6 January 30, 2014 Greetings SDA Preview Days Attendees: On behalf of the Seattle University Student Development Association (SUSDA) Executive Team, I am elated to welcome you to the Student Development Administration (SDA) program s 2014 Preview Days Experience! My name is Keisha Jackson and I am the Chair (aka President) for SUSDA. We are honored to host you on campus during the next two days. Kjirsten and Michelle have planned a fantastic program with each of you in mind. Please enjoy the hospitality of Seattle University (SU) and the SDA program. We are glad you have chosen to invest your time in us by coming to campus. Now, let us invest our time in you. We know that choosing a graduate program and/or a graduate assistantship is an important personal and professional decision. Therefore, we encourage you to take the time while you are here to engage any member of our community about their SDA experience and what it has meant at this point in their journey. Ask critical, thoughtful questions and get the answers you need to discern your next step. The program prides itself on having an engaging and caring student community. SUSDA (pronounced, Sue - Sta ) is how we support the holistic needs of our diverse and one-of-a-kind graduate community. More information about SUSDA along with a full listing of our events and programs is provided on page 92. But in short, SUSDA is a group to which all enrolled students in the Student Development Administration (SDA) program belong. While all students are members, there are also opportunities for intentional engagement through various positions, committees, or organic community building efforts. I want to highlight a few of our student leadership and involvement opportunities. Our new igroup programming series began this academic year after the student community expressed the need for deeper dialogue and safe spaces around several identities. The groups are: Faith & Spirituality, First Generation/Socioeconomic status, Men & Masculinity, Queer Students, Students of Color, White Students, and Women in Higher Education. Additionally, there are committees focused on community development, internship & networking, professional development, MAGIS (our student development journal) and the end of the year graduation celebration. We also have a fall welcome BBQ, a spring time end of the year BBQ, and quarterly socials. We hope that during your Preview Days experience you feel that your voice is heard. We are here to listen, share, and support you as you make this significant decision about how and where you will spend the next few years of your life. Take the time to decide for yourself if SU and SDA are the fit for you. Regardless of your final decision, we are glad we could join you on this journey and know you will make the best decision possible. Keep calm and grad school on!

12 SDA FACULTY PROFILES Erica K. Yamamura Associate Professor (206) Dr. Erica K. Yamamura, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Student Development Administration Program at Seattle University. She teaches the following courses: Student Development Theory, Research and Practice, Student Development Capstone Seminar, and The American Community College. Prior to coming to Seattle University, Dr. Yamamura was an Assistant Professor in Educational Leadership, College of Education at Texas State University. After completing her doctoral degree, she served as a Scholar-in-Residence at Carleton College in the Department of Educational Studies. Dr. Yamamura received her BA, MA, and Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles. She approaches teaching from an assets-based community perspective (Freire, 2004; Hooks, 2003; Yosso, 2005) that privileges underrepresented and underserved voices, encourages cross-cultural dialogue, fosters research literacy, and engages students in meaningful self-reflection. She views the classroom as the foundation of a learning community with students as co-constructors of knowledge, engaging their history, professional experiences, and future as student affairs leaders. Her research agenda centers on the intersection of diversity and equity in P-20 education. While K-12 and higher education research are often fragmented and have key distinctions in terminology and theory (cultural responsiveness vs. diversity), Dr. Yamamura has worked in the gray spaces bridging K- 12 and higher education, examining partnerships, transitions, and community engagement that links these two areas. In particular, in these spaces her work strives to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for historically underrepresented students. She has co-authored multiple book chapters and articles which have been published in peer-refereed journals of high national reputation, including Educational Studies, Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, and The High School Journal. She currently serves on the editorial board of The Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice. She also enjoys working with graduate students to build their skills in assessment and research. At present she is working on three research projects with graduate students in the SDA program: 1) Examining the Pipeline into Student Affairs for Diverse Students 2) First Generation College Students Experience in Jesuit Higher Education 3) Chief Diversity Officers in the Community College Setting When she is not hard at work, she enjoys exploring local taquerias, international travel, and spending quality time with her husband, newborn daughter, and Shih-Apso doggie.

