When you think of NACA, what is the first thing that comes to mind? For a lot of students and most associates and entertainers, that one thing is showcases. Often the highlight of the conferences, the showcases are an essential part of what NACA does and how NACA connects students to associates. Attend this session to take a peek behind the curtain of the Showcase Selection process. During this session, we will provide an overview of the selection process and provide tips, tricks, and best practices for submitting high-quality showcase applications. This is a great session for individually represented entertainers and associates who are newer to NACA. We hope to educate and better prepare all entertainers and associates to submit the best showcase applications and videos possible. |

"Helping Our Student Leaders to Be Effective in Navigating Power and Influence to Achieve Their Goals and Objectives" slides
Institution: The George Washington University
Author(s): Robert Snyder
Published: 4/2/2019
View Resource
|
Our experiences on our own campuses likely validate the findings of recent editions of the UCLA Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) Survey that today’s college students are the most likely to protest in half a century. Students are using their voices and, indeed, their power, to be part of and influence the institutional conversation on important issues.
Based on the presenter’s doctoral dissertation research on how student leaders navigate power and influence to achieve their goals and objectives, this session is an opportunity to learn how we as student affairs professionals can help student leaders to do so in the most effective way possible.
Through this webinar, participants will be able to: 1) identify why student power and influence are important to our students and our institutions, 2) describe how student leaders navigate power and influence to achieve their goals and objectives, and 3) employ methods to help student leaders navigate power and influence in the most effective way possible.
The webinar will use a combination of presentation to share the findings and recommendations of the research and discussion to encourage participants to share their reflections on the research and their own experiences related to the topic. |

Looking for a new way to collect data at your on-campus programs? With recent resource constraints, we must determine who is utilizing our programs and services, and who we are missing. This session will explain how Rutgers University Programming Association - New Brunswick utilizes interactive poster boards to find out what students they are reaching on campus, and how they are reaching these students (ex. Facebook, Digital signage, etc.). This technology-free method is a great alternative for schools that are interested in collecting data but do not have access to a student identification swipe system, or reliable wireless internet connection at events.

Show Up, Sign Up, Level Up: How to Create an Atmosphere of Involvement and Engagement presentation
Institution: University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Author(s): Veronica Riepe
Published: 2/17/2019

We are continually trying to find ways to get students involved. We promise social benefits, tout skills gained through participation, and even share data to prove why getting engaged on campus will be useful. However, this is often done in isolation within a single department. With this in mind, our team took a different approach and developed Show Up, Sign Up, Level Up, an initiative that combines the three pieces of involvement which applies to engagement while in college and is a process that students will utilize throughout life. How do students know if they want to join something unless they check it out first (Show Up). Once they have been to a few things, they can decide where they want to spend their time (Sign Up). Once they are involved, they will take on more responsibilities and learn new skills (Level Up). Come hear how this campaign has expanded to include other Student and Academic Affairs departments throughout campus.

The Dream in Practice Webinar Series - What’s Involvement Got to Do With Underrepresented College Students’ Success?
Institution: Do Good Work Educational Consulting LLC
Author(s): Dr. Terrell Strayhorn
Published: 1/23/2019
View Resource
|
Decades of empirical research have shown that involvement matters in terms of college student success. Students who are involved purposefully in meaningful high-quality experiences earn better grades, persist at higher rates, and feel better about their overall experience compared to less- or non-involved peers. More recent research has demonstrated that investing time and energy to collegiate activities (clubs/organizations), sports, fraternities, gospel choirs, and more fosters a strong sense of belonging for students, especially underrepresented groups. In this webinar, Dr. Terrell Strayhorn, author of College Students’ Sense of Belonging: A Key to Educational Success for All Students, shares his theory of belonging, new insights from the 2nd edition of his book, and highlights practical example of how we can promote involvement, foster belonging, and ensure student success on an array of college campuses!
At the end, participants in this webinar will be able to:
-Articulate the connection between students’ involvement in campus activities and student success
-Identify and describe the core elements of Strayhorn’s (2019) revised theory of belonging
-Draw linkages between involvement, belonging, and students’ sense of mattering
-List and explain at least three (3) ways to foster students belonging through campus involvement
-Recall and list at least three (3) experts or resources on the topic of involvement and belonging
-Apply information from the webinar to immediate practice in forming new or revising existing campus activities |
