How I Became A Student Affairs Professional

How I became a Student Affairs Professional What began as a quick and easy way for me to share my student affairs journey has become a collection of clips from several student affairs professionals.

I posted my “How I became a student affairs professional” video on YouTube at HigherEdLive.com and invited other folks to do the same.

It’s always fascinating to me to hear someone tell the tale of how they got into student affairs. Have you shared your story yet?

If you post a video on YouTube of how you became an SA pro, let me know and I’ll add it to the original collection.

How did you become a student affairs professional?

According to a recent poll from the Student Affairs Collaborative blog, a lot of folks found their way into student affairs via Residence Life, Student Government, and Student Activities involvement.

Student Affairs Technology, Social Media, and #NASPACPA

It’s been a busy week for yours truly…I made an unscheduled appearance on the BreakDrink.com Student Affairs Podcast, broadcast the first ever live episode of Student Affairs Live, and was interviewed in a podcast on StudentAffairs.com. I’ll be at the 2011 NASPA Annual Conference from Saturday through next Wednesday. I’m excited that I get to put on two student affairs social media unsessions at the conference. I can’t wait to blog, tweet, and record as much of the event as I can.

At about the 12:25 mark, I called in to chat about the proposed NASPA + ACPA consolidation:
