Good morning, Illinois! We have another newsletter full of happenings around the region -- webinars, program proposal requests, blogs, MLI & STARS participant announcements, and book clubs. What an incredibly active and awesome association! Let me quickly draw your attention again to an Illinois-only opportunity. Past president Josh Lawrie invites institutions or groups of institutions to consider preparing a bid for the 2018 conference!!! Please see the details below and discuss the possibilities with your colleagues.
All the best, Aaron Copley-Spivey 2018 Conference BidsAs you all know, GLACUHO’s Annual Conference is hosted by a dedicated contingent of our membership that volunteer their time, energy and commitment to the association to provide an excellent professional development experience for their colleagues. Since we awarded the honors of hosting our 2017 conference to the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis when we were in Flint in November, it means our hosting cycle now turns to the State of Illinois for 2018!
It’s the busiest time of the year, which usually means the most stressful time of the year. As a live-in professional, stress is present in your work year-round. This survey captures the live-in professional’s experience to find out – what (if anything!) has us burned out, and what can be done about it? 
How do you effect individual change, and how do you navigate transitions as an individual in a changing organization? In this webinar, will take a look at a variety of individual change theories that may assist you in enacting a change in your life. We will also look at Bridges’ Transition Model as one way to consider how individuals manage transitions during periods of change. 
The 2016 GLACUHO Summer Book Club! The Professional Foundations Committee is sponsoring the 2016 GLACUHO Book Club. This year's selection is "Start With Why" by Simon Sinek. We will be exploring themes of communication, motivation, and purpose for people to thrive in online discussion forums and in a Webinar on June 28. Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? Start With Why, by Simon Sinek, is a book in which the author explains how to inspire with ideas. The golden circle, the celery test, and the split test are three ideas that Sinek talks about regarding how to get people to follow one's idea. Sinek's argument is that people will believe in one's idea if they are given a reason to. Within Student Affairs, we often have to explain our why in a multitude of ways. Do you know what your why is personally, for your department, for your institution or for your field? This book challenges you to explore your “why” and use it as inspiration. |
"Dialoguing About Mental Health"Blog Series AnnouncedOn the 15 of every month, the Health and Wellness Committee will post a new blog about a different mental health topic. Blogs will offer a scholarly article and discussion questions. We want to share our victories, challenges, ideas, thoughts, and best practices on the topic of mental health so that we can better serve our students. Get ready to start "dialoguing" with the Health and Wellness Committee!!! Upcoming Blogs: June 15: Depression 
The Programming & Development Committee is excited to announce the 2016 Call for Programs in preparation of the annual conference in Cincinnati, Ohio. Our host institution, the University of Cincinnati, is preparing for another outstanding conference, and the Programming & Development committee is again dedicated to providing a strong programmatic component to complement the host committee’s work. 
The programming and development committee wants to make it easy for GLACUHO members who want to present a program but are seeking a co-presenter. To help facilitate finding interested people, we have created a co-presenter forum on the GLACUHO website. Please use this forum to seek or offer presentation ideas and information. To participate, all you need to do is share your name, contact information and program topic. Then visit the forum to find others who are interested. |
