Annnnnnnnnnnd my #NASPAStrategies20 is officially underway! No better way than to start it for me than with the #NCSC! 😁

I'm probably WAAAAAAAAY more excited than I should be to get my hands on the newly (today) published @DEAHQ resource #PreventionWithPurpose: A Strategic Planning Guide for Preventing Drug Misuse Among College Students from @Rich_Lucey! 😬🤯🤩🤓

#deacampus #NASPAStrategies20

Quick #NASPAStrategies20 break to meet with new manager (& old pal) Jacob Goldberg of @Tulane's soon coming #CollegiateRecovery Program!

SUPER excited for what's to come & how we at @LA_Regents can help champion the cause!

Hear from him & @oursoutheastern's CRP at #LaHEC2020!

We've already had the pleasure of hearing @NASPADavid's boisterous laugh as he kicks off the opening session of #NASPAStrategies20! 😂

The work that you all do in this space is absolutely critical to student success. - @NASPApres

Yes!!!!! @NASPApres brought up his point about the impact of mental health & substance use among graduate and professional students --- and that we do not have enough resources. #NASPAStrategies20

Annnnnnnd the Opening Session with Dr. @jjfreydcourage is underway! #NASPAStrategies20

Taking away control from the survivor is harmful. - @jjfreydcourage #NASPAStrategies20

Cherish your truth-tellers. - @jjfreydcourage #NASPAStrategies20

Ask yourself this: despite my good intentions, am I causing betrayal? - @jjfreydcourage #NASPAStrategies20

Even when it's not your fault, you can still have the courage to do something about it! - @jjfreydcourage #NASPAStrategies20

Gearing up for the first breakout of the day with Dr. @ShawnteElbert & Dr. Charla Blumwell.

#NASPAStrategies20

I kept looking for research on ME -- and seeing nothing. - @ShawnteElbert #NASPAStrategies20

Feel free to #GoogleMe and #CiteASista! - @ShawnteElbert #NASPAStrategies20 😂😂😂

Dr. @ShawnteElbert's story looks verrrrrrrrry similar to mine! #NASPAStrategies20

My squad is AMAZING and consistent. They consistently check me AND they consistently motivate me in the same way. - @ShawnteElbert #NASPAStrategies20

I'll bring the table with me ... you ain't got to make room--- it's okay. - @ShawnteElbert #NASPAStrategies20

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

And now some background on Dr. Charla Blumell! #NASPAStrategies20

(She's hilarious by the way!)

Pay does not validate the great work that we do -- but it does impact recruitment in hiring. - @ShawnteElbert #NASPAStrategies20

When you're confident and competent, be careful that you don't allow yourself to become the dumping ground. Protect yourself and energy. - Dr. Charla #NASPAStrategies2020

Agreements are better than expectations, because both parties have input. - Dr. Charla #NASPAStrategies2020

Don't just collect people to be mentors! - Dr. Charla #NASPAStrategies20

In the words of my grandmother: Three people ain't gonna tell the same lie. - Dr. Charla #NASPAStrategies20 🤣🤣🤣

Wrap-up before the Q&A! @ShawnteElbert #NASPAStrategies20

My Q (because @ShawnteElbert and I have extremely similar research): What was the most affirming thing you learned -- that you're "not crazy?"

A: That's just it -- "I'm not crazy, this isn't in a vacuum and others feel like me" and the expectation to mentor.

#NASPAStrategies20

I'm past the point of waiting for buy-in at this point!

🗣 THAT PART!

My return on investment of being vulnerable (putting myself out there to connect with other WOC) has been so well worth it. - @ShawnteElbert #NASPAStrategies20

EXCELLENT session by @ShawnteElbert & Dr. Charla! #NASPAStrategies20

I already KNOW this follow-up convo with Dr. Shawnte will be 🔥

#StayTuned 👀😎

Ready for the 1st session after lunch with Rae Chaloult. #NASPAStrategies20

I don't have the full citation yet but I'm willing to bet some beignets that this is another one of Dean @Rwmitch's scholars... Dr. Sara C. Wooten being quoted during a #NASPAStrategies20 presentation!

