DSP Department Leaders Forum

The DSP Department Leaders Forum

The DSP Forum provides an opportunity for monthly conversations about the happenings in your department, with your career trajectory, within your administration, and with your students. The forum is a chance for networking in a safe environment for social support, information sharing, seed-plantings, and idea generation.

• Forum Format
  The forum allows for you to learn and discuss matters that directly affect your department. Each forum will be scheduled to allow for both education and open discussion.
  Format participants will assist in generating the agenda for the next forum. We will continue conversations on the DSP Community platform.

• Forum Calendar
  In addition to having the opportunity to discuss the departmental impact of current events, the forum allows for department leaders to continue discussions generated at both the Department Leaders Summer Institute (June of alternating years) and the Annual Meeting’s Department Chairs Breakfast (November).

Spring: March, April, May

Fall: August, September, October

Winter: December, January, February

• Topic: Student expectations and experiences
  

  College can be both an exciting and stressful time for students. In some cases, students enter their programs with preconceived notions of what undergraduate or graduate education is like. Envisioning their academic experience may be even more difficult as students return to campus from online and hybrid learning environments. To help students be successful, it’s important to understand what they expect from their program and to communicate what the program expects from them.

  Join fellow DSP leaders as we discuss the changing academic landscape and resulting shifts in student expectations. This is an opportunity for departments to share how they manage student expectations.
