  • Contains 4 Component(s), Includes Credits

    In seeking to create a culture of care, concern, and belonging for an increasingly diverse constituency, many institutions of higher learning have sought ways to embed inclusive excellence across their infrastructure. However, given the sociopolitical context of institutionalized identity-based exclusion, as well as increasingly nuanced understandings of social identity development and expression in the United States, many colleges and universities struggle to offer seemingly “authentic” modes of support for the populations they seek to serve. This discussion focuses on ways to define and identify structural determinism in practice and pedagogy in an effort to cultivate pluralistic learning environments that are holistically beneficial to campus communities.

    Effective mentorship programs employ diverse strategies to offer guidance and assistance. With intentional connections, mentors draw from their journeys of perseverance and direct mentees to tailored resources for specific challenges. Presenters will share how an intentionally designed mentorship program enhances first-generation students' sense of belonging and steers them toward the experiences and resources that help them thrive in and beyond college.

    Sponsored Session: Mentor Collective

    Billions are invested annually in student services, but many students never access them. As the value of higher education is increasingly scrutinized, institutions can not afford to have underused services. To address this, institutions are harnessing the power of mentorship to dismantle barriers hindering first-generation students from accessing student support services.

    President Emeritus, Timothy A Alvarez, Ph.D. will offer strategies for having crucial conversations with staff. With over 34 years of experience in Student Affairs and Presidential leadership roles in community colleges, Dr. Alvarez will share insight on having crucial and sometimes challenging conversations in the workplace, while demonstrating compassion and grace.

    Since COVID forced us to work virtually and remotely, it magnified the feeling of disconnection, which created a more significant sense of loneliness. Further, it exposed weaknesses in our systems and strain on interpersonal relationships. Interpersonal conflict is inevitable in the workplace, and now that we are returning to more face-to-face interactions, conflict can also be the most challenging part of a leader’s responsibilities and can translate into poor performance and, worse, employee turnover. 

    Learn how avoiding difficult conversations can create a divisive work environment and pit staff against each other. If we shift our mindset toward honest, deliberated, and compassionate interactions, there is hope to develop a more civil and caring work environment. Dr. Alvarez will offer practical approaches derived from such authors as Marcus Buckingham, Taya Cohen, Brene Brown, Daniel Pink, Malcolm Gladwell, and Claude Steele. 


    Dr. Timothy Alvarez

    President Emeritus

    Otero College

    Dr. Timothy Alvarez recently retired as President Emeritus from Otero College, where he served as only the 5th president. He was relentlessly focused on student engagement, minimizing systematic barriers, equity and inclusion, undergraduate research, career readiness, and mentoring. Professionally, Dr. Alvarez provided leadership to the National Association of Student Affairs Professionals (NASPA), the Association of Land Grant Universities (APLU), and the broader community. Within NASPA, he has been a regional director, NUFP regional coordinator, state membership coordinator, regional membership coordinator, conference program co-chair, case study judge, program reviewer, and board member for the James Scott Academy.

    Dr. Alvarez also enjoys community involvement, as evidenced by his recent participation in the El Pomar Foundation, the Koshare Museum Board of Directors, the La Junta School District Advisory Council, and the La Junta Main Street Board.

    Dr. Alvarez has been married to Lori for thirty-eight years. They have three grown children, Joshua, Jason, and Tiffany, and 5 grandsons under the age of 4.

    Advising Technology refers to the source systems, advising tools, and add-on student support features that provide information from and about students to institutions. The application of one or more of these technologies introduces efficiencies by automating common transactional elements of planning and advising services, enabling more opportunities to create and foster meaningful relationships between students and their advisor(s) and promoting intentional and holistic advising by design.

    Advising Technology refers to the source systems, advising tools, and add-on student support features that provide information from and about students to institutions. The application of one or more of these technologies introduces efficiencies by automating common transactional elements of planning and advising services, enabling more opportunities to create and foster meaningful relationships between students and their advisor(s) and promoting intentional and holistic advising by design.

    The information collected and analyzed using advising technology can also assist institutions in learning more about how strategic, personalized attention and support can be offered to meet the specific needs of students and further their success. Through the use and application of advising technology, institutions can advance more equitable, high-quality, and effective programs and policies that center the experiences of Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, and low-income students and ultimately improve student learning outcomes.

    Learning Objectives
    1. Define advising technology and identify how technology can support student success. 
    2. Summarize the state of the field.   
    3. Articulate how advising tech can be used as a tool to support racial and socioeconomic equity goals on campus (and where it can hurt).
    4. Identify institutions and the holistic advising redesign on each campus supported by technology.
