addi)onal research to help par)cipants looking to enter a graduate prepara)on degree
program.

Conven)on.
Next Gen is a unique opportunity for approximately 100 undergraduates to learn about
careers in student affairs. Par)cipants will meet and learn from current graduate
students, graduate prepara)on program faculty, and seasoned student affairs
professionals who work at a variety of colleges and universi)es. This is a great way to
explore the profession and gather informa)on you need to plan your future.

Program Session Two
Backpacks to Briefcases: How to Succeed While Moving from a Student to a
Professional Room 210/230 Lindsey Henderson, McDaniel College
Many students struggle moving from textbook learning to applying material from the
classroom to the fluid, real world professional workplace. Preparing them for this
transi)on will help them thrive and feel confident in the skill sets necessary to stay
afloat in this new environment. This presenta)on will outline the skills that
employer’s value most from early graduates, professionalism in the workplace and
the informal skill sets that will help a new graduate through their first several months
in a posi)on.
What's Next? A Conversa�on on Transi�oning from Undergrad to
Professional Room 261 Mary Wahl, Goucher College
Kasey Quinn, Goucher College
Reflec)ng upon their own experiences, Kasey Quinn and Mary Wahl will present on
their paths of entering the field of higher educa)on. Using engaging games and
thought-provoking exercises, Kasey and Mary will encourage undergraduate students
to incorporate flexibility into their plans as they transi)on into the professional world.
The presenta)on explains how higher educa)on provides a solid founda)on for many
career paths and leads to surprising new career ideas.
Crea�ng the Next Genera�on of Student Affairs Professionals Room 270 Edward Wright, Mount St. Mary's University
Christopher Wild, Mount St. Mary's University
Many ins)tu)ons u)lize student leaders to help manage everything from the day-to-
day opera)ons to large scale events. Through a strong development program,
student leaders rise to next level, gaining the ability to grow and mature. This also
results in stronger paraprofessionals who feel responsible for and take pride in their
role at the ins)tu)on. This session will explore, how one office transforms its
student leaders and gives them the experiences to easily transi)on into new
professional staff members.

Do you keep hearing about professional associa�ons, but you're not sure
what they are? Professional associa)ons are smaller groups of individuals within the larger profession
of student affairs. Associa)ons may be based on type of interest, region or
division. Consider joining a professional associa)on in your field(s) of interest - or at
least check out its website. While not all associa)ons have membership op)ons for
undergraduates, many may be willing to help you find a mentor in your field of
interest. As of 2011, ACPA's undergraduate membership is just $29 per year.
News, blogs, twi$er - O, My! Blogs and higher educa)on news websites can be a great way to figure out from
different perspec)ves both what's going on and what it's like to work in the field of
student affairs.
