So excited for the #NtlMtg20 to kick-off!!!

Ready to hear from @NASPADavid, Aimee, Courtney & so many other amazing people in our field!
Really awesome that @hecaod has Closed Captioning & an ASL interpreter on screen! #NtlMtg20 Image
And it's a GREAT time to say Happy 5th Year Anniversary to @hecaod!!! #NtlMtg20
"No more 1-person shops for 35,000 students." - @NASPADavid #NtlMtg20

Yesssssssss! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Image
We need to be cognizant of those conversations and how the result of those conversations will convey a value to students. - @NASPADavid #NtlMtg20
The people who are pushing the equity conversation on campuses cannot just fall on Black and Brown students, staff and faculty --- when the majority of power holders in education look like me and Jim. - @NASPADavid #NtlMtg20
Where your campus values the well-being of its students can be found in its budget.- @NASPADavid #NtlMtg20
We need people in this space to see themselves in & start to get into the more administrative roles (like VPSAs) so that campuses can begin to pay more attention to this space. - @NASPADavid #NtlMtg20
Remember: there's data you can't publish but can still use to make decisions. - @NASPADavid #NtlMtg20
PC: Pre-COVID. - @cclouner #NtlMtg20
Next @hecaod Learning Collaborative! #NtlMtg20 Image
Really amped to hear from Aimee & Courtney about alternative social programming--- especially during #COVID19. #NtlMtg20 ImageImage
This sign is hilarious --- and true! 😂 #NtlMtg20 Image
We have 20 years worth of programming to look back on ... and Penn State has some done good research in this area. - Aimee #NtlMtg20 ImageImageImage
Take straight from NIDA's website, the Monitoring The Future data.- Aimee #NtlMtg20 ImageImage
I love this! #NtlMtg20 Image
I mean, *I* would want to go to TAD! 😂😂😂 #NtlMtg20

This is awesome Courtney & Aimee! ImageImage
I loooooooove that they're utilizing AND employing Event Management students to run TAD!

Curriculum Infusion, Real World Experiences, and Compensation for students?!

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Courtney & Aimee!

#NtlMtg20
Hmmm, I'll definitely have to check out one of those virtual escape rooms!!! #NtlMtg20

Sidenote: I LOVE the movie Escape Room ..... buuuuuuuuut I'm probably never setting foot in one again. 🥴
The Water Cooler Chat was an awesome end to Day 1 of the #NtlMtg20!

Well done @hecaod!
Ready to kick off Day 2 of the #NtlMtg20 × @hecaod in just a few minutes!

Looking forward to hearing from @DrKrisDeJesus, @Recovery_ABrown & others today!!!

Our intentions don't always reflect our impact. - @DrKrisDeJesus #NtlMtg20
Compassion is great -- but it is action that will change our communities. - @DrKrisDeJesus #NtlMtg20
Yesssssss!

Your statement was cute, hit all the "right points" and contained the appropriate "buzz words" but ummmm, yeah....

#NtlMtg20
Things we're all concerned about in the High-Risk Alchol Use Water Cooler Chat:

Tolerance fails.

Where students stopped/slowed use while at home but want to revert to old habits when they get back to campus & w/friends... which could lead to more ER transports.

#NtlMtg20
Also, #SApros /#StudentAffairs:

Remind students about amnesty policies. We WANT them to call for help in the event of an emergency due to high-risk alcohol or other substance use, even if they broke COVID guidance (i.e., at a large gathering, no social distancing)

#NtlMtg20
Good info from @Recovery_ABrown for the 2nd live @hecaod #NtlMtg20 keynote of the day! ImageImage
We tend to assume sustainability is related to growth and that's not what we necessarily need to do for #CRPs. - @Recovery_ABrown #NtlMtg20 ImageImageImage
When we talk about #CRPs, we should always frame them as educational non-profits. The more diverse the funding stream is, the more durable the program is. - @Recovery_ABrown #NtlMtg20 ImageImageImage
Love that @Recovery_ABrown is spending some time on building community in #CRPs and its importance. #NtlMtg20 ImageImageImage
Really enjoyed today's Water Cooler Chat with other Mid-Level Professionals to close out Day 2 of the @hecaod #NtlMtg20!
Sooooooo excited for today's keynotes!!!

P.S. - I'm kiiiiiiiiiinda a Dr. Vivian Barnette STAN. 😆😆😆 💙💛 #HBCUlove #OneHillman

#NtlMtg20 × @hecaod

For any of the remaining 16 states that don't have statewide coalitions, we'd LOVE to help you get that going through the National Consortium of Statewide Coalitions (#theNCSC) with @hecaod!

Leeeeeeeeeet's go!!! @DrLukeWood, @kstrickland_ & @JasonPNance #NtlMtg20

First up, Jason! ImageImage
Slight switch up due to tech difficulties, but we're still rolling!

Really looking forward to @DrLukeWood's presentation!

#NtlMtg20 Image
Both @DrLukeWood & @JasonPNance began by stating how mind-blowing it is that 2 schools can be minutes away --- yet one is flanked with metal detectors and drug-sniffing dogs.

