As a student affairs professional, lifelong learning and professional development are important facets of my student affairs philosophy in order to best serve my students and the institution I work at. Through continuous learning, I believe that I can develop the competencies necessary to create a supportive and inclusive campus environment that promotes student success. To this end, I have set short-term (1-3 years) and long-term (3+ years) goals that are focused on enhancing my skills in areas such as student leadership development, multicultural competency, and assessment and evaluation.

 

Therefore, I am committed to continually developing my student affairs competencies through a combination of short-term and long-term career goals. In this section, I will outline my plans for enhancing my skills in areas such as student leadership development, multicultural competency, and assessment and evaluation.

 

Moreover, I intend to stay connected to the latest trends and best practices in the field by actively participating in professional organizations such as NAFSA, NACADA, NASPA, and ACPA, networking with other members, and attending relevant conferences. I believe that by staying current with the latest developments in the field, I can better serve my students and the institution I work at, and contribute to the advancement of student affairs as a whole.
