A Student at Every Table BY: Bailey Parnell We’re all here for the students and it’s important we are delivering our services in ways that connect with them. Who understands students better than students? This is why it’s important we incorporate them in the decision-making processes of student affairs. Using real world examples, those who attend this presentation will understand why having a student at your table is necessary and will learn easy ways to incorporate them into the decision making process. What’s important is that we believe in the value of their opinions. I will explain how this concept benefits both the student and the student affairs portfolio.
