Your Teen Mag quotes Van Brunt on self-defense and teen safety
“It’s important for adults to proactively
talk to their teenagers, not only about how to protect themselves in dangerous
situations but also how to avoid those situations in the first place. “You want

Announcing the Launch of the Student Affairs Community College Association
Community College in
this country is now poised to become a right, with two years of free access.
Across the country, the mission of community colleges is shifting, with some
offering bachelor degrees, providing residence halls, and deeply expanding
non-degree granting, dual enrollment and workforce development programs. Amidst
this rapidly changing landscape, Student Affairs practice at community colleges
has its own set of unique challenges and needs. Now, community college student
affairs administrators have a professional association to call home.
Why should
community college student affairs have its own association?
SACCA recognizes the unique aspects of
student affairs practice for community college professionals and the need to
foster research, collaboration and professional development outside the shadow
of four-year campus student affairs practice.
With community
colleges poised to become a right for all, community colleges and the student
affairs professionals who keep them functioning are about to experience an
unprecedented boom and a whole new set of challenges from a new generation of
students who've never accessed college before. We need to understand these
students and anticipate their needs and the services and resources that will
empower their success.
Welcome to your new
professional home and community!

University Business quotes Lewis on higher ed issues for 2015
Scott Lewis, partner
in The NCHERM Group and The National Center for Risk Management, sees campus
culture issues heating up for higher ed leaders in 2015. “First, we will have
to examine the way we adjudicate and look into issues of discrimination, particularly
gender discrimination, and spend more time and resources on preventing
litigation,” he says. Resources will likely be spent on training and awareness
for domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, bullying, bystander
intervention and dating violence, he adds.
Chronicle quotes Sokolow in "Seeking to Strengthen Sex-Assault Policies, Colleges Draw Fire From All Sides"
Brett A. Sokolow, president
of the National Center for Higher Education Risk Management—a consulting and
law firm that advises colleges—said he gets about two new cases a week from men
who feel they’ve been wrongly accused of sexual misconduct. That number has
remained steady despite all the recent media attention to sexual assault, and
despite the backlash over the misreporting of an alleged gang rape at the
University of Virginia.
