Narrative
Throughout the course CSP 6010- Foundations and Functions of College Student Personnel, I developed an understanding of the historical and philosophical influences that have influenced both higher education and the student affairs profession. I learned about the purpose, functions,
and roles of student affairs and its relationship to academic affairs and how student affairs professional associations contribute to upholding the values of the profession and provide continuous professional development. As part of this course, I also had the opportunity to interview a faculty member and gain insight on the culture and collaboration between faculty and student affairs. (See faculty interview paper below.)
Within the academic advising department at Owens Community College, the managers launched a new professional development series.
I attended the first session that focused on the history, philosophy, and values of academic advising. One of the staff members recently did their dissertation on this topic and the meeting was very informative. The presenter touched on the importance of knowing history and understanding where
the profession started so we have a better understanding of why we are doing the things the way we are doing. In addition, history helps to direct future progress.
As part of CSP 6050- Capstone Seminar, I wrote a personal statement of mission paper (See copy of personal statement of mission paper).
This assignment allowed me to explore, articulate, and express the personal and professional values and beliefs that inform my work in student
affairs. In addition, I have included a one page mission statement that summarizes my personal and professional values. (See below.) This document will be reshaped as I continue to gain experience in student affairs.