15 SEATTLE UNIVERSITY OVERVIEW ENROLLMENT 7,422 students; 63% are undergraduates 95% of undergraduate students attend full-time 38% of first-year students are from Washington State 33% of all students are from ethnically diverse groups 9% are international students AVERAGE CLASS SIZE 19 students, all classes taught by faculty Faculty to student ratio: 1 to 13 HOW WE EDUCATE Excellent teaching, supported by high quality scholarship and personalized attention to student learning, ensures that intellectually challenging education is at the heart of our mission in undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. As a community of faculty and colleagues, in partnership with students, we seek a total educational experience encompassing the classroom, campus and community that develops competence, character, and leadership. The Jesuit educational tradition promotes independent critical thinkers informed by the humanities, open to finding and serving God in all things, and challenged by the Jesuit priority of "the service of faith and the promotion of justice" to address issues of poverty, injustice, discrimination, violence, and the environment in knowledgeable, committed, and effective ways. Inspired by the Catholic intellectual tradition, we encourage and assist all students to explore their relationship with humanity, nature, and God; we provide all members of the university community the means to deepen the understanding of their faith; and we identify ourselves as a university that welcomes and promotes free dialogue among persons of diverse religious and intellectual traditions. The mission of Seattle University will thrive to the extent that all persons within the university engage one another as collaborative colleagues, that our boards guide us in informed and committed ways, that our friends and the wider public take pride in, support, and call upon the services of Seattle University, and that our alumni manifest the fulfillment of our mission in their lives and professions. Seattle University is the most racially and culturally diverse, the most genuinely urban, and the largest multidisciplinary independent university of the Northwest. Utilizing these three assets for the education of our students and the service of society presents opportunities unique to Seattle University.

16 SDA ACADEMIC PROGRAM OVERVIEW STUDENT DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION A nationally recognized program that promotes education of the whole person as the cornerstone of the student affairs profession. The Master s Degree in Student Development Administration is designed for those who want to work with college students outside of the formal classroom. Creative educators are needed in all post-secondary institutions throughout the United States and increasingly in other countries. Nationally recognized for its education of the whole person, this program fosters understanding student diversity, ethics and values, and the ability to adapt to specific educational environments. PROGRAM HISTORY The master s program in Student Development Administration admitted its first students in 1992 and graduated its first class of students in The program began as a collaborative effort between the Student Development Division and the School of Education. The program was proposed by the Vice President for Student Development, Dr. Jeremy Stringer, who worked with the faculty in Education to draft a program proposal that would meet faculty standards. Dr. Stringer became the program director in 1992 and continues in that role today. The program had strong administrative support from the beginning, especially from the president, Fr. William J. Sullivan, S.J., and the dean of the School of Education, Dr. Margaret Haggerty. Two other administrators from the Student Development Division played pivotal roles in developing the initial program, Dr. Dale Nienow and Dr. Nancy Gerou. Dr. Nienow drafted many of the initial course descriptions, taught in the program, and served as chair of the program s advisory board. Dr. Gerou was instrumental in beginning graduate assistantships for the program, and served as the graduate assistantship coordinator until her retirement in OUR JESUIT CONNECTION As one of a handful of similar programs in Jesuit universities in the United States, the Student Development Administration is proud of its connection to Jesuit education, a tradition that is over 450 years old. The Jesuit educational tradition is remarkably congruent with the main principles of the student affairs profession. Jeremy Stringer, program director, and Erin Swezey, coordinator of the SDA internship program, have delineated the relationship of Jesuit higher education to the master s program in a journal article, The Purpose of a Student Affairs Preparation Program Within Jesuit Higher Education, which appeared in the December 2006 edition of Catholic Education: A Journal of Inquiry and Practice.

