NASPA

FROM STUDENT ACTIVIST TO DEAN OF STUDENTSDr. Maria Blandizzi currently serves the UCLA campus as Dean for Students, a role she assumed in July, 2014. As Dean for Students she has responsibility for programs and services that directly support the success and wellness of all UCLA’s students. These programs and services include: the Office of Student Conduct; Fraternity and Sorority Life; the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) Campus Resource Center; Case Management Services; Student Legal Services; Parent and Family Programs; and the ADA/504 Compliance Office. Additionally, the Financial Wellness Program; Respondent Support Services; the Deputy Title IX Administrator; and the administrative support team for the organization all report to her.

Maria Q. Blandizzi, Ed.D.

She is the chair of the Consultation and Response Team, whose primary focus is to consult with faculty and staff when a student might be in crisis; respond to students in crisis; and educate campus on how to recognize signs that a student may be in distress. She also chairs the Economic Crisis Response Team, a service geared towards the support of students experiencing a financial crisis that impacts their continued success.

Dr. Blandizzi is constantly focused on addressing the complex issues impacting student services and programs, campus climate, and community relations. Maria is committed to serving students pursuing higher education and has spent her entire professional career working within the University of California system, having served in professional roles at UC Irvine, UC San Francisco, UC Office of the President, and UCLA.

Maria identifies as a white, straight, cis-gender, able-bodied woman raised in a working-class, immigrant family who found their home in Los Angeles, California. She believes her role as an institutional actor and educator is not to proffer easy answers. Instead, it is to take a stand and to invite learning. She promises to do her part, not as a senior administrator dictating what others shall do, but as a fellow member of the community, trying to do the right thing and calling on all of us to relentlessly strive for an inclusive, socially just society.

Audience: Undergraduate Students; Prospective Graduate Students; Current Graduate Students

You are invited to come learn about: the goals of Semester at Sea, what does life look like as a professional working with students on a ship, how each country provided a profound impact on the shipboard community, and much more.

SESSION C

UNPACKING OUR AAPI IDENTITY IN GRADUATE SCHOOL (AF 206B)Speakers: Pryscilla Truong, Cypress College; Kathy Dong, UC Irvine; Louisa “Isa”, Coastline College; Dean Steckman, Los Angeles City CollegeWhat does it mean to be an Asian American or Pacific Islander student in a master’s program? Higher education focuses heavily on the racial identity development of undergraduate college students. However, little attention is given to how this identity impacts AAPI graduate students as they navigate a new environment. Four graduate students from CSU Long Beach’s SDHE program will share their journey in unpacking their AAPI identity through the lens of the model minority myth, saving face, community solidarity, and positionality while in a masters program. Participants will understand the experiences of AAPI professionals as they navigate a masters program, learn about their unexpected challenges, and engage in a community discussion about their own future. We hope to provide a safe space for participants to share their concerns and raise awareness of what is to come when they begin graduate school. For those who are graduate students, we hope the space serves as a place where they can share their feelings and concerns if they find commonality in the challenges and storytelling. Audience: Undergraduate Students; Prospective Graduate Students; Current Graduate Students

USE WORDS WISELY - (IN)VISIBILITY OF NHPI COLLEGE STUDENTS IN AAPI STUDENT SPACE (AF 209B)Speakers: John Bacolores, Chapman University; LooLoo Amante, University of Southern California/Long Beach Community College/California State University, Dominguez Hills; Taulau Tupua, Claremont School of Theology This session focuses on individual NHPI college students’ perspectives on AAPI culture centers and their impact on NHPI ethnic identity development. The actual history of the AAPI terminology will provide context on how Asian Americans became more prominent, essentially making NHPI students feel invisible. Together, we will devise a feasible action plan by analyzing NHPI disaggregated data, my participants’ reactions, & suggestions to make campus communities more NHPI-inclusive moving forward. Audience: Undergraduate Students; Prospective Graduate Students; Current Graduate Students; New Professionals; Mid-Level Professionals

WHY DOES CULTURE MATTER? BUILDING CULTURAL HUMILITY AS A LEADER (209C)Speaker: Laura Igram, Biola University Research shows that teams are most effective when they harness members’ cultural differences for good. As a leader, how do I know how differences in diversity impact my team? How can I help my team thrive? Using group discussion and activities, this session will explore ways in which cultural differences show up on teams. Participants will reflect on their own cultural identities and learn from real life examples of how cultural humility can help them navigate differences with others. Audience: Undergraduate Students; Prospective Graduate Students; Current Graduate Students; New Professionals Graduate Students; New Professionals; Mid-Level Professionals

NASPA

FROM STUDENT ACTIVIST TO DEAN OF STUDENTSDr. Maria Blandizzi currently serves the UCLA campus as Dean for Students, a role she assumed in July, 2014. As Dean for Students she has responsibility for programs and services that directly support the success and wellness of all UCLA’s students. These programs and services include: the Office of Student Conduct; Fraternity and Sorority Life; the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) Campus Resource Center; Case Management Services; Student Legal Services; Parent and Family Programs; and the ADA/504 Compliance Office. Additionally, the Financial Wellness Program; Respondent Support Services; the Deputy Title IX Administrator; and the administrative support team for the organization all report to her.

Maria Q. Blandizzi, Ed.D.

She is the chair of the Consultation and Response Team, whose primary focus is to consult with faculty and staff when a student might be in crisis; respond to students in crisis; and educate campus on how to recognize signs that a student may be in distress. She also chairs the Economic Crisis Response Team, a service geared towards the support of students experiencing a financial crisis that impacts their continued success.

Dr. Blandizzi is constantly focused on addressing the complex issues impacting student services and programs, campus climate, and community relations. Maria is committed to serving students pursuing higher education and has spent her entire professional career working within the University of California system, having served in professional roles at UC Irvine, UC San Francisco, UC Office of the President, and UCLA.

Maria identifies as a white, straight, cis-gender, able-bodied woman raised in a working-class, immigrant family who found their home in Los Angeles, California. She believes her role as an institutional actor and educator is not to proffer easy answers. Instead, it is to take a stand and to invite learning. She promises to do her part, not as a senior administrator dictating what others shall do, but as a fellow member of the community, trying to do the right thing and calling on all of us to relentlessly strive for an inclusive, socially just society.

Western Careers in Student Affairs Day | 2019Chapman University

GRADUATE SCHOOL ADVERTISEMENTWelcome to Western Regional Careers in Student Affairs Day!

We are so happy that you have chosen to join us today. Whether your goal is to explore the field of Student Affairs, connect with other graduate students here today, or learn more as a new professional, we are glad you chose to attend.

The WRCSAD Advisory Board is a group of experienced Student Affairs faculty and professionals who have, over the years, provided advice to the campus coordinating committee. This year, we celebrate Chapman University and the WRCSAD Planning Committee, under the leadership of Chris Hutchison! They have done an amazing job, and we are certain you will have a productive and inspiring day.

This year marks the 29th anniversary of our first Careers in Student Affairs Day. We will see a transition this year as the WRCSAD program moves under the umbrella of NASPA Region VI. Planning has already begun for next year’s program! We will gather for the 2020 WRCSAD at Claremont Graduate University on October 10, 2020. If you would like to be involved in the planning, please let someone know at the NASPA table during lunch.

Have a wonderful day today! Ask lots of questions, find a mentor, get good advice…and have fun!
