Program Session One
Goucher College’s Peer Media5on Service:
Conflicts, Conundrums, and ‘ccomplishments! Kasey Quinn, Community Living Coordinator, Goucher College
Mary Wahl, Community Living Coordinator, Goucher College
Room: 272
When engaging conflict, it is no easy feat to honor self-determina/on and find
collabora/ve win-win solu/ons for everyone involved. Launching a peer media/on
service at a small college with limited resources is even more challenging although the
rewards are highly restora/ve and extremely worthwhile. Community Living
Coordinators Mary Wahl and Kasey Quinn will examine the conflicts, conundrums, and
accomplishments of ins/tu/onalizing a peer media/on service at Goucher College.
So you think you want to work in Higher Educa5on?
Eddie Wright, Associate Director of Admissions, Mount St. Mary's University
Lorrie Budd, Assistant Director of Student Life, The Community College of Bal/more
County
Room: 259
Lorrie Budd and Edward Wright will host a panel of higher educa/on professionals
with the purpose of giving interested undergraduate students some 1-1 /me with
new and seasoned professionals in the field. All appropriate ques/ons are fair to ask.
There will be a diverse panel eager to educate the future of our profession!
The Next Genera/on Conference, simply referred to as Next Gen, will be held
Sunday and Monday, March 3-4, 2013 prior to the start of the ACPA 2013 Las Vegas
Conven/on.
Next Gen is a unique opportunity for approximately 100 undergraduate students to
learn about careers in student affairs. Par/cipants will meet and learn from current
graduate students, graduate prepara/on program faculty, and seasoned student
affairs professionals who work at a variety of colleges and universi/es. This is a great
way to explore the profession and gather informa/on you need to plan your future.

Service Project Informa5on
Ac5ve Ci5zenship
Toni Aho, Interim Assistant Director of Student Life, The Community College of
Bal/more County
Room: 259
Engage your hands and your head as you assemble Guatemalan Worry Doll kits for
children receiving treatment at John's Hopkins Bloomberg Pediatric Center. These kits
will provide sick kids with a distrac/on from their pain and anxiety. This ac/vity will
provide you with the opportunity to consider how you can impact your community
and take steps toward ac/ve ci/zenship. Plus, learn what it means to be an ac/ve
ci/zen and how you can put that into ac/on in your life!
Leading Leaders: Crea5ng and Maintaining a Diverse Group of Student Leaders
Chris/ne Krieger, Assistant Director for Programming, Goucher College
Alex Queener, Goucher College
Room: 259
Building a strong, cohesive team is one of the biggest challenges for student
leaders. How do you maintain energy? How do you keep returners engaged? This
session will explore the process of crea/ng, engaging, and inspiring an involved,
effec/ve, and impacVul group of student leaders.
Face Time: Ini5a5ng Courageous Conversa5ons and Crea5ng Interac5ons of Value
and Valida5on Aisha Rivers, Program Coordinator, Goucher College
Room: 269
Ini/a/ng in-person conversa/ons when race, sexual orienta/on or other iden//es are
present can be difficult and is o@en averted to avoid shame, guilt, or conflict. At the
same /me, having interac/ons where all par/es feel valued and their iden//es
validated is an important piece to those conversa/ons. Without this dialogue, what
opportuni/es are lost, offenses commi?ed, and assump/ons made? This session will
engage in reflec/ng upon iden/ty to inspire courageous conversa/ons that create
greater civil interconnec/ons.

Program Session Three
AMP It Up: Giving Students the Why
Solia Bickersteth, Mount Saint Mary's University
Samuel Frushour, Ac/vi/es Management Program/ Student Leader, Mount Saint
Mary's University
Room: 259
Student leaders must be given the proper resources to ascertain a high level of suc-
cess. Fundamentally, this comes from the "what, how, and why" model. Just like stu-
dent development theory, it is not the ac/on or the process of comple/ng the ac/on
that makes the case. Instead, it is the reason behind it. This session focuses on giving
students the necessary leadership tools to develop their why, ci/ng real life prac/ces
at Mount St. Mary’s University and their profound effects.
It’s All in the Smile: Crea5ng Customer Service Moments
Edward Wright, Associate Director of Admissions, Mount St. Mary's University
Jeffrey Griffith, Joanna Hale, Melissa Hilleary, Ma?hew Mastroma?eo
Mount Ambassador Coordinators Mount St. Mary's University
Room: 269
We have interac/ons with people at many different levels. Regardless of whether the
situa/ons we encounter are full of excitement or frustra/on, the people involved are
the customers of our profession. This presenta/on will provide simple strategies on
incorpora/ng the basics of customer service and how using such strategies can turn
any situa/on into a posi/ve experience.

Do you keep hearing about professional associa5ons, but you're not sure
what they are? Professional associa/ons are smaller groups of individuals within the larger profession
of student affairs. Associa/ons may be based on type of interest, region or
division. Consider joining a professional associa/on in your field(s) of interest - or at
least check out its website. While not all associa/ons have membership op/ons for
undergraduates, many may be willing to help you find a mentor in your field of
interest. As of 2012, ACPA's undergraduate membership is just $29 per year.
News, blogs, twi�er - O, My! Blogs and higher educa/on news websites can be a great way to figure out from
different perspec/ves both what's going on and what it's like to work in the field of
student affairs.