20 SDA SKILL CLUSTERS The following skill clusters form a framework around which professional and academic experiences of the Student Development Administration (SDA) program can be built. The SDA program thrives on the holistic education of its students. The SDA program achieves the holistic education of its students by placing a strong emphasis on four themes: (1) Understanding Students, (2) Understanding & Fostering Diversity, (3) Spirituality, Ethics & Values, and (4) Environment & Culture. The SDA program faculty work with assistantship and internship supervisors, alumni and colleagues to help students learn and practice specific competencies needed for success as a student affairs professional. It is our hope that students leave the program having acquired skills and competencies in each one of the following six areas. Professional Citizenship Student Interactions and Development Advising Programming Training Development Recruiting and retaining Supervising Working with diverse populations Leadership and Management Gaining insight Group and organizational development Designing and implementing programs Financial management and budgeting Integrating leadership theory to practice Building and enacting vision Ethical decision making Immediate decision making and crisis management Compiled by Nancy Gerou, Bridget Kelly and Colin Stewart Format and skill areas basis adopted from Experiential Learning Skill Dimensions, (1996) by Pamela K.

21 WHAT MAKES SEATTLE U. DIFFERENT? ACADEMIC ADVISING Each SDA student is assigned an academic advisor from the faculty. The academic advisor serves as a resource to students for academic issues or concerns. Additionally, each faculty member coordinates a unique component of the experience (e.g. internships, graduate projects, etc.) enabling you to work closely with the entire program faculty. JESUIT EDUCATION Jesuit education means more than acquiring knowledge. The Jesuits believe what you do with that knowledge is just as important. At Seattle University, SDA students are encouraged to grow personally and spiritually, testing their values, developing a sense of responsibility for themselves and their community, and learning about making ethical choices in their lives. This experience as a reflective practitioner ties well into the pillars and values of the student affairs professionals. M.A. OR M.Ed. The SDA program is one of few that offer students a Masters of the Arts and Masters of Education tracks. Each track has advantages depending on your future career and educational goals. GRADUATE STUDENT MENTORS The SUSDA organization pairs first-year students with current graduate student mentors. Graduate student mentors serve as a resource for first-year students regarding all aspects of the SDA program experience academics, assistantships, internships, SU, and the greater Seattle community. SDA LISTSERVS An based listserv keeps the SDA community connected. Alumni, friends of the SDA program, faculty, current students, and other institutions of higher learning announce job or internship opportunities via the listserv, as well as professional development conferences, speakers, and workshops pertinent to the student affairs profession. FALL ORIENTATION A fall Graduate School orientation allows first-year students the opportunity to become more acquainted with SU, the SDA program, and their class of students. The orientation will last for an afternoon and includes faculty, the Division of Student Development, course registration, and other workshops to address the adjustment to graduate school. ANNUAL SUSDA RETREAT The annual Student Development Administration graduate student organization, SUSDA, facilitates an annual retreat that brings new students and continuing students together. This retreat focuses on community building, answering questions related to the program, and offers students an opportunity to meet and develop deeper connections with each other. Seattle University Student Development Administration 19

22 WHAT MAKES SEATTLE U. DIFFERENT? GOING GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY Part of being a global citizen includes understanding other cultures and structures in other countries. Many of our students have studied abroad and maintain an active interest in international issues. All of our students are encouraged to become familiar with educational and social issues in other countries. Every two years, the SDA program offers an education abroad course in Comparative and Educational Policy in Uppsala, Sweden. THE MAGIS JOURNAL The MAGIS serves many purposes to the SDA community. The student-run scholarly journal provides a venue for students to publish and edit their own and others writing. This is a wonderful development opportunity for current students to refine their writing skills and be featured in a publication. INTERNSHIPS While some students maintain an assistantship for two years, each SDA student will gain experience through 300 hours of internships in other departments or institutions some even internationally. These internships allow students to explore other role models, programs, and work settings while earning credit toward their degree.

