Program Book
Greetings!
Welcome to Rockport, Maine and the beautiful Samoset Resort! I
am delighted that you have chosen to join us for the 2013 NASPA
Region I Conference. We hope you find opportunities to connect
with colleagues and friends, share research and practices, and explore
new ideas and innovations.
2013 Conference Committee
This week would not be possible without the hard work of the
conference planning committee. Their dedication and commitment
over the last eleven months has led to creative new initiatives,
including a smartphone app for the conference, poster sessions for
the first time at Region I, five lunch-and-learn pre-conference sessions, and an offsite reception
at the Farnsworth Museum. The programs chair, briana Sevigny, solicited over 135 program
submissions, a new Region I record. We are proud to present over 50 educational sessions
and 9 poster sessions covering a variety of balanced and diverse topics for professionals of all
experience levels and functional areas.
I would like to welcome Dr. Robert Johnson, President of Becker College, to our conference.
Dr. Johnson is a widely respected leader and educator who challenges his community to build
upon the pillars of global citizenship: academic excellence, social responsibility, and creative
expression. I am thrilled to have such an inspiring and gifted speaker open our conference.
Our conference will close with the voices of Dr. Elizabeth Allan, Dr. Cynthia Forrest, President
Theodora Kalikow, and Dr. Corinne Kowpak – four incredible leaders from the state of Maine.
I thank them for closing our conference with their words of wisdom and inspiration.
During our conference, I encourage you to take time to reflect on our work and profession.
Personally, I have found our regional conference a great place to re-energize and continue
the great work that we do. It is my hope that you are able to take that renewed energy and
inspiration back to your campus to influence your students and colleagues. As we strive to
improve ourselves, let us also strive to improve our communities and our world for all.
I hope you find your time here meaningful and well spent, and I thank you for your participation
and support.
Enjoy the conference and our time together. “Be Inspired!”

Welcome to NASPA Region I’s 2013 Conference!
On behalf of NASPA Region I’s Advisory Board, I
offer you a warm welcome to our annual gathering
of colleagues and friends for first-rate professional
development and networking, all presented by this
dynamic association we value so highly. NASPA Region
I is packed with talent, energy, and creativity, and I am
delighted that here in “The Pine Tree State,” we have the
opportunity to showcase the people, programs, and initiatives that make NASPA,
the Region, and the student affairs profession great. Congratulations to Greg
Jones (Boston College) and his Regional Conference Committee for their success
in carefully and thoughtfully developing these three remarkable days here at the
Samoset Resort in Rockport, Maine.
During the conference, you will hear from an impressive array of leaders in higher
education and student affairs. The program sessions all look rich and rewarding.
Laura Wankel (Northeastern University), Chair of NASPA’s Board of Directors,
is joining us here in Rockport. In addition to her distinguished career in the
profession, Laura is the first colleague from Region I to lead the association since
Jack Warner’s term in 1997-1998; we celebrate her leadership and her participation
in the conference.
The support of our corporate sponsors allows us to offer you a conference of this
caliber, so let me extend my sincere thanks to all our corporate sponsors for their
generous support of NASPA Region I, and especially for the innovative products
and services they provide to our campuses, our students, and our profession.
During the conference, please be sure to visit our sponsors’ booths, introduce
yourself, and pick up information to bring back to your home institutions.
While you are here, please make a point of talking with members of your Region
I Advisory Board about ways that you can engage in the Region and its events. A
first step is to “like” NASPA Region I at facebook.com/RegionI and to follow us
on twitter @NASPA_R1.
If you are a newcomer to Region I and the regional conference, a special welcome
to you! We have plenty of room in Region I for new talent, new energy, and
new ideas. If you are a regular attendee here at the conference, may you have an
especially valuable experience.
I look forward to meeting you during the conference and hearing your thoughts
about ways that we on the Region I Advisory Board can best support your
professional development. NASPA has enriched my professional life in countless
ways, and I am proud of my involvement with the association. I hope the same
is true for you. Enjoy your time in Rockport, and thank you for your support
of NASPA.
Regards,
David J. Zamojski

