WPCSL Update

This episode is a conversation to help prepare for our Strategic Planning Team’s first full work session.

We're back for another update with everything happening on campus in 10 minutes or less! This week, we cover some of the events of the week plus a preview of some important changes to roles within Student Life that will help us serve students better.

In this week's episode, we talk about our hopes for students when they leave WPU and how we get there. Plus, events of the week and announcements about Student Life's Facebook page and the new Athletic Director position!

This week we talk with Dale Seipp about the roll out of WPU's new name, tuition model, and programs so you can have the inside scoop on what's happening and when you can expect to see the new website go live. We also cover this week's events while Jon tries to convince Michelle to go home.

Welcome to the first Update of 2018! In this week's update we talk through the absolute plethora of upcoming events and discuss a little of the "what and why" behind the work we do in Student Life. Here we go!

It's the last Update of 2017! We cover the events coming up this week and what it means to be curious in our work and lives.

It's the last week before finals! It surprised me a bit, but we have a lot to cover in this week's update. From upcoming drills and announcements going out to students to a full list of events and things to be mindful of, we cover a lot of ground.

As we mentioned in the Update, we're trying something new and separating out the campus updates from our interviews. In this one, we talk with Jess Bielman about our campus' Christ-Centered identity, and what it means for how we support students.

This week is a shorter one, but there's still some stuff coming up that will help you stay connected and get resources to our students. And we cover them all here, in less than 6 minutes!

We're trying something a little different this week! This update is the "news only" piece, and the featured interview/conversation will come out separately. This week, we highlight events coming up as a part of International Education Week as well as the NAIA National Cross Country Championship and multiple concerts. We also cover our upcoming all-Student Life meeting Dec. 5.

In this week's update, we hear part two of our conversation with Dr. Eileen Hulme, former VP of Student Life at 3 institutions and WPC board member. She shares her thoughts about how we look at innovation and challenging the process (and don’t pick too many things to challenge!) as well as what busyness means for us in Student Life. Plus, updates on good stuff happening around campus (and churros!).

This week we learn all about the real ghosting in a preview of a new podcast from our Counseling Center that will also go out to students. We also preview upcoming events and request help on a project.