23 RIGHTS AS A GRADUATE APPLICANT MAKING A DECISION: RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES AS A GRADUATE APPLICANT 1. The Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) has established the date of April 15 th as the date by which schools can ask for a binding commitment from prospective students who are offered graduate assistantships. Although SU is not a member of this organization because we technically have no graduate school, we voluntarily comply with this date. 2. All those who are offered graduate assistantships have until April 15 th to make a decision. We encourage students to make an earlier decision, if possible, but in good faith we do not require it. 3. The offers for GA positions are typically made by GA supervisors. All supervisors are aware of this date and are strongly urged to comply with it. 4. The ACPA Commission on Graduate Preparation takes this date very seriously. Members frequently take it upon themselves to "out" schools that violate it, and even encourage potential graduate students not to attend those schools. 5. This date works both ways. We are fully within our rights to expect that all students will inform us of their binding decisions by this date, and not ask for extensions. Because most leading preparation programs now have a version of our Preview Days, it is increasingly common that applicants looking nationally will have multiple GA offers. All such students are encouraged to narrow their list to no more than two schools as quickly as possible and notify all the schools they are no longer considering. Students should also notify every school that has admitted them immediately upon accepting an offer. As we all know, student affairs can be a surprisingly small and well-connected community, and students applying to graduate school have begun the process of building their professional reputations. WHAT DO YOU DO NOW? Now you weigh your options and make an informed decision. How did you feel about your campus visit(s), the faculty and prospective students, and the academic courses and requirements? What options do you have? This is an important decision. What feels like a good fit for you? Where do you want to go? If you are offered a graduate assistantship, fellowship, or scholarship, remember that you have until April 15 to accept that offer.* You have until April 15 to make a binding commitment to accept an offer, even though you may decide that it is wise to accept an offer much earlier.* Seattle University Student Development Administration 21

24 RIGHTS AS A GRADUATE APPLICANT So I can take as much time as I want on this? FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS You are entitled to the time you need up until April 15. But this right comes with some responsibility. We want you to accept or reject offers in a timely manner and this may well be before April 15. In most cases, if you decline the offer, it will be extended to another student. You might find yourself waiting on someone else to decline an offer so that it might come to you. The idea here is not to relinquish any privilege you have to wait, but if you know, then go ahead and act. After April 15, the institution has the right to rescind the offer of financial award.* While we want you to carefully consider your options, it is not usually necessary to hold more than one offer at a time. If you are lucky enough to entertain multiple offers, consider letting go of all except the one in which you are most interested. This way, other candidates are able to receive offers and schools stand a better chance of filling their positions with their preferred candidates.* What if I want to commit earlier than April 15? Offers of financial support may be made at anytime. However, we cannot insist upon a response to the offer until April 15. If you are ready to commit to an offer, you may do so at any time and are encouraged to do so. You should not accept an offer, however, if you are unsure of your intentions to honor it.* You will quickly learn that the student affairs field is a fairly small profession. Most of us are just one or two degrees of separation from each other. A cavalier attitude about your responsibilities to colleagues and classmates can come back to haunt you. Likewise, a less-thanethical approach toward dealing with prospective students can give an institution unwanted negative press. * By honoring the April 15 th Common Response Deadline everyone wins.* *Excerpted from: Liddell, D. L. (2011). Getting to YES : A guide to your rights and responsibilities as a graduate applicant. ACPA Commission for Professional Preparation.

