This workshop will review critical components of the IRB and IACUC application processes.

Scaffolding research and writing in the new core: a workshop and conversation Craig Condella, Erin Harte, Dawn Emsellem

In this workshop participants will engage in a conversation working backwards from the capstone, asking the question, “where should graduates in our majors be in their research and writing skills, and how do we work backwards from that ideal?”

We will talk about experiences in teaching capstone classes focusing on successes and challenges with respect to discipline-specific research and writing skills.  The new core presents an opportunity to reimagine our students’ journey through our disciplines, and this conversation will start the discussion and possibly spur collaborations across departments.

Fostering Student Engagement Through Meaningful Faculty-Student Affairs Partnerships Tracey Cameron, Letizia Gambrell-Boone, Ann Motta

College student disengagement has been a hot topic among student affairs (SA) scholars and practitioners since well before the COVID-19 pandemic. To engage the diverse learners who are currently entering our campuses, the old ways of educating them must shift.

Collaboration between student affairs practitioners and faculty is more vital now than ever before. Intentionally designing opportunities that merge the learning that occurs inside and outside of the classroom reportedly yields a more seamless educational experience (Syno et al., 2019). In this session we will provide a brief overview of student development theory with a focus on engagement, involvement, and success models; discuss the barriers to engagement and involvement in the context of today's college student; and explore ways in which faculty and SA practitioners can partner to yield a more meaningful, engaging, and holistic student experience. Attendees will also learn about the Division of Student Affairs' Innovation Grant, a new funding opportunity that encourages creativity and engagement outside of the classroom. "

International Students and Employment in the USA Casey Donahue

Who is considered an international student? What are some of the restrictions around employment for our international students? Faculty can participate in a mock student visa interview to see if they would be approved for their visa and able to come study in the US!

Furthermore, Did you know that volunteering in the US can be considered unauthorized employment and grounds for the termination of their immigration documents? Or that international students cannot do internships like our domestic students? Maybe not! But it is certainly something I would like to touch upon in this session!
