The Once and Future Advisor: Reflections from a Career Shift #CSAM17

The Student Affairs Collective

When I started my undergraduate experience at Rowan University in 2004, I vividly remember seeing the orientation leaders dancing on stage. My mother whispered in my ears, “You should do this!” Two years later I was one of those upperclassman performing to new audiences of incoming students. I didn’t realize those experiences would greatly shape my change in career path from journalist to higher ed practitioner.

The Student Affairs Collective

As graduate programs in student affairs are less common in Canada, I came to the United States to learn more about higher education. In particular, I was interested in international education and the experience of international students. It only made sense to enroll in graduate school as an international student myself. I also thought it would open more doors as I consider a long term career in America.

To Get a Certification or Not to Get a Certification, That Is the Question #SACareer

The Student Affairs Collective

When it comes to career services, there is an alphabet soup of certifications that you can receive. So, how do you decide whether or not you need a certification, which one is right for you, and where to receive the certification from? I feel like these are all questions that were haunting me for the past couple years. These questions felt especially timely around annual evaluations when asked about future professional development opportunities or interests.

Is Your Dream Job the Only Option? #CSAM17

The Student Affairs Collective

During graduate school some students push themselves to experience multiple functional areas within students affairs. Others students complete their experience with more in-depth experience in one assistantship. Depending on the program and the opportunities that it provides, it can be difficult to get varied experiences. Still, many students still have a clear focus and “dream job” in mind when starting their master’s program.

The Student Affairs Collective

Similar to many of my student affairs colleagues, I was highly involved on-campus. I joined every student organization I was interested in and participated in any campus event that caught my eye.

Work-life Integration When Your “Extracurricular” Becomes Your Job #CSAM17

The Student Affairs Collective

Many #SApros join the profession because they were once involved leaders. For these individuals, what was once their “extracurricular” becomes their jobs. I remember attending my first regional careers in student affairs conference. The saying, “if you love your job, you will never work a day in your life” was thrown around many times.
