Research has increasingly spotlighted the simultaneous use of alcohol and cannabis/marijuana (i.e., using both substances such that effects overlap) and concurrent alcohol and cannabis/marijuana use (i.e., using both substances but not necessarily at the same time). In our next “3 for 60” webinar, 3 of the nation’s leading researchers will describe their own research addressing the prevalence, patterns, and consequences of simultaneous use, with an eye toward what campuses need to know and opportunities for prevention.

Presenters from the Center for First-generation Student Success will identify key data sources and metrics that institutions should consider as they leverage data to inform decision-making and advance first-generation student success.

The 3 for 60 series – sponsored by 360 Proof – brings together three national content experts – over the course of 60 minutes - to highlight their research, lessons learned and share some insight for the future around reducing high-risk substance use on campus.

Student employees play a vital role in the success of an institution. But the struggle to hire students has become more pronounced in the last year. As educators, we have a responsibility to not only give students a paycheck but also help them connect with the broader skills and learning that result from on-campus employment. Adopting a career readiness framework for student employees can help add value for both you and your students. Iowa State University embarked on this journey several years ago, resulting in the creation of the ISU Career Ready framework. Attendees will be given a brief overview of the data surrounding the need for career competencies. Next, we will cover the creation of the ISU Career Ready framework and highlight several departments and offices on campus implementing the competencies, most prominently Recreation Services. Finally, we will walk through and share a practical toolkit full of ready-to-use documents and materials to help you in your journey!

This session will offer participants an opportunity to engage in a discussion on the development and implementation of first-generation student programming. Discussing key themes identified in the book, Developing and Implementing Promising Practices and Programs for First-Generation College Students (Troy et al., 2022), presenters will provide insight into key strategies to develop and implement programs and practices for first-generation students.

A research study exploring the lived experiences of career readiness competencies within Residence Life.

Students who seek mental health services on campus show improvement in personal, professional, and social functioning. While most first-generation college students (FGCS) experience increased stress, they are less likely to seek services. This live briefing will highlight current practices, needs, and recommendations for clinicians and professionals working with FGCS.

In this NASPA live briefing, the presenter shares new thinking around the Leadership for Liberation framework—notably, embedding theories of madness and ideas around speculative practices. The presenter also extends the Leadership for Liberation framework for higher education/student affairs professionals in an effort to better prepare them for collective action toward liberation and all the meanings and feelings that come with it.

Did you know 62 percent of student veterans identify as a first-generation college student (defined as neither parent completed a four-year college degree)? The presenters will cover the characteristics, challenges, and needs of first-generation student veterans (FGSV) and how to strategically and proactively support FGSV on campus.

The purpose of this program is to discuss the difference between mentors and sponsors and how each role functions in career development.
