Listening as Restorative
Stacy Andes, Director of Health Promotion - Villanova University
Room: Dundon-Berchtold Hall 235
Core Theme: Student Well-Being and Developing a Healing and Restorative Community
Restorative practices strengthen relationships between individuals as well as social connections within communities. People with greater sense of community are more likely to act in healthy ways and work with others to promote well-being for all. Communities need opportunities to process the personal and collective impact of life events and experiences of harm. With roots in indigenous cultures around the world, the listening circle provides people an opportunity to speak and to listen in a structured, safe space. Listening circles emphasize the importance of storytelling for cultivating empathy and helps participants to gain a shared sense of understanding and connection. This session will review the listening circle process, discuss the ways in which it has been employed at Villanova, and identify areas for consideration in refining the listening circle process to best meet the needs of the community.

Spiritual Maturity as the Foundation of Catholic Higher Education
Ricky Bevington, C.S.C., Seminarian and Master of Divinity Candidate - University of Notre Dame
Room: Dundon-Berchtold Hall 130
Core Themes: Student Well-Being and Developing a Healing and Restorative Community & The Changing Role of Student Affairs at Catholic Colleges and Universities
The main argument of this session is that spiritual development must sit at the foundation of any Catholic student affairs program and that attention to how we are forming students spiritually will bolster other developmental and care initiatives. Integrated student development cannot see spirituality as merely one of many pillars, but rather it must view spirituality as the foundation of all formation work. Reference to student physical, mental, and emotional health as well as references to service learning, dialogue across difference, and commitment to life-long faith will be made as it is shown that attention to the spiritual dimension is essential to Catholic education and overall student wellbeing. Further, the presenter believes that this model can meet the needs of both students who attend Catholic higher education in hopes of growing in the relationship with Jesus as well as students whose primary goals are more directly academic or career focused. This session recognizes that even among Catholic students, there is increased diversity of experience of faith and religion. How do we communicate to all students the importance of spiritual wellbeing as an essential element of holistic growth and how do we as institutions position ourselves to foster spiritual maturity?
Preparing Hearts & Minds with an online Pre-Arrival Orientation Experience
Jeromy Koffler, Director of Student Activities - University of Portland
William Tipton, Technology Specialist - Advantage Design Group
Room: Dundon-Berchtold Hall 032
Core Theme: The Changing Role of Student Affairs at Catholic Colleges and Universities
Finding the right methods to reach and connect with new students and welcome them into our campus culture can be a challenge for Catholic colleges and universities. We want to grow our capacity to serve every student in their transition to college life, yet we don’t want to lose the ability to provide students with the personal attention they need to be successful. This session will highlight how a unique online orientation platform, complete with personalized, interactive, and video-rich content, is welcoming, informing, and engaging students and their families before they come to campus. Once they complete the online experience, students and family members arrive on campus more knowledgeable and prepared, ready to embrace the culture and mission of Catholic Higher Education. This session includes an open discussion of how the University of Portland partnered with Advantage Design Group to build a custom orientation experience, a tour of the online platform, a survey of measurable outcomes, and time for questions and answers.

How can we meet and support the increasing well-being needs of students? This interactive session will highlight the national data on student wellness and supporting student success through telehealth solutions.

When done well, it also is a road map to student success, decreased recidivism, managed risk, and improved retention. These pillars of success are led by a common language found in the Gospels, our charismatic traditions from a global perspective.

Room: Dundon-Berchtold Hall 030
Core Themes: Student Well-Being and Developing a Healing and Restorative Community & The Changing Role of Student Affairs at Catholic Colleges and Universities
Cultivating Mind and Heart is at the core of supporting student mental health. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for college students. National statistics document approximately 1100 completed suicides by college students each year, with more than 100 suicide attempts for each documented death. The student affinity groups with the highest risk for suicide are among LGBTQ students and veterans. The stigma associated with mental health, particularly suicide, requires intentional mission-grounded education and effective training. This program will provide a theoretical framework linked to strategic practice to help prevent suicide and nurture an environment of respect and inclusion.

Public Work: The Role of Liturgical Formation in the lives of Students on a Catholic Campus
Rev. Timothy R. Weed, C.S.C., M-Div., Campus Minister for Liturgy - University of Portland
Room: Dundon-Berchtold Hall 032
Core Theme: The Changing Role of Student Affairs at Catholic Colleges and Universities
At the heart of Catholicism is the gathering together in community through public worship of the Lord. Part of the work of Campus Ministry at a Catholic university is to help impart good, formative, and inspiring liturgies that form the hearts and minds of students so that they are equipped to go out from campus and be a force for good in parishes throughout the Church. Yet, there is a challenge in connecting students with the public work of liturgy, of understanding its importance in not only relating one’s self with God, but also in joining with each other in communion of worship. This presentation thus highlights some of the theological underpinnings of sound liturgical formation by drawing on a synthesis of Church teaching, while also offering insights into the lived experience of college-aged students and the challenges they confront, in hopes of helping them to grow in their desire to participate in liturgical prayer.
The Stay Interview: An engagement and retention employee strategy case study
Dr. Karen Lange, Vice President Student Affairs
Erica Thompson, Associate Director of Residence Life
University of St. Thomas
Room: Dundon-Berchtold Hall 133

There are ways to reduce its impact by rethinking your campus culture to be more attractive and inclusive to current employees and candidates. The Stay Interview offers an opportunity to create open communication channels and candid and meaningful dialogue with employees. The Stay Interview collective trends will provide insights that will allow leaders to move from listening to action. The data collected from the interviews will prompt leaders to make an effort to reinforce what works, change what doesn’t, and assess how your efforts are working out. Using stay interviews will allow your institution to answer the call to action and be prepared to retain talent.
