STUDENT AFFAIRS 
YEAR-END REVIEW 
The 2016-2017 academic year within the Division of Student Affairs can best be 
encapsulated as one of change and transitions. The academic year presented some 
challenges, as well as exciting opportunities. A considerable amount of time was spent 
in the first few months assessing student needs, and the overall division through active 
listening and the engagement of a broad constituent of students, staff, faculty, and 
individuals, both within and without Student Affairs and Athletics. 
Keeling & Associates was also enlisted to conduct a comprehensive external review of 
the division, which resulted in several recommendations focused on six (6) key areas: 
Clarity of Structure, 0 
Responsibilities, 1

Purpose _____,. 
Six (6) key

L------- -
The year was spent focusing on these key areas, with some immediate implementation, 
beginning in the fall 2016 semester with continuation into the spring 2017 semester. 
The recommendations have continued to serve as a compass in the ongoing 
improvement of the division's operational efficiency, with the ultimate goal of enhancing 
the overall student experience. As we move forward into the 2017-2018 academic year, 
please note some of the updates and highlights within the division.

4 I STUDENT AFFAIRS YEAR-END REVIEW 2016 - 2017 
STUDENT CONDUCT 
"Both faculty and administrators with whom we spoke criticized the judicial system for having a lack 
of consistency, accountability, student learning outcomes, records, and reporting; the strength of the 
system 'waxes and wanes', according to the strength of its student leaders" 
- (Student Affairs External Review Report, 2016-2017). 
• Hired for the first time a Director of Student Conduct & Community Standards to provide 
administrative oversight and streamline processes for the two student judicial boards, 
and the Judicial Review Committee. 
• Ongoing revision and update of Student Handbook 
• Continuous review and update of policies, processes, and practices 
• Establishment of Community Standards 
• Provide training and administrative oversight to the Honor Court, Judicial Board, 
and the Judicial Review Committee. 
• Work collaboratively with faculty to address concerns relating to academic integrity issues 
and reporting. 
CREATING VIBRANT STUDENT SPACES FOR ENGAGEMENT 
During the spring and summer months, using donated funds, we spent some time upgrading and 
refurbishing spaces on campus, specifically for students. 
• Center for Leadership and Service, located in Alston on the second floor has been furnished 
and refreshed to be a more welcoming space for students. Students can hang out, charge their 
devices while looking out onto the Woodruff Quad. 
• The Center for Student Involvement has also received a minor makeover to be more esthetically 
appealing to students. 
• All student organizations are now managed through the Center for Student Involvement, which 
5 
means students can simply obtain all information pertaining to student organizations (i.e. registration, 
allocation, policies, etc.) in one location. 
• The Student Government Association was able to reclaim its office space on the third floor of Alston. Space 
has also received a minor makeover to be a comfortable meeting space for our SGA officers (Alston314). 
• There is also a Collaboration Room on the third floor with new and improved modular furniture, which can be 
accessed and used by multiple student groups (Alston307). If you advise a student organization, please 
encourage them to use this space for meetings. 
• The Commuter Lounge received a few minor upgrades, so our Commuters can have a comfortable gathering 
space in between classes or during school sponsored events. 
Other key highlights for the 2016-2017 academic year include: 
Wellness Center: 
• Counseling and Psychological Services fully staffed in six years; therefore less reliance on 
contracted counselors, which will provide continuity in mental health counseling to students. 
• Extended hours on Thursday evenings until 7 pm to better accommodate students' schedules. 
The Wellness Center is also now open during the lunch hours. 
• Counselors now have an on-call rotation (24 hours/7days) 
• Reduction in student hospitalizations and withdrawals, and decreased number of First Year 
students requiring immunization at New Student Orientation. 
Residence Life: 
• Realignment of the department to include a coordinator of Residence Life Operations dedicated to improving 
operational efficiencies and respond to frontline requests (maintenance and facilities issues) 
• Integrated Residence Life and Wellness Center under a single leadership model to increase collaboration and 
improve communication between the two units, resulting in a reduction in student hospitalizations 
and withdrawals. 
• Renovation of lower level Winship with new and updated furniture, pool table, and other amenities for students 
to hang out and utilize the space without requiring a reservation. 
• Rebekah is currently under renovation and will re-open for the fall 2018 -2019 academic year. 
• Thirty-nine (39) units in Avery Glen updated with new and more modern furniture. Washers and dryers 
were also installed in all Avery apartments. 
• Students are now able to have one mini-refrigerator in their rooms. 
• A graduate assistant now resides in Walters to offer additional support to First Years. 
• A dedicated staff person to Residential Education focused on developing and improving Living & Learning 
communities, theme houses, and integrating the SUMMIT co-curriculum as part of a new programming model, 
which incorporates Class Level Programming - implement a semester long series of workshops & events 
designed to address the needs and concerns of First Years, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors in residence. 
• Relocation of the entire Residence Life team to the ground level of Winship to serve as a one-stop 
for residents. 
6 I STUDENT AFFAIRS YEAR-END REVIEW 2016 - 2017 
• The renovated space is for students only and provides an opportunity for students and the Residence Life staff 
to interact and engage more naturally. 
• A one-stop space for all residents' inquiries, requests, and needs. 
Athletics 
• Strengthened our NCAA Division Ill athletic program, winning 11 championships in the Great South Athletic 
Conference and making a strong debut in the nation's largest Division Ill Conference, the USA South. 
• Forty-seven (47) student-athletes named to the All-Academic Team (students who achieve a 3.0 in both 
semesters) for the 2016-2017 academic year. 
• Seven (7) athletes voted All Conference in the USA South 
• Realignment of Athletic Administrative Structure to include an Assistant Director for External relations and 
Camps and Assistant Director for Athletic Compliance and Student Athlete Success 
Center for Student Involvement 
The Programming Board (ProBo), in collaboration with the Center for Student Involvement, successfully 
executed the first annual celebration of AGNESPALOOZA Week. In total, there were approximately 950 
attendees throughout the course of the week. 
• The Center for Student Involvement worked with the Senior Class to launch a Senior Week, focused exclusively 
on events and activities planned and sponsored by seniors for graduating seniors of the class of 2017. 
• The Student Government Association Executive Board and the Student Senate adopted a new model for the 
Student Government Association for a more effective approach in addressing student issues and concerns. 
Center for Leadership and Service 
• Increased Integration of the SUMMIT Co-curricular and the Curricular, with the shift and emphasis of the 
Gue Pardue Hudson Center for Leadership and Service to focus on intentional integration of the co-curricular 
leadership development and global learning components to the SUMMIT curriculum. Examples include 
Legacy/StrengthsQuest into LDR 101, the leadership workshop series in LDR 200, and the Social Challenges of 
Our Times Film Series with various academic disciplines. 
Student Outreach and Education 
• The Students of Concern committee responded to 179 students identified as "high risk" due to academic and/or 
behavioral concerns. The director of student outreach and education logged 118 contacts with students, parents, 
staff/faculty through the Student of Concern process. 
• Development of the Scottie Emergency Fund to provide appropriate support to full-time ASC students requiring 
assistance for extenuating and emergency situations.
