USD Student Affairs Presentations at NASPA
Five of the sessions being presented at the NASPA Western Regional Conference held in San Diego are led by USD administrators. Here is the conference schedule (naspa2011.ucsd.edu/schedule.php) which begins on Thursday, November 17 and runs through Saturday, November 19. The five USD sessions include three on programs supporting our male students: "College Men In Search of Themselves" (Michael Lovette-Colyer), "Teaching Men to Align Values" (Mandy Womack and Jason Schreiber), "Improving Male Help-Seeking Behavior" (Melissa Halter and Chris Burden). Moises Baron is presenting on "Building a Continuum of Care for Students". Justine Darling, Sean Horrigan, Dayanne Izmirian and Marie Minnick are presenting on "A Restorative Justice Lens".

Residential Life Update
While retention efforts continue to increase around first-year students, much work is also being done to provide second-year students with fantastic learning opportunities. One of the highlights of our Second Year Experience program is the SYE abroad trip that occurs during the three weeks of intersession each year. Last year, groups of students, faculty, and staff members travelled to Oxford, Florence and Barcelona.
During the entire month of November, the Student Life Pavilion Exhibit Hall will be displaying photos taken by SYE students that capture the work and experience they took part in during their time abroad. 13 students submitted close to 30 photographs and students were given the opportunity to vote for which photo they felt was the best. On Thursday, November 10 at 5pm, the photograph with the most votes will be announced during a reception held in the Exhibit Hall. Everyone is welcome to attend! These pictures will remain on display until the end of the month. Please take some time to stop by to see some of the fantastic images of our students’ experiences.
Please send any news or events for the upcoming week to Kenny Eng by Wednesdays at 12pm to be included in this newsletter.
