VICE PRESIDENT LETTER FROM THE

WINTER 2016

Dear colleagues, Every day, you continue to impress me with your dedication and passion to educate, engage, and enrich our students. A sure sign of this commitment can be found in results from the recent Student Affairs staff survey. I hope you were as pleased as I was that nearly every measure of satisfaction increased compared to the data from two years ago. In particular, the communications scores continue to rise. While communication continues to be a challenge for any organization, I’m pleased how well it scored with ours. We have so much to share with our students, faculty, and alumni, so we must not lose sight of our efforts to keep each other informed. One of the ways we can do this is through the Student Affairs Quarterly (SAQ).

As we think more about telling our division’s story, we continue to reevaluate how we communicate internally. In the future, you will receive division, department, and staff updates through more digitally friendly means as we evolve our SAQ. In this edition discover the latest updates from your colleagues regarding the Interfaith Strategic Plan, hazing prevention initiatives, and the Housing Master Plan. Read what Health Promotion and Wellness is accomplishing and marvel at the number of colleagues who self report their various volunteer leadership positions throughout numerous professional associations. Our divison has great stories to tell and I look forward to them all. Warm regards,

Patricia

HOUSING MASTER PLAN AND RENOVATION UPDATES 560 Lincoln, the first of five new residence halls in Northwestern’s Housing Master Plan, broke ground in November and is currently under construction on the north side of campus. Crews put up fencing around the site and are working on laying the groundwork for the building. Progress can be viewed in real time by watching a live video webcam. There are two sites that are being studied to construct two residence halls for a total of 540 beds.

Other construction projects currently underway include the renovation of Goodrich, 1838 Chicago (formerly home to Public Affairs Residential College or PARC), and Shepard Hall (formerly home to Shepard Residential College). These buildings are closed for the academic year, but are on track to reopen for fall 2016. Shepard Residential College and PARC are now permanently housed in the newly renovated South Mid-Quad and North Mid-Quad buildings.

WINTER 2016

INTERFAITH STRATEGIC PLAN (RELIGIOUS & SPIRITUAL LIFE) The Office of Religious & Spiritual Life is introducing a host of new programs including global trips, music festivals, campus-wide dinners and sustained dialogues as part of the new Interfaith Strategic Plan. “Interfaith” is an an inclusive term for the religious, spiritual and philosophical pathways that seek to establish meaning and purpose in life. Tahera Ahmad, Director of Interfaith Engagement and Associate Chaplain, talked about how college students especially are looking for opportunities to meet and learn about others in an increasingly diversifying and connected world. “Research from the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) suggests that many students are interested in seeking meaning and purpose in life, and in the spiritual background of their peers,” Ahmad said. “We want to create intentional spaces where students are able to bring their ‘whole identity’ and engage with their peers in a meaningful way.” The new strategy comes after meetings with Interfaith student leaders, religious and spiritual life community members at universities like Harvard and Yale, and reviewing current research on religious and spiritual life programs across the country.

Ahmad added that the U.S. is now considered the most religiously diverse nation in the world, and that Christianity is no longer the religious majority. Interfaith at Northwestern hopes to reach and connect people of all cultures and all or no faith backgrounds through a variety of new activities in the coming months, including: •

Chai Chats (Monthly, beginning March 15) Students can enjoy exquisite teas from around the globe and unwind in a cozy environment together, while reflecting on their spiritual journeys in a safe space.

Interfaith concert (April 3) - Sing along at this new philanthropic event featuring musical compositions from a spectrum of religions. This year, proceeds will support Syrian refugees.

Langar (Early May) - In collaboration with the Sikh students and community, the Religious & Spiritual Life office will host the first annual “Langar” at Northwestern. Traditionally, the “Langar” is an open invitation to a communal meal for everyone, regardless of the color of their skin, ethnicity, gender, or socioeconomic background. Students will have the

opportunity to collaborate and serve the meal together and enjoy a great evening of service. •

Wildcat Interfaith Month (May) - Explore the Interfaith community through recreational programs like interfaith dodgeball, intellectual forums and more.

