Professional Development

The Division of Student Affairs has a strong commitment to the professional development of our staff, as it is vital to the success of our mission.  Staff is provided with numerous opportunities to participate in various Division-wide programs each year from webinars and workshops to team-building exercises and nationally-recognized speakers. Professional development programs will fall under one or more of seven different knowledge areas:

1. Student Advising & Support
2. Teamwork, Mentorship & Interpersonal Skills
3. Leadership Competencies
4. Personal & Career Development
5. Productivity & Problem Solving  
6. Global Perspective & Worldviews
7. Digital Fluency & Assessment

Find out more information about these knowledge areas.

When appropriate, student workers and graduate assistants are invited to participate in these offerings. In addition to Division-wide initiatives, individual departments offer professional development opportunities and encourage participation in professional organizations.
