Pursuing Campus Collaboration That Works: Assessing the Impact of Relational Leadership and Work Engagement on Relational Coordination between Student Affairs and Academic Affairs in Christian Higher Education
Collaboration between student affairs and academic affairs departments has long been a focus of organizational development but is inconsistent at best. This quantitative study of student affairs professionals (n = 256) within the Christian higher education context examined the role that experience of relational leadership and a worker’s level of work engagement have on a student affairs professional’s experience of relational coordination with the academic affairs departments within their organization. The study used three validated surveys and subsequent regression analysis to measure relational leadership, work engagement, and relational coordination to identify the predictive relationship between the variables as well as a qualitative question for added nuance. Relational leadership was statistically significant at predicting the relationship between relational leadership and relational coordination, but there was no statistical significance between work engagement and relational coordination. This study provides student affairs professionals with a starting point to increase relational coordination as they collaborate with academic affairs as co-curricular educators in higher education

Everybody
The playbill for Taylor University\u27s performance of Everybody by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins.
Performed September 14-17, 2023 at the Mitchell Theatre.
Everybody is a modern adaptation of the 15th-century morality play Everyman. The story follows a character named Everybody, who is summoned by Death to embark on a journey to account for their life and choices before God. As Everybody seeks companionship for this final journey, they encounter personifications of abstract concepts like Friendship, Kinship, Stuff, Mind, and Love. The play uses a unique casting lottery system, where roles are assigned randomly at each performance, symbolizing the unpredictability of death. Through its exploration of existential questions and the human condition, Everybody connects medieval anxieties about mortality with contemporary themes of identity and purpose.https://pillars.taylor.edu/playbills/1383/thumbnail.jp

The Best Spot on Campus
“YUH’ is put on a window with sticky notes on a 2WO window. ‘YUH’ has been a great motivation to look up at when walking to class or walking back to the dorms after a hard class. ‘YUH’ is an inside joke between students. Girls in room 219 thought it would be a fun idea to motivate students, in a creative way.”https://pillars.taylor.edu/quintu23-best-spot/1009/thumbnail.jp
