  Don’t Hurt Yourself: Identifying, Addressing, and Understanding the Imposter in the Room (ID 73)

  Have you ever felt like you didn't belong in a certain role, avoided showing confidence, or witnessed students discounting their success? Many people experience a sense of imposter syndrome sometime in their lives. Don't hurt yourself or allow students (first-generation, in particular) to do the same. In this session, participants will learn how to call out imposter syndrome through self-authorship and develop strategies to alleviate its effects.

  “I Matter:” Sense of Belonging in Community College Students (ID 124)

  Kayoko Mathews, Julia Buchans

  “I Matter:” Sense of Belonging in Community College Students (ID 124)

  Sense of belonging is a fundamentally important human need and motivation for behavior, and is relevant to students as they pursue their educational goals within higher education. The presenters will provide information on the definition and importance of sense of belonging, with specific attention placed on community college students, who are more likely to have historically marginalized and underrepresented identities. The presenters will examine programs at Seattle Central College that engender sense of belonging, and encourage participants to identify programs or activities at their own institutions that can help support community college or transfer students' sense of belonging.

  Greek Life Reform Initiatives Post-2017 (ID 173)

  Ainsley Carry, Kurt Keppler, Damon Sims, Monroe Gorden

  Greek Life Reform Initiatives Post-2017 (ID 173)

  Academic leaders are working to balance benefits of the Greek life experience against its human costs. Participation in Greek-letter organizations produces benefits such as a sense of belonging, loyalty to the institution, philanthropic support, and professional development. Paradoxically, it is also the site of repeated hazards resulting in student deaths and injuries. Universities' inability to intervene leaves new students vulnerable and institutions liable. Eliminating harm is imperative, yet evidence-based solutions remain illusive. The presenters will share new harm-reduction initiatives.

  The growth of online learning is having an impact on more than just technology.

  Modeling Civic Engagement as Student Affairs Professionals (ID 504)

  The Cultural Context of Consent (ID 554)

  Barbara LoMonaco, Laura Johnson

  The Cultural Context of Consent (ID 554)

  Despite considerable scholarly and media attention, the concept of consent on college campuses is still misunderstood and murky. In this session, the presenters explore some of the contemporary cultural trends that construct notions of consent among college students. We then discuss how consent is presented in our institutional response policies, and the ways in which some of our practices are in direct contradiction to the very concept of consent. The session wraps up with a review of effective programming models and a discussion of how participants are currently teaching consent on their campuses.

  Preparing for the Post-College Transition: Supporting Homeless, Emancipated, Orphaned, and Other Independent Students (ID 603)

  The post-college transition can be full of stress and anxiety as one engages in the job search process, addresses financial concerns, and plans for the future. Additional challenges present themselves for independent students (homeless, emancipated, orphaned) who do not have parental or familial support. In this session, presenters will share research and strategies to best support this student population for the post-college transition from three perspectives: a formerly independent student, a career center practitioner, and a faculty member.
