7. Featured Artists
Viet Mai was born and raised in San Diego, CA by a single mother and two older brothers. He
learned early on how to entertain himself, using creativity and imagination to make sense out of
his surroundings. As a youth, Viet was interested in how the world worked--from the toys that
he dismantled, to the insects in his backyard. Since then, he has studied how the world works
through observing people, culture, economics, and education. Viet began exploring his creativity
by writing poetry while a student at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). With influences from
Ethnic Studies and Music classes, as well as lyrics from Hip Hop artists, Viet focuses his writing and
performing towards education, community development, self-reflection, and empowerment. Also
known as vKnowledge, Viet began performing spoken word around San Diego in 2001 at open
mics. As his talent and creativity bloomed, he was sought after as a featured poet at many
events and venues in Southern California, and he has appeared in venues across America. In an
effort to inspire others through art and culture, Viet is a co-host and organizer of San Diego's
largest Spoken Word event, ELEVATED. Ultimately, Viet's mission is to collaborate with community
members to educate, motivate, and inspire the youth through spoken word, art, and culture. He
has facilitated numerous workshops with various organizations and youth programs. After
obtaining his BA in Math-Computer Science from UCSD, Viet currently works at the MAAC
Community Charter School and the Village of Promise Collective Mentoring Project and continues
to edutain his audience as a member of Collective Purpose.
Simply Kat is anything but simple. Mother,

holds. Simply Kat has conducted dance and poetry workshops throughout schools, group
homes, and detention and rehabilitation centers for adolescents. She took on the role of coach
and slam master for the 2009 I. E. youth slam team, which competed at Brave New Voices,
and she continues to mentor. She has performed at colleges all over the nation with the intent
of empowering and encouraging expression through all platforms of art. She has written and
produced a one woman show entitled, CORNER SWEET, and was brought back to produce
another show entitled, HUMAN. Simply Kat has competed in numerous slams, winning spots
on the 2005, 2006, 2008 Hollywood Slam team, 2007 Los Angeles Slam team, 2009 Grand Slam
Champion San Diego, and 2009 West Coast Regional Grand Slam Champion. Simply Kat has
also performed for HBO Def Poetry Jam and opened up for such artists as Raheem DeVaughn,
Ryan Leslie, Mos Def, and Whitney Thompson (ANTM). She was featured in documentary called
Spit, and she has been seen on Current TV. She has been aired on radio stations from Alaska
to Hawaii. Now as Executive Director of her own nonprofit, The Project Center, Simply Kat is a
firm believer in adding as many tools as she can to her belt. With a children's book soon to be
published as well as a collection of poems, stories, and illustrations titled "Lay my Bones over
Spilled Milk,” she is limitless in her dedication to the arts.

celebrated band Black/Note. A passionate advocate of formal jazz education,
Castellanos regularly conducts high school workshops and is a lecturer at the

12. Professional Competency Areas
In July 2010, the NASPA Board of Directors and the ACPA Governing Board approved Professional Competency
Areas for Student Affairs Practitioners.
This set of Professional Competency Areas is intended to define the broad professional knowledge, skills, and, in some
cases, attitudes expected of student affairs professionals regardless of their area of specialization or positional role
within the field. All student affairs professionals should be able to demonstrate their ability to meet the basic list of
outcomes under each competency area regardless of how they entered the profession. Thus, this document is
intended to inform the design of professional development opportunities for student affairs professionals by providing
outcomes that can be incorporated into the design of specific curriculum and training opportunities. Additionally, if
student affairs professionals desire to grow in a particular competency area, they can examine expected learning
and skills in the intermediate and advanced levels. Such examination allows individual practitioners to use this
document to help guide their own choices about professional development opportunities afforded to them. In this
document, the terms “practitioner” and “professional” are used interchangeably. We expect that the contents of this
document will evolve in accordance with the needs of the profession and those whom the profession serves.
Advising and Helping
The Advising and Helping competency area addresses the knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to providing counseling
and advising support, direction, feedback, critique, referral, and guidance to individuals and groups.
Assessment, Evaluation, and Research
The Assessment, Evaluation, and Research competency area (AER) focuses on the ability to use, design, conduct, and
critique qualitative and quantitative AER analyses; to manage organizations using AER processes and the results obtained
from them; and to shape the political and ethical climate surrounding AER processes and uses on campus.