Interfaith Global Trips (Begin spring 2017) These global trips will be exciting, out-of-classroom opportunities for students and staff to grow together in spirituality and competency through a physical journey in an international setting. Spring break will see the first group head to Turkey to look at how interfaith works in a modern, secular society with remnants of the Christian tradition.

BLACK HOUSE UPDATE

In August 2015, Campus Inclusion and Community (CIC) proposed to reconfigure its units in the Black House and the Multicultural Center. The move was considered a progression of CIC’s new vision. In its restructured organization, CIC aims to provide comprehensive support to all students the department serves while honoring their multiple and intersecting identities. There was also a practical need for this move. The increased number of staff had been outgrowing its current facilities, especially in Scott Hall. In this planned move, Student Enrichment Services and Social Justice Education would have been housed in the Black House (1914 Sheridan), and the majority of the Multicultural Student Affairs staff would be housed in the Multicultural Center (1936 Sheridan). The main offices

of Campus Inclusion and Community also would have been located in the Black House. After the student and alumni communities voiced their concerns for the moves into the Black House, Vice President for Student Affairs Patricia TellesIrvin suspended the office moves of CIC staff into the Black House. Throughout fall quarter, Student Affairs hosted four Black House Listening Sessions to provide an additional venue for feedback on the proposal. During these sessions, Northwestern students, staff, faculty and alumni shared their experiences related to the Black House and the significance of this space. The Black House Facility Review Committee, comprising students, faculty, staff and alumni, was formed to provide recommendations to the Vice President based on the feedback

they heard from the Listening Sessions. Charles Whitaker, Professor and Director of Student Affairs and Community at Medill and a Northwestern alumnus, chairs the committee. The staff who were due to move will remain in their current offices, and Campus Inclusion and Community leadership and the Vice President will determine the next action based on the recommendations of the Black House Review Committee. In the meantime, CIC continues to live its new model of intersectionality. All Black House Listening Sessions were livestreamed and are available to view online at www.northwestern.edu/ inclusion/about-us/blackhouse-facility-review/index. html.

FALL 2015

DINING’S REAL FOOD UPDATE Last year, the student group Real Food at NU (NURF) campaigned to convince the university to sign on to the Campus Commitment. This agreement states that Northwestern will source 20% of its food as “real food,” meaning food that is local, sustainable, just, and/or humane, by the year 2020. After months of meeting with the campus’ key decision-makers, NURF landed a meeting with President Schapiro and he instantly signed the commitment.

NURF now leads the implementation of this commitment via the Food Systems Working Group (FSWG). The FSWG is student-lead and contains representatives of all stakeholders in Northwestern’s food system: faculty, administrators, food service employees, suppliers, and students. The FSWG meets at least twice a quarter and has three main tasks:

1. Marketing progress and educating the student body about real food, 2. Creating Northwestern’s “Real Food Policy” and both mapping and tracking the progress toward the 20% goal, and 3. Conducting the actual research and sourcing of real food. NURF co-president, Kara Rodby said the group “plans to have multiple new real food items in dining halls for fall quarter of 2016. In addition, [NURF has] mapped a year-long marketing campaign in the dining halls, which will include informative signs about the pillars of real food, as well as Real Food Day once a quarter, so as to best educate the student body about what we are doing and why we are doing it.” Winter 2016 is the second full quarter working on implementation of this initiative. “We are excited to continue the momentum we have and the great partnerships with Student Affairs, Northwestern Dining, the Office of Sustainability,.” NURF’s other co-president, Miranda Cawley said. “I have faith in our ability to reach the 20% goal, but I also think we can go beyond it.

