Interview a student affairs practitioner or leader with whom you have not worked
You are expected to interview a student affairs practitioner/leader (at least mid-level, i.e. director and above) with whom you have not worked. The purpose of the interview is to learn about a student affairs educator’s professional journey, various factors that have influenced their career development, and how they may have intentionally shaped their careers.
Based on the interview, write and submit a paper addressing the following:
.How do student affairs professionals decide to pursue careers in the student affairs?
.What are some strategies for persisting and being successful in the field?
.What are some key challenges facing student affairs professionals?
.Compare and contrast your interview subject’s professional journey with your own.
.In what ways are your experiences similar or different?
.How might institutional type, positionality, and social identities factor into the similarities or differences between your experiences?
.How might what you have learned from the interview and reflection process inform how you shape your development as a student affairs professional?
The above questions are not meant to be an outline for the assignment. Successful papers will clearly and intrinsically address the questions raised, but will also be well-organised around a central thesis. Papers will also present cohesive ideas in a logical flow. Finally, your paper will integrate ideas from the interview, your personal perspective on your own experiences and course readings. The written paper should be (9 pages, double spaced)and accompanied by a power point or perzi presentation of 6 slides