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) competency area includes the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to create
learning environments that are enriched with diverse views and people. It is also designed to create an institutional ethos
that accepts and celebrates differences among people, helping to free them of any misconceptions and prejudices.
Ethical Professional Practice
The Ethical Professional Practice competency area pertains to the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to understand
and apply ethical standards to one's work. While ethics is an integral component of all the competency areas, this
competency area focuses specifically on the integration of ethics into all aspects of self and professional practice.
History, Philosophy, and Values
The History, Philosophy, and Values competency area involves knowledge, skills, and attitudes that connect the history,
philosophy, and values of the profession to one's current professional practice. This competency area embodies the
foundations of the profession from which current and future research and practice will grow. The commitment to
demonstrating this competency area ensures that our present and future practices are informed by an understanding of
our history, philosophy, and values.
Human and Organizational Resources
The Human and Organizational Resources competency area includes knowledge, skills, and attitudes used in the selection,
supervision, motivation, and formal evaluation of staff; conflict resolution; management of the politics of organizational
discourse; and the effective application of strategies and techniques associated with financial resources, facilities
management, fundraising, technology use, crisis management, risk management, and sustainable resources.
Law, Policy, and Governance
The Law, Policy, and Governance competency area includes the knowledge, skills, and attitudes relating to policy
development processes used in various contexts, the application of legal constructs, and the understanding of governance
structures and their effect on one's professional practice.
Leadership
The Leadership competency area addresses the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required of a leader, whether it be a
positional leader or a member of the staff, in both an individual capacity and within a process of how individuals work
together effectively to envision, plan, effect change in organizations, and respond to internal and external constituencies
and issues.
Personal Foundations
The Personal Foundations competency area involves the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to maintain emotional, physical,
social, environmental, relational, spiritual, and intellectual wellness; be self-directed and self-reflective; maintain excellence
and integrity in work; be comfortable with ambiguity; be aware of one's own areas of strength and growth; have a passion
for work; and remain curious.
Student Learning and Development
The Student Learning and Development competency area addresses the concepts and principles of student development
and learning theory. This includes the ability to apply theory to improve and inform student affairs practice, as well as
understanding teaching and training theory and practice.

15. Turntable Sessions
Thursday, November 17, 2011
2:30pm - 4:15pm
#track01 Making a Case for Arizona Encore I
Tonantzin Oseguera (UC Riverside)
This session presents an opportunity to discuss NASPA's decision to keep its 2012 annual conference in Arizona and
feelings and thoughts about attending the conference. Also, the session presents an opportunity to become educated
about issues facing students and professionals in Arizona.
#track02 Focus on Small Colleges & Universities Encore II
Jeanne Ortiz (Whittier College)
Senior-level and mid-level managers on small college and university campuses will identify and examine current pressing
issues. Participants are encouraged to come and share thoughts, insights, and challenges in such areas as risk management,
diversity, mental health, family relations, fiscal planning, staffing, fundraising, enrollment, housing planning, and learning
outcome assessment. Learn new perspectives from colleagues.
#track03 Collaborations between Athletics & SA Encore III
Bruce Smith (Reed College)
This roundtable discussion will encourage exploration of the geographic and intellectual marginalization of college
athletes. The objectives of this discussion are to: (1) illuminate ways that student affairs divisions collaborate with athletic
departments to shrink the distances that often times separate athletic achievement from intellectual achievement and
social engagement; and (2) provide concrete ways to implement these ideas into student affairs programming.
#track04 Exploring Minority Identity Dvlpmt thru Song Imagine I
Shauna Young (University of the Pacific) & Analucia Lopezrevoredo (Portland State University)
This program examines the role of hair as a tool for self-expression and the role student affairs practitioners have in
cultivating a safe environment for growth and identity development. Using the song "I Am Not My Hair,” participants will
have the opportunity to reflect on an anthology of their own experiences and engage in dialogue regarding the five
stages of minority identity development theory.
