Student Affairs Strategic Plan 23 149. Create a Student Organization Advisor Engagement Plan to provide training, expectations, and regular check-ins for faculty/ staff advisors to increase their effectiveness in supporting student organizations. 150. Develop and assess two tangible (e.g., knowledge or skills) and two emotional (e.g., confidence or sense of belonging) learning outcomes for HOWL and Wolf Pack Welcome, aligning with CAS Professional Standards for Higher Education, and incorporate these outcomes into the post-event survey.14 151. Develop and implement standardized annual training for Orientation Leaders that aligns with HOWL and Wolf Pack Welcome learning outcomes and equips leaders to effectively support both student success and the experience. 152. Launch a “Start a Student Organization” campaign each semester to educate students on the benefits and process of forming an organization, including info sessions, tabling events, and easy-to-follow resources on the Knowledge Base. 153. Transition student organization training to an evidence-based, multimodal, and comprehensive program that incentivizes leadership development to create a thriving, engaged, student leadership culture.15 154. Partnering with Marketing and Communications, offer a “Headshot Day” for student organization members and Student Affairs student employees to provide professional photos for use in promotional materials, professional social media profiles, organizational branding, and personal career materials. 155. Working with Admissions, import ACT data on H.S. involvement into Slate to better message students to encourage engagement. 156. Working with the First Year Seminar, offer the first FYS class session during Wolf Pack Welcome Weekend with an approved lesson plan. 157. Collaborate with campus partners to bring student leaders together during fall move-in for a Student Leadership Summit focused on leadership development and connection. 158. Working with Academic Affairs, create a Leadership Minor to support new leadership development across campus. 159. Working with Academic Affairs, create a competition to select the student speaker at spring commencement. 160. With Academic Affairs, create a top undergraduate student award that acknowledges academic excellence, commitment to community, and integrity to be recognized at May Commencement like faculty awards. 161. Create a stipend for the SGA Faculty Advisor. 162. Begin HOWL (Helping Our Wolves Learn) new student orientations after spring graduation. 163. Expand and further develop “Howling for the Holidays” to include a tall, natural, Christmas tree. 164. Working with Technology Services, find and implement a mobile-based events and activities calendar. 165. Develop an accessible directory of student organization contacts to encourage students to connect with student organizations. 166. Working with the Campus Activities Board (CAB) and Dining Services, expand Late Night Breakfast into the spring term. 167. Launch a branded orientation theme or slogan (e.g., “Start Your Pack Story”) and incorporate it across orientation materials (folders, signs, nametags), and marketing materials (social media, emails, mailings). 168. Partnering with Instructional Design, Enrollment Management, and Academic Affairs, institute a virtual HOWL for dual enrolled high school, transfer, international, and post-traditional students to ensure a seamless and high- quality on-boarding experience. 14For example ”Students who participate in HOWL will report feeling ‘prepared’ or ‘very prepared’ for the start of the semester and Students who attended HOWL will indicate that they made a meaningful connection with a peer, Orientation Leader, or staff/faculty member during orientation.” 15Student satisfaction with Annual Student Organization Training is low. It is currently conducted at the beginning of each semester for two hours and is not engaging.
