SUMMARY:Webinar: Utilizing Attendance Data to Assess the Impact of Programs and Services on Student Success
DESCRIPTION:As student affairs professionals\, we know that the work we do has an impact on student success but it is increasingly important to be able to show the connection in order to garner support for our programs and services. The Iowa State University Memorial Union has made a concerted effort over the past three years to collect attendance data for as many of our programs and services as possible. We have then utilized that data to conduct an assessment of our programs and services to understand who we are serving\, how students are interacting with our programs and services\, and what impacts we are having on student success including retention\, sense of belonging\, and other important markers. In addition to this overarching assessment project\, we have taken some deeper dives into specific programs or program areas. This session will give an overview of our process and findings as well as provide a forum for attendees to consider how they might utilize similar methods on their campuses.   \n\n\n\nview archived program\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters\n\n\n\n\nKristine Heflin is the associate director for student engagement at the Iowa State University Memorial Union.

We will cover how to navigate workplace politics and how a professional workplace may or may not be different from an undergraduate position. A large part of this is examining the culture of the workplace and adapting to different situations that you will encounter\, including a potentially more diverse student population and recognizing different supervising styles. \n\n\n\nSaniya Myers – Montclair State UniversityWait…I’m the Boss Now? \n\n\n\nStepping into a supervisor role especially when you’re leading former peers can feel awkward\, confusing\, and a little overwhelming. This session explores how to navigate that transition with confidence.

GreeneLeading With My Camera \n\n\n\nPhotography has many rules and those rules have taught me a lot about leadership development. This workshop walks the participants through rules for the most common artistic expression\, photography\, and maps them onto leadership philosophy. \n\n\n\nTim MooreManaging Up: Building Strategic Relationships for Growth \n\n\n\n“Managing up is the skill of strategically navigating relationships with those in higher positions—bosses\, project leads\, and even skip-level managers. It is not about “”sucking up\,”” but about positioning yourself as a thought partner and trusted advisor. In complex organizations\, success depends as much on navigating relationships and power structures as it does on technical expertise. Managing up with integrity and strategy leads to career growth\, higher satisfaction\, and better day-to-day results. \n\n\n\n Many professionals struggle with managing up because traditional training focuses on technical skills\, not organizational dynamics. Additionally\, cultural norms may discourage questioning authority or engaging leaders as partners. To manage up effectively\, key conversations are essential. Alignment conversations ensure shared priorities and definitions of success. Skip-level conversations build broader support without alienating immediate supervisors. Understanding leadership styles allows for adapting communication\, while boundary setting demonstrates maturity and prevents burnout. Ownership conversations and visibility conversations help expand influence without seeming self-serving. Finally\, career advancement discussions\, begun early\, prepare the ground for future growth. \n\n\n\nStrategically\, managing up requires asking clarifying questions\, translating leadership styles into actionable steps\, advocating for promotions well ahead of time\, and framing contributions with a future-focused lens. Those who master these practices are better equipped to navigate complexity\, demonstrate leadership\, and unlock new opportunities throughout their careers.” \n\n\n\nMelissa Ulmer & Aleeyah Oliphant-JeanGRWM – From Ideal to Real: Managing Year 1 Expectations \n\n\n\nStarting graduate school is more than just classes and assistantships\, it’s the beginning of your professional journey. This session is designed specifically for first-year graduate students who are just beginning to navigate the complexities of a career in higher education. Together\, we’ll explore the realities behind those “ideal” first-year experiences and replace myths with meaningful strategies for success. Through candid conversations and shared lived experiences\, we’ll cover key topics such as managing expectations\, setting boundaries\, tackling tough situations\, and beginning to define what work-life balance really means for you. You’ll also start thinking about your non-negotiables and begin shaping your professional narrative—because the transition starts now\, not after graduation. \n\n\n\n\nSecond Year Track\nCasey ColemanBuilding A Case \n\n\n\nExplore how to amass a tool kit to help you be successful in the field. This interactive session will talk about key strategies geared towards grads entering their last year of their program. The major takeaway will be helping them learn how to build a solid foundation that can help them find success beyond graduate school. \n\n\n\nVinny JacksonHire Ground – The Job Search \n\n\n\nGraduation is around the corner—now what? This interactive session is designed to help second-year graduate students demystify the job search process. We’ll break down the essential steps to finding a job\, from identifying what you’re looking for to crafting a compelling resume\, building a professional network\, and preparing for interviews. Plus\, we’ll explore what employers are really looking for when hiring—from communication skills and adaptability to cultural fit and problem-solving. Walk away with a clearer path and practical strategies to turn your degree into a job offer. \n\n\n\nHayden M. GreeneLeading With My Camera \n\n\n\nPhotography has many rules and those rules have taught me a lot about leadership development. This workshop walks the participants through rules for the most common artistic expression\, photography\, and maps them onto leadership philosophy. \n\n\n\nAndrew RubasLeader-Member Exchange Theory: Meeting Students Where They Are \n\n\n\nEveryone brings different strengths and areas of growth to a team. Similarly\, each person has a different level of interest and commitment to organizations they are involved in. Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory is a way to provide students with opportunities to be more or less involved depending on how interested or engaged they are in an organization. This session will go in-depth on how to effectively gauge a student’s interest and commitment to an organization\, issues of equity\, and more in-depth discussion surrounding leadership theories and ways to best support students that we work with utilizing theory to ground our work. \n\n\n\nAlia ElbannaThe One Where You Get a Real Job: Navigating Life Post-GA \n\n\n\n“So no one told you post-grad life was gonna be this way? [Insert four claps here.] Whether you’re weeks away from wrapping up your graduate assistantship or already knee-deep in your first full-time role\, this session is your guide to navigating the transition from student life to full-time professional. \n\n\n\nWe’ll unpack the real-world shift from flexible class schedules to the 35-hour work week (or let’s be honest\, more like 50 plus weekends) higher-ed grind. Expect real talk on managing the job search\, building a new identity beyond “”the grad assistant\,”” and avoiding burnout in your first year on the job.A session filled with advice and honest reflections\, you’ll leave with tools to help you feel more prepared\, more confident\, and a little less like you’re making it up as you go (even if you still are — we all are).Whether you’re feeling like a Monica (hyper-organized)\, a Rachel (career curious)\, or a Joey (just here for the snacks)\, this session is for you.” \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nregIster Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegular (by June 20)\n\n\n\n\nProfessional Member: $30\n\n\n\nProfessional Nonmember: $40\n\n\n\nGraduate Student Member: $30\n\n\n\nGraduate Student Nonmember: $40\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLate (after June 20)\n\n\n\n\nProfessional Member: $35\n\n\n\nProfessional Nonmember: $40\n\n\n\nGraduate Student Member: $35\n\n\n\nGraduate Student Nonmember: $40\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTravel
