In addition, we will discuss the second year of managing the peer education programs, a year after their inaugural campus launch.

In this webinar, the presenters will delve into the methodically crafted evidence-based program design process deeply rooted in mentoring research, anti-deficit inquiry, and the recognition of cultural wealth. Our journey will explore the preparation and launch of four student peer programs led by Counseling and Wellness, Mobilizing Opportunities for Student Advocacy, Inclusion and Culture (MOSAIC) Center, and Career Center and go into a deep dive into two peer programs as case studies that expand over two years.
Integrated into the programs, Cougs Reaching Cougs, Peer Health Promotion, EmPOWERment Fellows, and Peer Career Coaches, the respective student supervisors serve as mentors to guide students individually, and as a team, and provide ongoing training along with opportunities to apply learned techniques and tools that reinforce skill development through immediate and continual practice. The mentoring relationship allows for authentic listening and sharing that provides insight that supervisors can incorporate through activities and dialogues on topics such as identity, advocacy, mental, emotional, and physical wellness, navigating college, and career exploration.
Shared training and professional development opportunities are included for all student employees in these offices, while tailored components can be added to the experiential learning that is outlined as part of the program design. These three offices work together to create an intersectional approach to student development by focusing on personal growth, identity exploration, professional development, and holistic well-being. Using the pedagogical approach of “meeting students where they are”, we maintain a judgment-free environment where aspirations for the program needs are met, along with the personal, professional, and academic goals of the student employees. As we launched three new peer education programs at the same time, we provide and receive systemic support and advice to continuously improve and grow our programs, preventing burnout as student affairs professionals.

The presentation covers strategic planning frameworks, research, and best practices. Participants will have an opportunity to get involved through a strategic planning exercise followed by a discussion of how to apply the frameworks at their institution.
As a concept, strategic planning promises opportunities for an organization to become more successful by assessing the future, setting goals, and devising ways to bring about those goals (Dooris, Kelley, & Trainer, 2004). This intentionality is critical in all types of functional areas and at all levels of organizations. However, in practice, strategic planning is often confusing given the number of models, methods, ideas, tools, and procedures. Confusion can also set in when professionals try to adapt a strategic planning process from a business centered field to student affairs. These challenges and countless external pressures make it difficult to successfully develop and implement a strategic plan in a unit, and/or for a division.
Given these challenges, this presentation's intent is to initiate a conversation about a strategic planning model that works for student affairs. Specifically, the primary goal of this session is to develop, through discussion and application, the skills needed to successfully begin a strategic plan in an individual unit and/or for a student affairs division. The program has three additional goals; (1) develop an understanding of how to use assessment findings in a strategic plan; (2) evaluate frameworks and determine which framework is most applicable to their organization; and (3) the consideration of psychology and behavior that supports the successful development of a strategic plan. Covering each of these goals is critical given the growing need for strategic thinking and planning for all professionals.

Learning Outcomes
1. Participants will understand strategic planning in the student affairs assessment context.
2. Participants will learn about different strategic planning frameworks.
3. Participants will learn how to apply strategic planning frameworks in their own workplace.
