More Info:

The evolution of one’s career path is both intentional and spontaneous. This year-long development opportunity is an attempt to provide intentional help and support so that the pool of tremendously talented professionals in our region are prepared when opportunities present themselves. If you are or know a professional who is ready to explore his or her career in both reflective and strategic ways, please consider applying for this opportunity.

This series will begin with a pre-conference session where participants have a chance to connect and think strategically about where the journey will take them. Following that first session, additional interactions will be planned using different technologies to maintain a connection between the cohort and the faculty involved. The Mid-Level Manager in Student Affairs will be the text used though out the year and will be provided as a part of the registration fee.

Topics include: (but are not limited to)
PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY professionalism, ethics, supervision
CAREER NAVIGATION politics, communication, campus culture, diversity
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT building a professional network, PhD or not, breadth of experience

The series will continue and conclude at the fall 2010 NASAP IV-East conference as the first cohort finishes and welcomes in a new group for the following year. A limit of 20 spots is available. POSTPONED