95 EXPLORING SEATTLE SEATTLE, WASHINGTON Seattle, known as "The Emerald City" - and, unofficially, as "the coffee capital of the world" - has something for everyone. As you plan your trip and conference schedule, we encourage you to make time to explore the city, engage the culture, and extend your experience to visit the surrounding areas. EXPLORING THE CITY Downtown Seattle offers a wealth of sights, sounds, and flavors... You'll find many fun options for sightseeing within a few minutes of Seattle University. Visit the world-famous Space Needle, learn about the city's past by taking an Underground Tour, explore rare music memorabilia and artifacts at the Experience Music Project, take in the views of Elliott Bay from the 10th floor of the architecturally-acclaimed Seattle Public Library, spend a few hours wandering through the Seattle Art Museum, or stop in to see the new "Windows on Washington" exhibit at the Seattle Aquarium. Taste some local flavors - fresh seafood, Seattle-roasted coffees, local wines and beers, and organic, farm-fresh ingredients - and watch fish fly at the 100-year-old Pike Place Public Market. Explore the city's vibrant culinary scene through a Savor Seattle Food Tour. Or, check out the restaurants of local chefs Tom Douglas, Kathy Casey, and Ethan Stowell, who was named a 2008 Top New Chef by Food & Wine Magazine. Venture beyond the urban core and explore some of Seattle's exciting neighborhoods. From the hip and lively Ballard, to the diverse and colorful International District, Seattle's neighborhoods feature many inviting shopping, dining, and cultural options. Explore the cafes and music scene of Capitol Hill, the quirky public art of Fremont, or the 19th-century architecture and commanding city views of Queen Anne. Take a walking tour of historic Pioneer Square, the birthplace of modern Seattle, or visit the Woodland Park Zoo in Wallingford. Shopping opportunities range from trendy boutiques in Belltown to the farmers' market in the University District. Outdoor activities abound even within city limits: Seattle's beaches, trails, forests, parks, and lakes allow for outdoor recreation without a lot of travel time. ENGAGE IN THE CULTURE Seattle offers visitors a host of exciting and varied cultural activities... Unique museums, galleries, and public art celebrate the spirit, history, industry, and people of the Northwest, including the many racial and ethnic communities that contribute to Seattle's rich cultural landscape. An array of live music - classical, jazz, opera, blues and alternative - is played on the street and in clubs, churches, and major concert venues. Nationally recognized theater productions are often matched by local plays staged by cutting-edge theater companies. Seattle University Student Development Administration 93

96 EXPLORING SEATTLE Seattleites are avid readers and spend many hours browsing in bookstores and libraries and attending readings by local authors. Seattle is also one of the most educated cities in the nation and is home to several two- and fouryear colleges and universities - Seattle University being one of the premier in the West, according to U.S. News and World Report. EXTEND YOUR EXPERIENCE Extend your experience geographically to the North, South, East, or West - or experientially to another culture. For a change of pace from city life, travel north to the beautiful islands of the Puget Sound, where bookshops and breathtaking scenery are found beyond the next bend in the road. Or, head to Vancouver, British Columbia, host of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Travel west to the temperate rain forests of Olympic National Park, with its verdant valleys and ancient cedars. Or east, where nationally recognized vintners wait to tempt you with their awardwinning wines in the Columbia Valley, Yakima Valley, and Walla Walla Valley. If you're headed south, visit the Museum of Flight, one of the largest air and space museums in the world. Or, take a train to nearby Tacoma and its amazing Museum of Glass. Weather permitting, venture further south to Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument or the majestic Mount Rainier. You don't need to go far to learn more about the indigenous peoples of the region... Begin with the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture (on the University of Washington Campus) and the Seattle Art Museum's collections of Indian art and artifacts. Then pay a visit to the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center in West Seattle's Discovery Park. Farther flung museums throughout the area reflect the heritage and cultures of local tribes, including the Duwamish, Snoqualmie, Muckleshoot, Tulalip, Puyallup, and Suquamish, whose leader - Chief Seattle - was the city's namesake. Additional information can be found in the Seattle Convention and Visitor Bureau's Native Heritage Guide. You can also learn about the significant Asian and Scandinavian contributions to this region by visiting the Wing Luke Asian Museum, the Seattle Asian Art Museum, the Museum of History and Industry, or the Nordic Heritage Museum. Additional information can be found on the Seattle Convention and Visitor Bureau's Cultural Tourism website. Have enough to do? We know you won t be able to experience everything while you are here for the short time, but you have the opportunity of committing two or more years to what Seattle has to offer.

