022 - Moving On or Moving Up, Programming Models, and Assessment | Molly Albart [Feature Topic]

This episode features Molly Albart, Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs at UT Arlington. Molly talks about moving up and moving out of housing into an AVP role that, interestingly enough, does not include housing in her current portfolio. We talk about the transferrable skills housing experience provides when considering to make a move into other areas of student affairs. We then tackle community development and programming models, with some very candid observations and feedback about the practicality of their purpose and success. We then talk assessment and geek out on some very practical Excel skills anyone looking to provide value in their department should immediately start practicing. And since Molly is responsible for her division's annual report, we ask her to rank the value of individual contributions in an annual report. This episode covers a wide range of topics, but is filled with tangible action you can take in your job.
