Program Session One
Good Inten�ons Are Not Enough: Decolonizing "Diversity" in Student Affairs
Room 270
Paul C. Gorski, Ph. D
George Mason University; Humane Society University
Despite the good inten-ons of “diversity advocates” and “mul-cultural affairs” offices,
many diversity ini-a-ves accentuate exis-ng inequi-es. Drawing on the concept,
“decolonized mul-culturalism,” through interac-ve discussion and exercises,
par-cipants will explore how “diversity” is framed, o;en in ways that support
hegemonic condi-ons related to race, sexual orienta-on, gender, class, and so on. We
will discuss common ways these condi-ons are perpetuated through well-inten-oned
diversity ini-a-ves and how to challenge ourselves to transcend the dominant
discourse and push for social jus-ce.
Ge6ng YOUR Word Out: ACPA Publica�on Opportuni�es from Beginner to
Experienced Writer
Room 272
Alice A. Mitchell, Ph. D
University of Maryland College Park
As professionals in student affairs, we o;en have informa-on to share with others
that will assist them professionally. Instead of just walking down the hall and chaDng
with your neighbor, why not share your informa-on and exper-se more broadly?
This session will acquaint you with ACPA publica-ons and "what it takes" to write for
each one. Some publica-ons are great for those who are just beginning to write
professionally. Other publica-ons are a good choice if you have some publica-on
experience. Come learn how to get started in sharing your good ideas beyond chaDng
with your neighbor!
Encouraging Students to Intervene Room 330
Tim Cherney, Loyola University Maryland
Jennifer McCary, Ge:ysburg College
Everyday our students witness bias-related behaviors or other ac-ons that damage our
communi-es. This session will review factors that inhibit students from intervening in
these situa-ons. Furthermore, once students commit to intervening, many aren't
confident in their abili-es to make a posi-ve change. This presenta-on will provide
par-cipants with tools, techniques, and language they can use to empower their
students to step in when they witness nega-ve behaviors.

Program Session Two
Hook 'Em Early, planning a Parent Preview Orienta�on Program Room 270 Michael Robbin, McDaniel College
McDaniel College introduced a new parent orienta-on program for Summer 2011
called Parent Preview. The program was aimed at making allies of the parents of the
incoming first year class parents early in the college experience, and to help be:er
orient them to the staff/offices so they could help serve as a resource to their
students. This session will walk through the major planning steps that Student Affairs
at McDaniel took in order to have this very successful program take place.
Learning by Example: Cul�va�ng Academic Affairs and Student Affairs
Connec�ons Room 272 Michael Puma, Loyola University Maryland
David S. Clurman, University of Maryland, Bal-more County
Research indicates that students who have informal contact with faculty outside of
the classroom are generally more sa-sfied with college life, exhibit higher levels of
achievement, and are more likely to graduate from college. Come find out how two
universi-es, one public and one private, have worked to create and maintain
successful connec-ons between academic affairs and residen-al life. Learn about how
you could develop and nurture programs on your campus while avoiding common
challenges and piSalls.

Organiza�ons Room 330 Ana Maia, University of Maryland - College Park
Damien Franze, University of Maryland - College Park

leadership development and student success; b) gaining knowledge and understanding
of effec-ve strategies for recruitment, training, development and reten-on of student
organiza-on leaders; c) understanding the importance and effec-veness of
