Abstract:

Presenter:

Appreciative Advising, developed by Jennifer L. Bloom, is a 6-step process for advising students that uses positive, open-ended questions to encourage advisees to reach their full potential. From the way you set up your office to the student plans you encourage, Appreciative Advising provides a framework for helping students achieve their goals. This presentation will introduce the basic concepts of Appreciative Advising, allowing participants to discuss ways they may incorporate the techniques.

APPRECIATIVE

ADVISING


Abstract:

Presenter:

This session will focus on parsing the notion of ‘success or failure’ along with creation of actionable ideas. Our interactions with students create valuable opportunities that significantly impact students’ work and life at Penn. Often, students, simultaneously voice concerns of success and failure; celebration and unease. Using three groups of considerations, the presentation will help us deconstruct underlying issues, and further, enable us to guide students towards constructive orientations:

•Cultural Sensitivities Attached to Success and Failure

•The Relative Scale of Success and Failure

•Debunking the Myth of ‘Imposter Syndrome’

•The Particularities of STEM majors & subjects

As the number of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or Asperger’s Syndrome/Disorder increases, the presence of students on the spectrum also grows on our nation’s college campuses. From the perspective of a residential/student affairs professional, as well as a grandparent raising a college-age ASD student, this program will utilize research findings and personal experience to discuss this ever-growing phenomenon and how we, as residential/student affairs professionals can address the needs of this particular student population, while also alleviating the concerns of caregivers.

Intersectionality is a name for conflicts and experiences shaped by the complicated interactions where race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, ethnicity, family of origin or other forms of difference overlap and intersect, both in everyday life for individuals and for institutions. This SALT presentation will define intersectionality and ask participants to consider how our multidimensional identities impact our experience on campus in our interactions with colleagues, students and the broader Penn structure. Participants will engage in an interactive exercise and brainstorm ways that thinking about intersectionality could help improve their own sphere of influence on campus.

Adequate sleep is absolutely essential for academic success. Unfortunately, sleep disorders and resulting deprivation are very common in the college-age population. This talk will discuss why we need sleep, why most of our students aren’t getting enough of it and how to make changes to support better sleep. Having a basic understanding of sleep issues in our population will help us support healthier student lifestyles.

The Penn Compact 2020 includes as one of its three goals “increasing access.” Increasing access in part means reaching out to, serving, and graduating first-generation students. In this talk, we describe a pilot project—the Mayor’s Scholars Program—that aims to better understand the unique challenges faced by first-generation students here at Penn. Data is drawn from student surveys, focus groups, and one-year of implementation of the Mayor’s Scholars Program.