My 1 Action Plan item will be to review the structure of our bystander intervention scenarios to look for racial bias so that the scenarios are culturally relevant for students of color. #NASPAStrategies20

The first three "big moments" of college prevention being discussed in today's session: (1) #JustSayNo, (2) #BingeDrinking and (3) the @NIAAAnews #ACallToAction. #NASPAStrategies20

Annnnnnnnnd @Rich_Lucey gives a great #GoldenGirls reference! 🤣🤣🤣

#NASPAStrategies20

(4) First iPhone-- changed how we consumed info and what got captured, (5) H1N1 aka "Swine Flu" -- it shows what happens when we actively invest in prevention, (6) Marijuana Legalization.

#NASPAStrategies20

When people said they were "smoking grass" in the 70s, it practically WAS grass at 1.5% THC content. We've been at double-digit THC content since 2010.

Avg. THC potency in U.S. is 13.18% ... and in Seattle?

21.62%

(Anything over 10% counts as "strong")

#NASPAStrategies20

Want to do good suicide prevention?

Do good alcohol prevention.

Want to do good mental health programming?

Do good alcohol prevention. - paraphrased by #JasonKilmer #NASPAStrategies20

(7) the College AIM Matrix & (8) the Opioid Crisis

#NASPAStrategies20

🗣 Data drives prevention! - @Rich_Lucey

YES! This is what we share with our #LaHEC institutions & community partners: yes, we CAN talk about opioids but we will STILL talk about alcohol, cannabis & stimulants as well -- because THAT'S what OUR data says.

#NASPAStrategies20

Opening Reception fun at #NASPAStrategies20 means I get to hang out with our #LaHEC liaison Russell from the @ULM_Official Counseling Center!

It's awesome to see so many Louisiana folks at one of my faves!

Now just to find Dr. Tommy Ponson from @NichollsState again! 😂

Kicking the morning off with the @jedfoundation for day 2 of #NASPAStrategies20 talking about student mental health for diverse populations.

Environmental scans are hugely important when looking to monitor potential sites of suicide ideation.

Are the roofs locked? Are there high garages with no fences? Nearby bodies of water? - @jedfoundation
#NASPAStrategies20

Google the HEMHA Postvention Plan (a guide on what to do after a campus suicide) and review your campus' policies. #NASPAStrategies20

Students of Color are experiencing our campuses very differently than their White peers. - @jedfoundation #NASPAStrategies20

Equity in Mental Health Framework for Supporting Students of Color via the @jedfoundation & Domaim Considerations for Diverse Students.
#NASPAStrategies20

One of my FAVE parts about #NASPAStrategies20 is when it collides with my @LA_Regents work -- connecting & bridging relationships for our #LaHEC institutions.

This morning? Connecting @Ahmed_Hosni03 of @OhioStateCRC with @Tulane's Jacob Goldberg (manager of their coming CRP).

Next up? A literal 4-in-1 that captures the heart of #NASPAStrategies20!

First up is VP John M. Stein from @GeorgiaTech on the Mental Health angle. #NASPAStrategies20

And now Dr. Elle Shaaban-Magaña
from @UofAlabama on the Sexual Violence Prevention angle. #NASPAStrategies20

Some awesome things going on that @UofAlabama! #NASPAStrategies20

Super excited to hear about @ncatsuaggies' #CollegiateRecovery Community (CRC) from Dr. Vivian Barnette --- as they're the first established CRC at an #HBCU! #NASPAStrategies20

#OneHillman #WeAreSouthern 💙💛 #NCAT

There are some AMAZING things going on in the #CRC at @ncatsuaggies!!! MAJOR kudos! #NASPAStrategies20

Y'all.

I'm seriously having a #fangirl moment here -- this is amazing at an #HBCU! This is major as HBCUs are commonly underrepresented and left out in some conversations around #CollegiateRecovery

Great job @ncatsuaggies!

#NASPAStrategies20

So cool! The thought that goes into adaptability for an #HBCU for #CollegiateRecovery is critical--- and @ncatsuaggies has done it!

Including their band & offering something for their #GHOE (Greatest Homecoming On Earth) is BRILLIANT! #CulturalRelevance

#NASPAStrategies20

Now the ONLY dispute I have with Dr. Barnette of @ncatsuaggies is her "number 1 band" comment.