HEALTH PROMOTION AND WELLNESS: Fully-Staffed and Ready to Help Health Promotion and Wellness (HPaW) has shifted into growth mode after a year of significant transition due to staff vacancies, the addition of new positions, and construction to build new offices. Now fully staffed, a multi-year strategic plan for expanded student wellness initiatives guides continued growth in programs and services under the leadership of Lisa Currie, the Director of Health Promotion and Wellness. Additionally, a second, three-year, $300,000 federal grant to address sexual violence prevention and

response supports many activities through the Center for Awareness, Response, and Education (CARE). Health Promotion and Wellness oversees a growing number of alcohol and other drug prevention efforts and is laying the foundation for new wellness efforts around physical and mental health promotion. Angela Mitchell, Coordinator of Alcohol and other Drug (AOD) Prevention, capably oversees the AOD interventions of BASICS and Group Education, consistently

adding improvements to enhance the student experience and learning outcomes. The majority of students who engage in these interventions, though most often referred as a result of a conduct incident, report a positive experience and that they learned a great deal. Mitchell is also collaborating with Athletics to implement a multi-year AOD curriculum tailored to the unique needs of student athletes, including a group program titled “Drinking Culture Close-up” which examines the impact that substance use has on the team’s culture. HPaW has launched a new peer education group, Wildcats Advancing Total Campus Health (WATCH), out of what was previously the Red Watch Band bystander intervention training program. This is overseen by Kevin Meier, who was hired in May 2015 for the new position of Coordinator of Alcohol and other Drug Education and

Outreach. WATCH, currently in training during winter quarter, will continue to offer Red Watch Band and will create new workshops as the year progresses. A data-driven social marketing campaign has been developed in collaboration with Student Affairs Marketing (SAM) and launched recently with a focus on first year students. This group is at increased risk of alcohol-related harm due to a dramatic increase in their overall consumption during their first quarter on campus. Kevin will continue to work with SAM to expand the campaign over time to address additional student populations. Both Angela and Kevin are engaged in prevention trainings and outreach efforts to student groups, and faculty and staff as well, as the department’s strategic plan is implemented along with recommendations from the Community Alcohol Coalition’s Summary Report from September 2015. This includes the launch of an alcohol and other drug-focused training later in the year, which will aid participants in more effectively referring students to appropriate assistance. CARE is an organizational subunit of HPaW, with three staff members who all joined Northwestern in the last year.

Erin Clark, Assistant Director of CARE since March 2015, serves as the federal grant coordinator and advisor for the SHAPE peer education group, and focuses primarily on implementing prevention efforts on sexual health and violence prevention. She has been working closely with Multicultural Student Affairs recently to better understand the needs of Black and LGBTQA communities as it pertains to sexual violence. Survivor advocacy and response has been a key part of CARE’s services since it was founded in 2011. Carrie Wachter has served as CARE’s Coordinator of Sexual Violence Advocacy and Response Services since December 2014 and is the lead survivor advocate, providing confidential advocacy and response services to students who are survivors or partners and friends who are concerned. Her expertise on traumainformed response has led to several excellent trainings for various staff groups who support survivors. Paul Ang, CARE’s Coordinator of Men’s Engagement since July 2015, focuses primarily on engaging men in sexual violence prevention, as they play a critical role in challenging existing social norms around masculinities and the role norms play in perpetuating sexual violence. He oversees the

Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault (MARS) peer education group and coordinates the Step Up bystander intervention training along with Campus Inclusion and Community. He, along with Erin, also serve as confidential survivor advocates. Collectively, the work of all HPaW and CARE staff members contributes to a healthier campus environment. Given the collaborative nature of addressing student well-being, their effort connects in some ways to virtually every corner of the Student Affairs division as we collectively strive to support student learning and success.

HAZING PREVENTION AT NORTHWESTERN Utilizing data from the Northwestern University Hazing Survey Report 2014, a survey that compiled responses from more than 480 full-time students, a task force has developed new resources to help the Northwestern community better understand what hazing is, how to report it, and most importantly, how to prevent it. Prompted by Vice President Patricia Telles-Irvin, the task force began meeting Winter 2015 and has developed three new initiatives it hopes will stimulate dialogue around hazing and create a community that will prevent, rather than respond to these incidents.

