CEHD Student Services advisers, CEHD Career Services, and CEHD TRIO programs staff will present at the annual John Tate Academic Advising Conference on Thursday, March 13, 2014.

CEHD student services advisers’ presentation, “Subtracting the ‘Add On’ from Equity and Diversity work,” focuses on how CEHD advisers integrate equitable policies and processes across all of their work. This includes creating access opportunities that might be different or extra support for students. Participating advisers are:  Carole Anne Broad, Rebecca Dosch Brown, Sara Georgeson, Amy Hackett, Tracey Hammell, Anna Mraz, Don Riley, Ellen Sunshine, and Nate Whittaker.

Jeannie Stumne, director of CEHD Career Services, is a panelist on “Pulling out the stops! Advanced Career Counseling Strategies,” where career professionals will share specific anecdotes, techniques and stories they use to help students with common career development challenges including indecision, cultural differences, inaction, family issues, and integrating strengths and learning styles.

Kirsten Collins, TRIO Student Support Services adviser, and Minerva Munoz, director of TRIO Upward Bound, will present “Understanding Class and Classism in Higher Education,” focused on their work with students living in poverty and their own experiences as low-income, first-generation students. They highlight and discuss the often unseen or ignored classism in higher education, as well as strategies for identifying classism in policies and everyday life.