As an alum of THE @SouthernU_BR and proud fan of THE @SU_HumanJukebox, I'll RIGHTFULLY (🙃) disagree!

#OneHillman 💙💛 #NASPAStrategies20

Back at it Dr. @ShawnteElbert & Dr. Charla --- and this time with Kristina Mereigh! #NASPAStrategies20

Not ONE of my previous campuses tapped me on my shoulder to move up-- but they all noticed my impact once I was gone. - @ShawnteElbert #NASPAStrategies20

Glad Kristina highlighted the point that sometimes higher ed dismisses those who have community-focused backgrounds when new/fresh people are looking to break into our field. #NASPAStrategies20

Who is giving the charge to the search committee--- that's the pivotal point! ... and if you don't get what you're looking for, shut it down and start again. - @ShawnteElbert #NASPAStrategies20

Well maybe we need to look at how certain titles are perceived and may have to revisit some of those titles. - Dr. Charla #NASPAStrategies20

Glad that Dr. Charla hit on the need for the campus to help create community for new hires of color. #NASPAStrategies20

That was one of my fave things to do with the Black Faculty & Staff Caucus at @LSU. Kudos to @Rwmitch!

Community Orientation is also a recommendation in my doctoral research on how to help retain Black Women administrators at PWIs because it helps to make them feel connected to the broader community.

The absence of this makes leaving easier.

#NASPAStrategies20

Ex of Community Orientation:

A new, young Black woman #SAPro w/natural hair was having some challenges adjusting to her PWI's environment.

My Q: Have to found the HAIR STO yet, NOT Sally's?

Her: *laughs* NO! And that's probably why my nerves are bad. 😂

#NASPAStrategies20

I'm TIRED y'all. - @ShawnteElbert #NASPAStrategies20

🗣 Lisssssssssssssssssssssen!

Common Recruitment & Retaining Strategies and what you can do to help! via @ShawnteElbert, Dr. Charla & Kris #NASPAStrategies20

Another excellent #NASPAStrategies20 session by Dr. @ShawnteElbert, Dr. Charla & Kris!

Excited to see what Dr. Shawnte and I can come up with!

Next up is a panel discussion on the overlap of alcohol and sexual assault featuring Amaura Kemmerer, Jennifer Jacobsen & Shannon Bailie is being moderated by Jason Kilmer. #NASPAStrategies20

Some good background or context for today's conversation. #NASPAStrategies20

Sexual assault is NOT the fault of the victim/survivor... ESPECIALLY when they have been drinking. - Jennifer Jacobsen #NASPAStrategies20

A mix of strategies is always best. - Shannon Bailie #NASPAStrategies20

More incidents of mental health are reaching presidents' desk than ever before. - @WFURue #NASPAStrategies20

It's definitely something we've heard from our Louisiana presidents.

We recognize that caregiver burnout is real --- and that it can impact our employees. We offer free rec center membership to staff & faculty, walking groups, accessible stress management services. - @WFURue #NASPAStrategies20

Those who spend more than 2hrs/day on screen time are more likely to experience depression--- teens currently report spending up to 9hrs/day on their screens. - @WFURue from @jean_twenge's #iGen #NASPAStrategies20

So glad that we'll be having Peter Rives from @WakeForest at #LaHEC2020 to share about some of their award-winning initiatives with our Louisiana higher ed folks!

#NASPAStrategies20

As students report being part of more marginalized groups, the more their wellbeing score declines. Wellbeing requires equity! - @WFURue #NASPAStrategies20

The pathways cancel out the negative effects of the marginalization. So that means we need to fix the environment NOT the students. - @WFURue #NASPAStrategies20

One more time for the people in the back:

🗣 We need to fix the environment NOT the students.

#NASPAStrategies20

Peter Rives is in the audience & we've had THREE YEARS of DOUBLE-DIGIT DECREASES in student alcohol transports. - @WFURue #NASPAStrategies20

And THIS is exactly what Peter will be sharing with our #LaHEC2020 attendees in May!