Hazing Definition

The Stats

Philosophy Statement

From the Northwestern University Hazing Survey Report 2014, which compiled data from more than 480 responses from full-time students • Given a list of activities required to join or maintain membership in an organization, nearly one in five (19%) of the Northwestern respondents reported they had experience at least one hazing activity.

It is the responsibility of all students/student organizations to encourage an atmosphere of learning, social responsibility, and respect for human dignity and to provide positive influences and constructive development for members and aspiring members. Students/organizations are expected to use good judgment to determine the abilities of individual students as they relate to organization activities and requirements. If a healthy team or organization is being created and the values and purpose of the organization are being upheld, chances are the organization will not have to worry about whether or not an activity is hazing. Hazing leads to dysfunction within the organization and is ineffective at creating teamwork, respect, and unity, and it is an unproductive and hazardous custom that is forbidden by the University.

The hazing activities most frequently mentioned include the following: ∑∑ Participate in a drinking game (16%) ∑∑ Attend a skit night or roast where other members are humiliated (9%) ∑∑ Be deprived of sleep (8%)

When asked to rate their agreement or disagreement regarding an number of beliefs about hazing, Northwestern students were the most likely (4.5 on a 5.0 scale) to agree with the following statement, “I do not need to be hazed to feel like a part of a group or team.”

Hazing is defined as any action taken or situation created, intentionally or unintentionally, whether on or off University premises and whether presented as optional or required, to produce: mental, physical, or emotional discomfort; servitude; degradation; embarrassment; harassment; or ridicule for the purpose of initiation into, affiliation with, or admission to, or as a condition for continued membership in a group, team, or other organization, regardless of an individual’s willingness to participate.


11

FALL 2015

Coming Soon

Hazing 101 ‘Gut Check’ Questions

• A new Hazing Prevention website will soon be launched.

Ask yourself these questions to determine if an activity/ process might be unhealthy or even hazing: • Would I do this in public? In front of my parents? The university president? For local news or the school paper? • Is this required of all members or just new ones? Are expectations of current members less than those of new members? • What happens if it is not completed by a new member or a current member? Are the consequences more severe for the new member? • What is the purpose of this activity? Is it in line with the purpose of the group? Is it the most effective way to achieve this outcome? • Does this separate the new members from the rest of the group or make them feel less important? • Could this be potentially harmful? • Would I ask a member of my family, such as a younger brother or sister to be a part of this? • Does this process truly prepare the new member for what they need to know to be a part of the organization?

∑∑ Launching this quarter, the new website will be a one-stop shop to understanding the four R’s of hazing: Rights, Responsibilities, Resources and Reporting. •

Training and outreach to the student organization community ∑∑ Campus Life will lead training on how to recognize and prevent hazing, with particular attention to officer transitions and recruiting/onboarding new members

Community conversations on hazing prevention and building community ∑∑ Faculty, staff, group advisors, students leaders and more will have the opportunity to ask questions or talk about the traditions and practices of their organizations in a comfortable, learning space at monthly meetings led by members of the task force

Staff can share a concern on the NUhelp app or website. If you have questions about what could be hazing or would like to discuss tradition/practices or need assistance in improving the effectiveness of your organization’s new member orientation process, please contact hazingprevention@northwestern.edu.

NCA

Winter at Northwestern Career Advancement Winter quarter started off with a whirlwind of activity at Northwestern Career Advancement (NCA): The TwoDay Winter Internship & Job Fair on Jan. 12 & 13 brought more than 120 employers to campus. Companies and organizations in attendance included Shedd Aquarium, Colgate-Palmolive, US Department of Justice, PepsiCo, Accenture, Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Visa and Teach for America (see the #NUWinterFair16 Storify: storify.com/nucareeradvance/ northwestern-2016-winterinternship-job-fair). Representatives from dozens of companies and organizations continued to visit Northwestern throughout January and February to host information sessions for students. NCA is excited to partner with other departments, schools and student groups on campus to offer three more fairs this winter and spring: The Energy & Sustainability Fair (hosted by NCA, NESC and ISEN) on Feb. 17, The Global Health Resource Fair (hosted by IPD/Global Health

Studies, NCA and others) on March 7, and the Startup Fair (hosted by NCA, Kellogg, EPIC, and others) on March 30.

