Student Affairs

Here in the Division of Student Affairs we offer opportunities for professional/personal development for our staff and graduate students. We are focusing on three themes:

• Taste of Dialogue: This coming spring will feature a series of "Taste of Dialogue" events, in partnership with the Office of Community-Engaged Leadership's Sustained Dialogue initiative. These Taste of Dialogue events will begin with a brief educational speaker or video, and then transition to structured small-group dialogue, over provided lunch. We hope to see you all there. If you have completed Sustained Dialogue moderator training and are interested in serving as a moderator at any of these events, please reach out to Cori Ferguson, Graduate Assistant for Inclusion and Engagement in the Office of Community-Engaged Leadership.
• Technology Workshops: These workshops range from training on our Canopy CMS to social media. They will increase your knowledge around differnt components of technology. Electronic Student Services (ESS) will be presenting/facilitating these sessions. ESS is comprised of a team of web experts that provide a variety of services for offices within our Division.
• Staff Wellbeing: These opportunities help to develop space for staff to engage in wellness opportunities that can help with relationship/community building in the Division. They also create a series of social and team-building opportunities during and after work hours for SA staff to gather. Staff Wellbeing will also include topics that will increase the knowledge of certain topics related to higher education and Appalachian State University.

We encourage you to take advantage of these workshops and discussions. Rooms and times (if not listed) will be updated. Also, this page will be updated on a regular basis to add additonal experiences. Below you will find the Spring 2022 schedule. Mark your calendars NOW!
