today was my first opportunity to attend a large-scale student affairs event like this. there was a keynote speaker, program sessions, & a graduate fair. pretty typical conference format right? but it was so much more than that. i went in thirsting for knowledge & every single moment was a learning experience. i feel like today just made everything that much more real. there is a very real network of organizations & people out there passionate about dedicating their lives to the student experience. i am so inspired to work hard so that i can be a significant contribution to this field one day.
Highlights...
- Keynote Speaker: Dr. Anthony Ross
- Student Affairs 101 Session
- Verifiable Contributions to Student Learning and Development Session
- Reflections on Master's Programs in Student Affairs Panel
- Professionals of Color Panel
- && crazy first hand experiences of the Student Affairs field being a very small world indeed! :)