10 Years of the Summer Internship Grant Program The Summer Internship Grant Program (SIGP) – now in its 10th year – will begin accepting applications Monday, Feb. 15 through Tuesday, April 5. SIGP was established in 2007 to support Northwestern undergraduate students participating in unpaid internships. While its primary

focus is to fund students pursuing an unpaid internship or summer experience in a field that traditionally does not offer paid internships, it also serves as a career development program. The program has grown tremendously since its first year when 10 students were awarded grants of $2,000. Last year, 255 students were awarded grants of at least $3,000 to participate in unpaid summer experiences – the highest number awarded in SIGP’s history.

WINTER 2016

Alumni-Student Programs Now Featured on NCA Webpage NCA’s partnership with the Northwestern Alumni Association has resulted in a variety of year-round programs that allow students to connect with Northwestern alumni to advance their professional development, explore career paths and network. This winter, NCA launched a new “Connect with Alumni” webpage that summarizes these programs

and their benefit to students. This winter, students had the opportunity to register to job shadow a Northwestern alumnus in the spring as part of the annual Northwestern Externship Program (NEXT), practice interviewing skills with alumni as part of the Winter Alumni-Student Mock Interviewing Program and connect with alumni working in various industries over dinner as part of Dinner with 12 – Industry. Students networked with more than 120 employers in a range of industries over two days at the Northwestern Winter Internship and Job Fair. Photo: Student Affairs Marketing

WILDCARD SWIPING NOW AVAILABLE Looking for an easy way to know who is—or isn’t— attending your programs or activities or using your services? In an effort to enhance our assessment opportunities, Student Affairs Assessment has purchased five Wildcard swipers (also known as card readers) for use in the Division of Student Affairs. The data collected using the swipers can be used to: • Better understand the demographics of attendees or participants •

Send attendees a program evaluation survey

It is good ethical practice to give students a short explanation of why we are asking them to swipe and what we are going to do with the information. If the program/ activity is voluntary, students should be given the opportunity not to swipe. If the program is mandatory (e.g., an Essential NU), swiping can be required as the method to track student participation.

Swiping should not be done with groups less than 15 or when the students are attending an activity, event, or meeting that may be sensitive in nature, like a “coming out” discussion sponsored by the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center or a meeting of “survivors” in CARE. Why? If groups consist of less than 15 students, students may be easily identified. Students exploring various aspects of their identity and/or who have had certain experiences on campus may want to remain anonymous. Finally, because we are not asking for consent, the information gained from swiping cannot be used to conduct any research or assessment project that is human subjects research. Contact Student Affairs Assessment to determine if you are unsure if your planned assessment might be human subjects research. To utilize the swipers: 1. Reserve a swiper by contacting Kelly Iwanaga Becker (kib@northwestern. edu) or Mary Desler (m-desler@northwestern. edu) in advance of your event.

2. Connect the swiper via USB port to a laptop or other computer, and open an Excel file. 3. Make sure the cursor is in the first cell, and swipe the Wildcards. You should see something like this in the Excel file: FirstNameLastName/ 1234567. The next card swipe will populate on the next row of the Excel spreadsheet. 4. Once data is collected, send data to Student Affairs Assessment for information on the demographic profile of your participants. 5. Once data is sent to Student Affairs Assessment, it should be de-identified as soon as possible (i.e., id number should be separated from name and information will be reported only in the aggregate) excepting data used to maintain a roster of attendees. 6. Return the swiper(s) to Student Affairs Assessment as soon as possible after your event.
