Title: What About Student Voice in Department and Program Level Spaces?

Presenters: Brittany Dillman (College of Education / CEPSE Department / MAET Program); Liz Owens Boltz (CED/CEPSE/MAET)
Candace Robertson (CED/CEPSE/MAET); Morgan Abb (CED/CEPSE/MAET)

Format: Workshop 

Description: 
In the spirit of diversity, equity, inclusion, and transparency, in 2019 the Counseling, Special Education, and School Psychology (CEPSE) Department in the College of Education created and launched a Student Advisory Council to elevate student voices and experiences. Each of the department’s program areas created a plan for recruitment and elections, responsibilities and bylaws. We then created processes for ongoing communication, relationships, and information sharing. Now, completing our third cycle with our processes established, our system is smooth, and our feedback loop present. How did we do this? What are the benefits? In our session, you’ll meet the departmental Student Advisory Council (SAC) representative from the Master of Arts in Educational Technology (MAET) program and the three program directors who have valued and worked with our student representatives over the last three years. We will share our stories and lessons learned. After we share our stories, we will help you create your plan of more inclusive student voices at the department and program levels. We will support you to create processes and procedures for establishing and maintaining a similar structure for your unit, sharing our frameworks and documentation.
