Becoming Socialized in Student Affairs Administration
Author: Ashley TullPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000979334
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
Effective socialization of new student affairs professionals is essential—both for the individual success of these practitioners, and for the work of a college or university that promotes student learning. It enables new professionals to manage the important personal and professional transitions they experience throughout their careers, engage in continuous professional development, and achieve high levels of productivity. It also counteracts the high attrition rate among new hires, with all the attendant costs to the institution in terms of resources spent on recruiting, hiring, training, supervising, and developing staff talent.The socialization process for new professionals includes formal and informal elements that influence both success and quality of work life. This process is far more complex than a single orientation program organized by a unit or division. Rather, it is a comprehensive process where both the new professional and organization learn about and from each other in ways that influence working relationships and individual and organizational outcomes.Part I of this book defines the concept, explains its value, and offers a model of socialization. Part II examines the institutional context in which the socialization of new professionals occurs, and describes how different institutional types influence the socialization process. It considers the changing characteristics of college students, and how these impact the work of student affairs.In addressing the extra-institutional and professional contexts, Part III considers the role that graduate education plays in preparing new professionals for work in student affairs, and offers guidance to faculty and practitioners involved in graduate education about what they can do to introduce graduate students to professional life. It addresses the importance of professional orientation activities, the roles of supervision and mentorship, as well as the impact of peers and institutions on the socialization process. It concludes with a discussion of the role and importance of professional associations.This book is intended for graduate program faculty, for senior student affairs officers concerned about developing and retaining the new staff, and for administrators and leaders in student affairs shaping the future of the profession. For new professionals themselves it offers insights on the path to professionalization.

The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and MedicinePublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309497299
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
Mentorship is a catalyst capable of unleashing one's potential for discovery, curiosity, and participation in STEMM and subsequently improving the training environment in which that STEMM potential is fostered. Mentoring relationships provide developmental spaces in which students' STEMM skills are honed and pathways into STEMM fields can be discovered. Because mentorship can be so influential in shaping the future STEMM workforce, its occurrence should not be left to chance or idiosyncratic implementation. There is a gap between what we know about effective mentoring and how it is practiced in higher education. The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM studies mentoring programs and practices at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It explores the importance of mentorship, the science of mentoring relationships, mentorship of underrepresented students in STEMM, mentorship structures and behaviors, and institutional cultures that support mentorship. This report and its complementary interactive guide present insights on effective programs and practices that can be adopted and adapted by institutions, departments, and individual faculty members.

Book Description
The purpose of the study is to describe the mentoring experiences of women in the student affairs profession by examining the role of mentoring in the resolution of career roadblocks and by describing the functions and impacts of mentors as well as the benefits and drawbacks to the mentoring relationship. Six respondents were interviewed, all of whom are the senior student affairs administrator at small private liberal arts institutions in the state of Iowa. Results indicated that the typical mentoring relationship experienced by women in student affairs is a relationship which has informally evolved from the supervisor/employee relationship, with both participants having a mutual desire for the mentoring to occur. Themes identified in the study are relationship responsibility and development, mentor selection criteria, mentor involvement in career roadblock resolution, functions and impacts of mentors, and benefits and drawbacks to the mentoring relationship. Suggestions for future research and brief scenarios illustrating mentoring relationship characteristics are also included.

Book Description
This qualitative research study explored the perceptions of student affairs administrators at a Midwest institution, and how they perceived their mentoring relationships with undergraduate students. The study investigated the perceptions of six participants as they reflected on past and present mentoring relationships, and the impact the relationships had on them during their time in student affairs. The literature review discusses the history of student affairs and mentoring, as well as the mentoring styles, benefits, and theories closely related to the concept of mentoring. Through conducting a semi-structured interview with each participant, four themes emerged as they described the participants as mentors: relationship builders, professional contacts, encouragers, and self-reflectors. The four themes supported and added to the mentoring literature. In addition, the study helped create ways on how student affairs administrators can be mentors to undergraduate students. It challenges administrators to engage in professional development opportunities and become engaged in areas where students are most present. Implications and future recommendations for research were introduced. In conclusion, it is apparent that the participants involved in this study truly want to make a difference in the lives of their students.

What Contributes to Job Satisfaction Among Faculty and Staff

Pages : 0
Book Description
In recent years, the attention of college trustees and administrators as well as the general public has turned largely to increasing positive student outcomes and cost effectiveness, while the satisfaction of faculty and staff has been viewed as a significantly lesser concern. This volume argues that positive outcomes for the entire campus can only be achieved within an environment that considers the satisfaction of all of those employed in the academy. The contributors examine various jobs within the campus community-including classified staff and student affairs administrators as well as faculty-and suggest factors that will promote job satisfaction and thereby foster other positive outcomes. They review, for example, the positive relationship between sabbatical leave and the development and satisfaction of faculty. They also explore the role of the faculty union in the satisfaction of community college faculty, the unique challenges to achieving satisfaction that face women faculty members and faculty of color, and other key issues.
