Comment on So You Want to Be a Vice President of Student Affairs (Guest Post by Dr. Linda D. Koch, D.Ed.) by studentlifeguru

Thanks for your comment! SA pros come in all shapes and sizes in respect to professional backgrounds and experience. A degree in organizational communication is one of those “related fields” that would fit nicely into student affairs (organizational development and industrial pyschology are also appropriate fields). I’d be interested in learning more about how you’ve been able to apply your degree experience and what you’ve learned to your work.

Being one of those SA pros w/o a Student Affairs dregee, I have to say it wouldn’t be the end of the world. Sure, there are times when I wish I would have taken a counseling course or two, but my one student development theory course combined with my experience as a GA in activities allowed me to move into my first job as facilities coordinator where I then learned the Ops side of the house. With an MA in Organizational Communication, I feel well-prepared to navigate management and work with all kinds of people. Great post, Jeff.

Thanks Jeff! You make an interesting point here. Your suggestion is also great for getting more “buy-in” from team members to participate in the process and being more active in their own learning. Unfortunately many student affairs folks do not have an instructional design background, but should take note of your suggestion and attempt to engage their staffers and team members in a more “organic” and “engagement-oriented” fashion. As I once heard, people take a part in what they help to create.

Shift you focus from “training” to facilitation. Here is where dialogue and content move from lecture-based-must-knows to co-creation and engagement. To do this you must be clear in you objectives, as to facilitate the conversation towards your intended outcomes.

This is very interesting. These are all very great ideas, I shared this with a colleague of mine named Mike who has a blog over at http://www.create-learning.com (or @teambuildingny) with similar thoughts and themes as far as creating community. Keep writing and I look forward to learning with you!
