Professional Development
The mission of the Student Affairs Staff Development Committee is to provide opportunities for the Student Affairs staff to facilitate the development of professional and personal growth. These opportunities integrate staff into the division, strengthen sense of community, encourage cross-departmental collaboration, and recognize exemplary work while enhancing the division and the University.

- Oversee the development and implementation of the Student Affairs kick-off, holiday celebration, and end of the year celebration
- Oversee the development and implementation of the new awards process
- Develop and implement the new mentorship program
- Provide professional development opportunities for staff
- Develop a professional development day for the entire division