#track05 Customizing the NUFP Mentor Relationship Satisfaction
David Daniels (University of Washington) & Dylan Yu (University of Washington)
This session will focus on mentoring relationships and connecting students to non-traditional opportunities for growth. The
presenters, a NUFP mentor and fellow, are the only two of their kind at a large public institution. Discussion will revolve
around mentoring relationships where formalized NUFP support is limited and connecting with off-campus resources for
student involvement activities.
Friday, November 18, 2011
10:30am - 12:15pm
#track06 Panel of Listeners Celebrate
Women in Student Affairs (WISA) Knowledge Communities
Panel of Listeners is a mentoring program for women (and people identifying as women) in student affairs. It provides
opportunities for seasoned leaders to meet with graduate students and new professionals to provide coaching on a wide
range of professional development and career issues. The program has been a success in helping to connect colleagues.
Find pre-registration materials on the conference website.
#track07 Tending the Spiritual Lives of Students Encore II
Carol Lundberg (Azusa Pacific University), Ramona Acuña (Azusa Pacific University), & Enika Tumanov (Azusa Pacific University)
Fostering the spiritual development of students is new territory for many of us, with only a few models to follow. After a brief
review of literature, participants will identify challenges and strategies for engaging students in respectful and authentic
spiritual exploration during the college years.
#track08 White Educators & Dismantling Racism Encore III
Leslie Webb (Boise State University) & Emily Pearson (Boise State University)
You are invited to participate in an inclusive round table discussion. Topics will include privilege, intersecting identities, and
multicultural competence. Interrupting racism, becoming more effective white allies, and examining our accountability in
institutional racism are foundational tenets of this discussion. This session will inform a qualitative study focused on white
identified educators in higher education.
#track09 Technology & the Future of SA Revolution I
David McCandless (University of Oregon)
The Rise of Generation C by Friedrich, Peterson, and Koster (2011) presents a compelling vision of technology's impact on
the coming generation of college students. This guided discussion will use the article as a starting point to explore the
larger implications of technology's impact on students and on our work as student affairs professionals, with a focus on
future practice.
#track10 College Men in Search of Themselves Revolution II
Michael Lovette-Colyer (University of San Diego)
What are the "man laws" that shape and direct the behavior of college men? How has their socialization limited their
freedom and potential for authenticity, intimacy, and fulfillment? While the struggles and needs of male college students
are well-documented, there is a need to engage a diverse range of college men in the critical reexamination of their
socialization.
2011 NASPA Western Regional Conference
16. Short-Track Sessions
Friday, November, 18, 2011
10:30am - 11:15am
#track11 #naspawr11 Conference Imagine I
Grace Bagunu (UC San Diego) & Petrina Loh (San Diego State University)
Participants will learn how to use Twitter to create their own digital anthology, a diverse collection of practices, priorities,
and values in our profession. Participants will have the opportunity to practice the basics and utilize advanced features of
Twitter to network and expand knowledge of student learning and success today and tomorrow. Create your Twitter
account and join us!
#track12 A Little (Assessment) Help from My Friends Imagine II
Lea Jarnagin (CSU Fullerton) & Michael Weisman (Campus Labs)
This session will explore the development of Cal State Fullerton’s Student Affairs Assessment Program – from forming an
assessment committee to articulating learning outcomes to creating and executing strategic assessments and sharing
results. We will focus on how the institution leveraged their relationship with Campus Labs (formerly StudentVoice) to
support their efforts. Participants will gain an understanding of how institutions can utilize external assessment support to
bolster the work of the division, and how the various tools and services available through Campus Labs could be leveraged
to support assessment efforts on campus.
#track13 Strategies for Staying Current in SA Encore I
Sherry Mallory (Western Washington University)
Student affairs and higher education are continually changing and evolving, as are the students we serve. Maintaining
knowledge of current issues and trends is, therefore, a critical part of the work we do as student affairs professionals. In this
session, the presenter will share a variety of strategies for staying current in student affairs, from social media to networking
(and beyond).
#track14 1st Gen Students’ Parents & Pre-College Prep Satisfaction
Jennifer Garza (San Diego State University / Claremont Graduate University) & Cesar Figueroa (UC San Diego)
Many parents of underrepresented, first-generation students do not have all the information they need to make fully
informed decisions on how to best assist their students at the K-12 level. The purpose of the presentation is to assist student
affairs practitioners by highlighting up-to-date research on how to better structure parent programs for underserved and