99 LIVING IN SEATTLE Finding a new home is not easy, especially as you are making decisions concerning work and school, and possibly moving to a different place. In the next few pages, resources and information are provided to help ease your search. APARTMENT COSTS (MONTHLY) Below is a table of apartment costs around Seattle University. Prices may vary, so use this table as an estimate for the type of apartment that you are looking to rent. Size Capitol Hill/First Hill Beacon Hill Central District Studio $950 $1,995 $575 $825 $977 $1,295 1 Bedroom $1,395 $2,345 $875 $1,119 $1,200 $2,250 2 Bedroom $2,445 $3835 $1,000 $1,400 $1,550 $2,330 Source: apartments.com NEIGHBORHOODS First Hill The home of our main campus and known to many as "Pill Hill," it is also the site of several hospitals, many of them nationally recognized. The area earned its name because it was one of the first established neighborhoods in Seattle. To secure housing in this area, drive around to spot "room for rent" signs and apartments in the charming homes built on the hill. Capitol Hill Just north of First Hill and the main campus, this is one of Seattle's most lively and diverse neighborhoods. Houses, apartments and mansions surround the popular Broadway shopping area where you can find vintage clothing, book boutiques and several cafes. The Asian Art Museum is tucked away in Volunteer Park, a large community hub offering a dog park and a Conservatory. Beacon Hill El Centro de la Raza helps give the neighborhood its soul. The "Center for the People" celebrated their 40 th anniversary in El Centro since has created vital programs used by thousands of Latinos and other minorities. Its food bank serves several hundred local families a week. Its daycare center offers a bilingual education to preschool children. The center also offers English classes, an employment placement and job development program and houses other community-based groups. The neighborhood's ethnicity is remarkable, even for Seattle. Fremont This artsy neighborhood known as "Funky Fremont" is filled with great shops and 50's and 60's kitsch (check out the statue of Lenin and the Fremont Rocket). This wonderful spot has not yet been discovered by tourists and is truly a Seattle community. The Sunday Fremont Market is well known in the area. Finding an apartment in Fremont can be a challenge. Seattle University Student Development Administration 97

100 LIVING IN SEATTLE Green Lake It is the location of one of Seattleites favorite spots. The lake itself takes over most of the community leaving only a few square miles for its inhabitants. For the fitness buff, there is a 3-mile paved trail around the lake for walking, running and rollerblading. It is where people go to see and be seen. International District This is a vibrant inner-city neighborhood, where vegetable markets spill out onto the sidewalks and barbecued ducks hang in shop windows next to strips of crispy pork. Herbal medicine shops promising restored health vie for space and attention with florists, gift shops, noodle joints and a jumble of Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese restaurants. As an older generation of merchants slowly retire or die, new immigrant families, many from Southeast Asia, come to the International District. They come for the inexpensive housing and the chance to start a business, as the first wave of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino did decades earlier. Mt. Baker To the south of the Central district and First Hill overlooking Lake Washington, the Mount Baker neighborhood combines charming older homes with sweeping views of Mount Rainier and Lake Washington. This politically active community of 3,500 residents, in the heart of Rainier Valley, is one of Seattle's most economically and racially diverse neighborhoods. Queen Anne Hill 456 ft above sea level, Queen Anne is home to one of Seattle's most fashionable neighborhoods. Named after the Queen Anne style homes built by early residents, the hill borders the Seattle Center built for the 1962 World's Fair. Great restaurants, shops and theaters are just a few of the benefits here. Room for rent signs and postings at the local markets are great ways to find a place to share. University District Known to us locals as the "U-District", it is the home of the University of Washington. For the most part, the neighborhood is composed of students who rent houses, apartments and mother-in-law flats in the area. The U-District is filled with activity as students fill its coffee shops and bookstores. Wallingford Centrally located near recreation and points of interest, this residential community offers the feeling of being a little town. Located on the other side of I-5 from the University District, it is also home to many students. Apartments are snugly located between houses and condominiums.
