ChrisMacDen: I need #sachat, long week...
12:01 am ChrisMacDen: RT @AndreaHart: Heya Tweeps! Apologies in advance for clogging your feed. For the next hour, I'm hanging w/ the #sachat
12:01 am sarahhcraddock: #sachat take 2!
12:02 am edcabellon: Apologies to all for clogging your streams for a second time today... round 2 of our weekly #studentaffairs #sachat
12:02 am ARL275: scarfed down hot soup which helped my throat. also heated me up for #sachat
12:02 am debrasanborn: @AndreaHart I hear ya. Decompressing from AFTER work conversations about work. argh. #sachat
12:03 am ChrisMacDen: Love #sachat, chance to connect to fabulous colleagues around the country
12:03 am debrasanborn: @ARL275 No one hotter than you on #sachat!
12:47 am ARL275: @AndreaHart yes! #sachat
12:47 am edcabellon: @cindykane I think we just have to do it, for ourselves, and each other, whenever possible. No one else will do it. #sachat
12:48 am The_SA_Blog: RT @thestacyface: One of my current biggest challengs is working on a campus where no one has context for what I do. Lack of support and understanding #sachat
12:48 am mupsi27: @cindykane @edcabellon, I think this is where our SLOs and assessment can help, it is solid data that shows success or change #sachat
12:48 am jefflail: @cindykane @edcabellon I don't even know what you mean really. I think it has to be self-serving to a certain extent #sachat
12:48 am cindykane: @andreahart But, the student's experience is holistic - we're not the only ones contributing to their growth #sachat
12:48 am AndreaHart: @thestacyface Stacy, how do you try to overcome that knowledge gap at your institution? #sachat
12:48 am princeje: @debrasanborn While a bigger paycheck and more resources would be nice, Student and Admin appreciation is what i need #sachat
12:49 am jefflail: think of it this way: how do academic departments prove that they're worth something to the school? what are their measurables? #sachat
12:49 am ARL275: we should have an #sachat weekly spotlight! submit your "little things" and we'll all cheer for you =)
12:49 am debrasanborn: @thestacyface Agree. Info comes down, but doesn't travel well back up the chain. #sachat
12:49 am edcabellon: @debrasanborn Everything you mentioned :-) I don't want us to be a passing or afterthought, for all those things. #sachat
12:49 am mupsi27: @thestacyface is the misunderstanding just your job or all jobs in SA on your campus? I do not even know where you are now #sachat
12:49 am debrasanborn: @jefflail Retention and graduation stats. #sachat
12:49 am Grategatsby: go to your college's viewbook and circle your student leaders & any photos taken at your events, that might demonstrate your role #sachat
12:49 am The_SA_Blog: RT @jefflail: think of it this way: how do academic departments prove that they're worth something to the school? what are their measurables? #sachat
12:50 am princeje: @cindykane but they still wouldn't have the same growth experience if you or your office wasn't there #sachat
12:50 am AndreaHart: @jefflail unfortunately just the numbers (GPA, credit hours, graduation rates). Thats what makes quantifying SA impact difficult #sachat
12:50 am jefflail: @ARL275 that's so touchie feelie of you. LOL #sachat
12:50 am thestacyface: @mupsi27 Mostly my job/department. Housing is a new thing for this campus. #sachat
12:50 am cindykane: @jefflail I think we're doing just as good a job as academic departments (and sometimes better!) with outcomes measurement #sachat
12:50 am debrasanborn: @AndreaHart So what can you measure? Find those things. Assess. Survey. Show your value. #sachat
12:51 am ARL275: @jefflail there's nothing wrong with sharing a little of the #warmfuzzies every now and then #sachat
12:51 am princeje: @ARL275 We can have a MBTI type date and sort them :D #sachat
12:51 am thestacyface: @AndreaHart Basically spamming faculty/staff with info about what's going on in dept. Still a major gap in knowledge, though. #sachat
12:51 am ARL275: @jefflail at least i didn't suggest a snap cup #sachat
12:51 am debrasanborn: @thestacyface So, start calculating retention and graduation rate of your residents. #sachat
12:51 am jefflail: @debrasanborn @andreahart i think we have literally tons of measurables, but it's just not a priority to measure them #sachat
12:51 am sarahhcraddock: Gotta go #sachat! It's been fun!
12:51 am thestacyface: @ARL275 OMG. An #sachat snap cup would be AWESOME. Let's do it!