#NtlMtg20
We believe that you Black lives and Black minds matter. If you dont value the Black life there's no way you can value the Black mind. - @DrLukeWood #NtlMtg20 Image
We have to understand #implicitbias and how it impacts all that we do. - @DrLukeWood #NtlMtg20 ImageImage
Research on how #implicitbias shows up in law enforcement, healthcare and education via @DrLukeWood #NtlMtg20 ImageImageImage
There is an undervaluing and over criminalization of Black lives and minds. - @DrLukeWood #NtlMtg20 ImageImage
These biases continue to show up in the educational system. - @DrLukeWood #NtlMtg20 ImageImageImage
Unfortunately even in the midst of a global pandemic while online learning is taking place, the bias continues. Yes, these are real comments. - @DrLukeWood #NtlMtg20 ImageImage
Lissssssssssssen!!! @DrLukeWood #RacialBattleFatigue is exhausting.

Even *writing* about it in my dissertation was stressful. 😕

#NtlMtg20 ImageImageImage
And we're back with @JasonPNance speaking about the securitization of K-12 schools.

These were the dependent variables and all of the other independent variables that WERE controlled.... watch the next slide... 🙃

#NtlMtg20 ImageImageImageImage
Pay special attention to the last two lines: even when controlling for all of the aforementioned independent variables, schools with a jigher percentage of minority *still* opted for more security measures. @JasonPNance #NtlMtg20 ImageImage
When we do this we teach White students that they have more privacy and deserve a better learning environment than minority students and that's not true. -@JasonPNance #NtlMtg20 Image
We have to learn how to talk about race and racism. We have to learn how to have this uncomfortable conversation. - @kstrickland_ #NtlMtg20 Image
The reason why we have inequality in our country, is because we allow it. We have normalized this. - @kstrickland_ #NtlMtg20
It is not enough to NOT be racist. We have to be anti-racist. @kstrickland_ #NtlMtg20
With the opioid epidemic and its impact to White communities, we've seen that shift of narrative to a public health approach. - @kstrickland_ #NtlMtg20
The status quo has NEVER been enough and WILL NEVER be enough to address this. We all have to do MORE than we have ever done. - @kstrickland_
Re: in the context of RAs, other ResLife staff & student affairs personnel being arbitrators of conduct codes.

It's interesting to be invisible AND hyper-surveilled at the same time. @DrLukeWood
On #BanTheBox in #highered:

In short, yes --- because there's research that shows 2/3 of students who have to check the box to disclose a criminal history will QUIT that application. - @DrLukeWood #NtlMtg20
I figured we might run short on time buuuuuuuut, there's always Twitter!

Cc: @DrLukeWood @kstrickland_ @JasonPNance #NtlMtg20 Image
Eeeeeeek!!!! Coming up soon! #NtlMtg20 Image
I'm alllllllllllways here for Dr. Vivian Barnette & her passion fr #HBCUs! 💙💛 #HBCUlove #OneHillman

#NtlMtg20

Cc: @ncatsuaggies ImageImage
Now here is the one point Dr. Vivian Barnette clown about: BAND!

Yes, NCAT has a great band.... BUT they're not THE @SU_HumanJukebox! 💙💛😂

#NtlMtg20 ImageImage
Some background on substance use by African Americans & #HBCU students by Dr. Vivian Barnette. #NtlMtg20 ImageImageImage
Some of the barriers students face to seeking help and cultural factors we have to consider.

It's really important to think about family in terms of how the *student* identifies their family. - Dr. Vivian Barnette #NtlMtg20 ImageImage
4 Critical Points when working with or establishing a #CRC/#CRP on an #HBCU campus. - Dr. Vivian Barnette #NtlMtg20 Image
This is definitely a robust, campus collaboration! Kudos!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

#NtlMtg20 ImageImage
We want students to stay in #recovery while STILL being in college. - Dr. Vivian Barnette #NtlMtg20 ImageImage
We want to normalize seeking help and recovery services.

That "Party Sober" shirt was actuallya big hit.- Dr. Vivian Barnette #NtlMtg20 ImageImageImageImage
At an #HBCU, Greek Life and culture is HUGE, so we definitely involve our Greek community. - Dr. Vivian Barnette #NtlMtg20 Image
We've addressed the sustainability component by having our #CRC ingrained within the counseling center as a service of our office.

Also, we make sure we are connected to the university's mission on recruitment & retention. - Dr. Vivian Barnette #NtlMtg20 Image
P.S. - I absolutely looooooove @NovakTalks! #NtlMtg20
Yesssssssss! Relationships ABSOLUTELY matter when you're seeking collaboration for collective impact. @NovakTalks @ChrisDeEulis #NtlMtg20 Image
Before we develop the #partnerships, the #relationships have to come first. - @NovakTalks #NtlMtg20
Really great panel so far!!!!

A definition of #wellbeing: navigating life's peaks and valleys. - @JamesLarcus #NtlMtg20 Image
Amazing last Water Cooler chat with other Southeast professionals.

#NtlMtg20 has been PHENOMENAL-- a HUGE congratulations to @leaux1231, @cclouner, @preventionhack & the entire @hecaod staff & volunteers for giving us an amazing virtual experience!

Looking forward to #NtlMtg21!
