence. This session also explored the tensions and conflicts that can arise when student affairs and DEIB are structurally separated as well as the synergies that can be gained.

Mindful Maneuvers: Navigating the Student Success Paradigm at Your Institution - April 20, 2023 - This conversation explored the emergence of student success as a paradigm aimed at supporting students more holistically and how student affairs must remain agile and explore ways to navigate and maneuver their connections and expertise about how to serve students.