12:52 am AndreaHart: @thestacyface have you thought about bringing them on for programming/mentoring? Making them a part of it, instead of a spectator? #sachat
12:52 am debrasanborn: @princeje I could help with that. Need to collect more MBTI's. :) #sachat
12:52 am mupsi27: @debrasanborn Leadership and attitude change of student leaders, GPA correlation with programming, and pre post program assessment #sachat
12:52 am cindykane: @thestacyface @debrasanborn We've started publishing a "Greek Dean's List" for our fraternity/sorority members #sachat
12:52 am ARL275: @thestacyface it would have to be glittery! #sachat
12:52 am debrasanborn: @jefflail Priority? If you want to show value, it should be. #sachat
12:52 am jefflail: To me, acad depts show worth by: publishing, bringing in students (recruiting), research grants and revenue from research #sachat
12:52 am princeje: @thestacyface @ARL275 Out of the loop, what's a snap cup??? but whatever it is it needs to have glitter and bobsleds #sachat
12:53 am edcabellon: @thestacyface @arl275 Um, what's a snap cup? #sachat
12:53 am AndreaHart: Good point Debra - RT @debrasanborn: @jefflail Priority? If you want to show value, it should be. #sachat
12:53 am edcabellon: Of course you do! RT @debrasanborn: @princeje I could help with that. Need to collect more MBTI's. :) #sachat
12:53 am thestacyface: @debrasanborn Wish it were that simple. #sachat
12:53 am debrasanborn: @mupsi27 Great stuff. Exactly. #sachat
12:53 am thestacyface: @ARL275 Bedazzled, in fact. #sachat
12:53 am mupsi27: @stacyface that is tough, i guess just keep meeting with admins and having students talk about your importance to admins #sachat
12:53 am The_SA_Blog: Join the #sachat Twibe group to find everyone who participates in #sachat: http://www.twibes.com/group/sachat
12:54 am ARL275: snap cup - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcRTYTaVCuc #sachat
12:54 am pereirap80: I think qualitative tools are also important to get the why behind the numbers. Capture students words of why we rock #sachat
12:54 am edcabellon: @cholbrook357 Agreed, and I think we do a good job of that in #studentaffairs at BSC. #sachat
12:54 am cindykane: We also collect reflection quotes from students each year for our annual report. Very powerful stuff #sachat
12:55 am thestacyface: @cindykane We do a housing honor roll, complete with chancellor recognition. But I have to force the upper level involvement. #sachat
12:55 am mupsi27: @cindykane great, and two minute papers after heavy discussion on diversity, or communication can show change and development #sachat
12:55 am debrasanborn: @cindykane YES! Tell the story! Qualitative is just as important as stats. #sachat
12:56 am thestacyface: probably should have skipped chat tonight. Crankiness is getting the best of me. #sachat
12:56 am princeje: @ARL275 @thestacyface OMG we so need one of those (is it sad i imagined both of you singing the song and talking???) #sachat
12:56 am pereirap80: @cindykane great idea for the annual report #sachat
12:56 am princeje: RT @cindykane: We also collect reflection quotes from students each year for our annual report. Very powerful stuff #sachat
12:56 am AndreaHart: @thestacyface its okay. good to talk about it. We've all been there at some point right? #sachat
12:57 am cindykane: @thestacyface Hang in there.. it's good to have this kind of connection to help the cranky days too #sachat
12:57 am mupsi27: @thestacyface You are awesome so don't be cranky, just be awesome! And your input has be helpful #sachat
12:57 am AndreaHart: on a last minute side note, what instruments do you folks use to measure your outcomes on campus? #sachat
12:57 am jefflail: Of course those stats and data are meaningful, but are they meaningful to providing CLOUT? #sachat @cindykane @debrasanborn @pereirap80
12:58 am The_SA_Blog: MOD: Just a minute left> Last thoughts on challenges in #studentaffairs? #sachat
12:59 am cindykane: @jefflail It depends on what your leadership responds to... our president appreciates a good anecdote! #sachat
12:59 am debrasanborn: @jefflail Stories support the stats. Best combo is to have both. #sachat
12:59 am ARL275: @AndreaHart we record ID#s at events - compare GPAs and grad rates of students who attend to those who don't #sachat
12:59 am cindykane: @AndreaHart Way too much for 140 chars...want to connect on this via email? #sachat
12:59 am ARL275: @The_SA_Blog if we didn't have challenges, we might all be bored! they keep up on our toes and our innovation hats in style #sachat
1:00 am cindykane: Challenge: Enrollment up. Budget down. Started this whole rollercoaster understaffed to begin with. How do we ever catch up? #sachat
1:00 am debrasanborn: @ARL275 Very clever! #sachat
1:00 am AndreaHart: GREAT IDEA! RT @ARL275: @AndreaHart we record ID#s at events - compare GPAs and grad rates of students who attend to those who dont #sachat
1:00 am princeje: @ARL275 How do you manage to do that? #sachat
1:00 am The_SA_Blog: RT @ARL275: @The_SA_Blog if we didn't have challenges, we might all be bored! they keep up on our toes and our innovation hats in style #sachat
1:00 am jefflail: @cindykane @DebraSanborn I don't feel like you guys are catching my point :) I should blog about this idea... #sachat
1:00 am The_SA_Blog: RT @cindykane: Challenge: Enrollment up. Budget down. Started this whole rollercoaster understaffed to begin with. How do we ever catch up? #sachat
1:00 am edcabellon: Final thought: To remain relevant in Higher Ed convos, we need a focus on assessing what our students learn by working with us. #sachat

1:02 am debrasanborn: @jefflail @cindykane Sounds great! #sachat
1:02 am JGinese23: @edcabellon I agree! The more data we can show and statistics, the more backing (and budget) we can ask for and receive! #sachat
