I just started my role in Student affairs, on reflection while I was going through the training materials. I realized that in the next few months, I am setting goals for myself that will help my students and the community. Gaining knowledge is something, what do we do with the knowledge gained is another thing, how does this impact on the students, staff, myself and the community at large. What do I do with new knowledge and the anticipated challenges.
The knowledge gained will help me strengthened how to meet student needs, reduce risks, and create a supporting pathway.
Learning the frameworks and regulations relevant to my role is one of my goals, including accountability, student services guidelines and reporting requirements.
By doing so, start building relationships with key staff and departments to understand workflows. Apply new knowledge to real case scenarios.
