Contains 1 Component(s) Includes a Live Web Event on 11/12/2024 at 1:00 PM (EST)
The College of Education & Human Development at Texas A&M University established the Marilyn Kent Byrne Student Success Center in 2007 to support the academic, personal, and professional growth of students. In this session you will learn about the myriad resources, student programs and how the Byrne Center team collaborates with stakeholders both on and off campus to support students during their undergraduate journey.
The goal of this presentation is to support professionals as they develop Student Success Centers and the policies and programming that are implemented within these centers to support students at their respective institutions.
To address the current challenges in higher education, it is imperative that colleges and universities undertake a cultural and structural shift devoted to becoming “student ready.” (White, 2016) These challenges include declines in enrollment across all sectors of higher education (National Student Clearing House Research Center, 2019); an increase in first year students required to take remedial education (Jimenez et al., 2016); and students needing greater levels of socio-emotional support to increase student achievement (jones & Khan, 2017). Research indicates that collaboration between academic affairs and student affairs supports student learning and success (Frost et al., 2010; Kezar, 2001; Kuh, 1996; Love & Love, 1995; Nesheim et al., 2007). Effective collaborations can manifest in a variety of ways, such as residential learning communities (Brower & Inkelas, 2010), assessment (Banta & Kuh, 1998), and new student orientation (Kezar, 2001). These collective ideas can be a part of Student Success Centers that support the retention, and persistence of students within an individual college at a university or as a student success center that supports all students at an institution. The presenters will share their current work and best practices along with barriers.
The Marilyn Kent Byrne Student Success Center’s personnel, resources & programming available, technology, and key partnerships on and off campus will also be discussed.
Finally, we will have a discussion on the growing field of “Student Success” within higher education and how this term closely aligns with Student Success Centers.
Learning Outcomes:
- Learn key programming and resources that can be a part of a student success center.
- Learn about partnerships between student affairs, academic affairs and community stakeholders to support student success on their campus.
- Learn budget opportunities to start a student success center.

Since the implementation deadline of August 14, 2020 for the Department of Education's new Title IX regulations, the push was on for student affairs administrators from across campus to come together to determine how their institutions will meet the requirements of the new rule. A key piece of compliance comes in the form of training - for anyone who the institution designates as being responsible for conducting any informal resolution process. NASPA has partnered with Peter Lake and other experts in higher education to develop a comprehensive training tailored to any professional who has been charged with implementing informal resolutions processes. This new training program is a one-of-a-kind, hybrid online and synchronous learning experience designed to assist administrators in getting up to speed on informal resolution procedures, especially within the confines of the new Title IX rules.
October 28- November 15, 2024
The proposed Title IX regulations were issued in June 2022 and included similar training requirements as the current regulations. As institutions wait for the proposed rules to become finalized, institutions must ensure adherence to the current regulations until the proposed regulations become permanent. A key piece of this compliance comes in training – for Title IX coordinators, investigators, and decision-makers, as outlined in the previous administration’s regulations. The proposed regulations issued in June 2022 include additional training requirements for those involved in implementing informal resolution processes in Title IX cases. Campuses are already implementing a wide variety of informal processes, and the proposed regulations indicate that institutions must provide proper training to use informal systems in Title IX matters.
How should campuses ensure fair processes for both parties when utilizing informal resolution in Title IX cases? Who should be responsible for conducting informal resolution options, and what skills do these personnel need? What options do institutions have to deliver informal resolution? What are the potential benefits and challenges of different forms of informal resolution? What are the promising practices and practices to avoid? This 8-hour training includes three asynchronous video modules and one 4-hour live synchronous session where participants will participate in informal resolution practice sessions with realistic scenarios to develop core informal resolution skills. Attendance during the live session is mandatory for completion.
Join Peter Lake and Kristine Goodwin to explore these and other issues related to conducting informal resolution in Title IX cases. Peter Lake is a higher education law and policy expert and past professor of alternative dispute resolution. Kristine Goodwin is a former higher education administrator and trained mediator to explore these and other issues. This eight-hour training includes three asynchronous video modules and one four-hour live required synchronous session. Participants will participate in informal resolution practice sessions with realistic scenarios to develop core informal resolution skills.

We have entered a turbulent time of free speech, expression, association and advocacy on campus. From the Black Lives Matter movement in the summer of 2020 to the protests since October 7, 2023, campuses have become ground zero for major free expression controversies. We have entered a turbulent time of free speech, expression, association and advocacy on campus. From the BLM movement in the summer of 2020 to the protests since October 7, 2023, campuses have become ground zero for major free expression controversies. Have modern colleges adopted or been forced into the role of “referee” in the marketplace of ideas? Many ideas will also have dedicated advocacy efforts associated with them; there is no reason to believe the market of ideas will be free from conflict. How will modern colleges manage the dynamics of free expression and advocacy in today's political climate? Where does academic freedom fit into the calculus of managing expression on the contemporary campus? What important lessons about free speech and advocacy do we need to teach this generation of learners? A major takeaway of this webinar will be how to focus on places and spaces as much as speakers and ideas. Join Professor Lake for this 90-minute webinaras he discusses the frontiers of free expression on American college campuses.