Very cool to hear @NASPApres & @WFURue talk about the wellbeing of those who work in higher ed serving students. #NASPAStrategies20

Our commitment to other people's wellbeing has historically been more important than to our own. - @WFURue #NASPAStrategies20

(But, we're OFF that now! 😁)

We need more joy. @BrownUniversity has a Fun Committee--- we need to begin exploring more things like that. - @WFURue #NASPAStrategies20

And now it's some time with Kyle Pendleton of @ZTAFraternity & Dr. Molly Downing of the College of Pharmacy at @OhioState & the @hecaod. #NASPAStrategies20
#GenerationRx

Prescription stimulants still tend to be a drug of choice, for Greeks and non-Greeks. Most begin misusing prescription drugs during the 1st & 2and years of college.

@ZTAFraternity @hecaod

#NASPAStrategies20

The top 5 reasons of why each of pain medication, sedatives and stimulants are used all include a desire to get high.

@ZTAFraternity @hecaod

#NASPAStrategies20

Some best practices for partnering with Fraternity & Sorority Life.

@ZTAFraternity @hecaod #NASPAStrategies20

Collaboration at its finest! Awesome partnership between @ZTAFraternity, #GenerationRx & @hecaod.

#NASPAStrategies20

Super excited to be sharing the #GenerationRx University Module & Adult Module with our campus and community partners during our upcoming spring 2020 #LaHEC Regional Trainings through @LA_Regents.

#NASPAStrategies20 @hecaod

We have to remember that common sense is not always common practice. - Kyle Pendleton @ZTAFraternity #NASPAStrategies20

Let me just say this: I, for one, am glad for the times we can talk about the SPF and NOT have to see "that flower." 🤣🤣🤣

@ZTAFraternity @hecaod #NASPAStrategies20

#TruthMoment: I'm almost in tears at the last session of #NASPAStrategies20 -- presented by @madsallen & Annette Newton of @oursoutheastern (in the @ulsystem) on #CollegiateRecovery.

#LionUpRecovery at #SELU is home to the FIRST #CRP in Louisiana.

We're proud at @LA_Regents!

Sidenote: I'm super stoked to join @madsallen & Annette of @oursoutheastern as they share on #CollegiateRecovery at @ulsystem's For Our Future Conference later this month!

(Catch us Thursday, Jan. 30th from 3:30 p.m.- 4:15 p.m. for the "What's Up With #LionUpRecovery in Room F)

It's everyone's responsibility to be a recovery-ready campus. - @madsallen of @oursoutheastern
#NASPAStrategies20 #LionUpRecovery #CollegiateRecovery

This is what accessing services looks like to a lot of our students. - Annette of @oursoutheastern
#NASPAStrategies20 #LionUpRecovery #CollegiateRecovery

We want it to be where the campus is so well-educated that there is #NoWrongDoor. - @madsallen of @oursoutheastern
#NASPAStrategies20 #LionUpRecovery #CollegiateRecovery

Here's some ways how you and other campus members can help create a recovery-ready campus. - @madsallen of @oursoutheastern

#NASPAStrategies20 #LionUpRecovery #CollegiateRecovery

Remember that some people may be early on in their recovery and be understanding of that. - @madsallen of @oursoutheastern

#NASPAStrategies20 #LionUpRecovery #CollegiateRecovery

We loooooooooove supporting and working with @madsallen and Annette of @oursoutheastern.

#CollegiateRecovery is off to a GREAT start in Louisiana! Kudos to the @ulsystem!

#LionUpRecovery #LaHEC #NASPAStrategies20

After linking up with @madsallen & Annette of @oursoutheastern & #LionUpRecovery at the @ulsystem For Our Future conference, we'll regroup for their inaugural scholarship breakfast featuring @CollegeRecovery Exec. Director @TimRabolt!

#NASPAStrategies20 #CollegiateRecovery

And of course there's no better way to end #NASPAStrategies20 than how it actually started for Annette and I: with a pic with @NASPADavid! 🤣

In short, my #NASPAStrategies20 experience has been amazing! Hats off to @NASPADavid @NASPAvpd & the whole @NASPAtweets team for an awesome conference!

Add me on the app if you haven't and would like to connect!

Safe travels to all & see you in Boston for #NASPAStrategies21!