NASPA Region I Commitment to
Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity
As members of the conference committee, we aim to fully support NASPA’s commitment to
diversity, inclusion, and equality for all attendees. We strive to provide a space of affirmation
and recognition of various identities and their intersections, including, but not limited to,
race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression,
socioeconomic status, veteran status, age, and disability. Our goal is to create an environment
that demonstrates this commitment, from the inception of the conference committee to the
full culmination of the event.
We in NASPA Region I value programs, publications, and employee and membership
development that reinforce NASPA’s commitment to the core values of Diversity, Learning,
Integrity, Service, Fellowship, Spirit of Inquiry, Collaboration and Access. We welcome and
encourage open dialogue on what we as colleagues can do to further our commitment to these
values, improve our professional competencies, and effectively shape and serve our institutions
and students.

16 th Annual Silent Auction
The largest fundraising event of NASPA Region I is once again taking place here at the regional conference. The auction has raised thousands of
dollars since its inception, and its proceeds primarily support the annual SALT conference for undergraduate students. The auction also subsidizes
the conference costs for recipients of the Catch a Rising Star, Richard F. Stevens Outstanding Graduate Student, and Richard F. Stevens Outstanding
New Professional awards.
The conference committee is pleased to announce that three popular features from last year’s silent auction have returned. At the registration table,
you will have the opportunity to purchase cutouts of stars and salt shakers to honor a fellow colleague. Be sure to take advantage of this unique way to
say thank you! Secondly, the ‘Buy It Now’ Region I College Bookstore will be located in the Lighthouse Room off the hotel lobby. Here you will find
all the donations received from New England collegiate bookstores, where t-shirts, jackets, and other paraphernalia will be available for immediate
purchase. Lastly, you will also see the “Lunch with Legends” raffle table alongside the Auction, where you can purchase raffle tickets to win a chance
to spend some quality time with one or more of our local legends. Each legend will share not only his or her expertise, but also a meal!
The conference committee hopes for an exciting and creative auction, and our goal is to raise $10,000 to support the future of our field. Please
check out the various options, including the live auctions during the breaks. As we always say, bid high and bid often!

ineffective for maximizing their potential. This session will introduce new professionals to the concept of mentorship and how to get the
most out of a mentor.

The Senior Level Professional: Networking, Innovation, Inspiration, Rejuvenation
Rockport
- David Zamojski, Assistant Dean of Students, Boston University
NASPA has introduced a new professional level to the options available on the member profile. The senior level is defined as a professional who
reports to an Assistant or Associate Vice President or Chief Student Affairs Officer and has responsibility for the direction, oversight, and/or supervision
of one or more student affairs functional areas and/or one or more professional staff members. The senior level professional traditionally has
at least eight years of full-time professional employment. Join the conversation that began at last year’s Regional Conference in Mystic about ways
the region can effectively meet the training and development needs of senior professionals. This interactive experience will explore key questions facing
senior level professionals in student affairs: In what ways can we support each other? How can we be strategic and visionary in our roles? Where can
we find rejuvenation beyond the Regional Conference and the NASPA Annual Conference? What could be developed that isn’t already out there? The
conversation will be facilitated by senior level professionals in the region and is designed to begin building a network of senior level professionals and
develop a vision for senior level professionals’ training and development in the region.

- Francine Perry, Director of Community Services, New Hope, Inc.
Sexual assault is prevalent on campuses and its consequences are devastating for both the survivor and the community. Faced with this, as well
as expectations set forth by the Office of Civil Rights and the Clery Act, it is essential that colleges develop a coordinated community response
to sexual assault. Collaborative partnerships are a key component to such an approach.

Owl’s Head
- Dr. Gavin Henning, Director of Higher Education Administration and Doctorate of Education, Associate Professor of

system of working parts. In this how-to session, participants will learn the various elements of the assessment and practical assessment strategies

What our Surveys Inspired us to do for our Grad Population!

- Elizabeth Smith-Freedman, Assistant Dean for Academic Support Services, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences
How do Student Affairs professionals meet the needs of a student population that does not fit any traditional model? Our answer is to let the
students inspire us. Working with graduate students presents several rewards and challenges. When you add a layer of professional programs
and enrollment in accelerated programs, the challenges multiply. During this session we will share information on the strategies, programs, and
services that we have put in place to navigate these challenges.
