Building You Up

Yesterday, I had the privilege of heading back to my alma mater to present to some of the SAGrads about social media and personal/professional branding. Now, I don’t really consider myself an “expert” in social media or even a leader in the #SAField. I’m still relatively new and just coming into my own as a #SAPro,

Chatting With the @ACPAPrez

As many of you know, the fabulous Kimberly White sat down with ACPA President and Master of Higher Education Administration and Doctorate of Education Program Director at New England College, Gavin Henning and had a great conversation with him on Google Hangout about his journey in Student Affairs and advice he has for graduate students and

Ponderings

I have to admit, and I’ve tweeted this, “in some ways legal issues in higher education reminds me of a minefield”…they are everywhere. Sometimes they are preventable, but many times

Monsters University

Since entering into the professional world, I’ve always tried to make my work enjoyable by infusing my personality into my work.

#SATechMI UnConference 2013

What an absolutely amazing day of conference-ing…well unconference-ing. Today I had the chance to attend the first ever #SATechMI UnConference, which was held at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Now, you might be wondering “What is an unconference???” Well, like you, until about 2 months ago, I had never heard of one
