October 2013

Colleagues and Friends,

It gives me great pleasure to share the inaugural Division of Student Life Annual Report highlighting the accomplishments and milestones from the 2012-13 academic year. Th e Annual Report provides an opportunity for us to refl ect on our work as we continue to enhance the Santa Clara experience for our students.

Together with students and campus colleagues, the staff across Student Life (Benson Memorial Center, Career Center, Center for Student Leadership, Cowell Center, New Student Programs, Offi ce for Multicultural Learning, Offi ce of Student Life, Parent and Family Programs, Offi ce of Residence Life) implemented programs and services aligned with Santa Claras vision, mission and fundamental values. Highlights from each department may be found on the following pages.

One of the challenges this past year, was to deploy the resources within the Division to support more effi ciently and eff ectively student learning and co-curricular involvement. Th e overarching goal of reorganizing the Division was to deploy our talented workforce in ways that foster collaboration, minimize duplication and allow for the creativity that comes with proximity. Results achieved:

Th e Offi ce for Multicultural Learning moved from Benson Memorial Center to the Locatelli Student Activities Center and reports to the Director of Campus Programs, Tedd Vanadilok;

Orientation and New Student Programs moved from Kenna Hall to the Locatelli Student Activities Center, also reporting to the Director of Campus Programs;

International Student Services (ISS) joined the Global Engagement Offi ce under the leadership of the Associate Provost for International Programs; and

Disabilities Resources Offi ce joined the Offi ce of Student Life, led by the Associate Dean for Student Life, Matthew Duncan.

A revised organizational chart is included at the end of the publication.

We have a great deal to be proud of this past year. I invite you to take a few minutes to read through the Annual Report to learn more about our work on behalf of students.

Regards,

Jeanne Rosenberger

Th e ALPHA Residential Learning Community (RLC) returned to their home in the new Graham Residence for the 2012-2013 academic year. Th e new Graham complex is home to approximately 351 students in mini-suite confi gurations with two double rooms sharing a bathroom. Th e complex features eight fully ADA compliant student rooms. Every 32 beds are grouped in a neighborhood with its own kitchen, laundry room, and lounge. Common areas include two classrooms, a large multipurpose room, administrative offi ces, vending machines, and restroom facilities. Th e building features a student show room that has become a new stop on the daily campus tours.

Opening of Opening of Graham ComplexGraham Complex

Neighbor RelationsNeighbor RelationsTh e annual Neighborhood Walk-About brings together Associated Student Government (ASG) leaders, members of the Santa Clara Police Department (SCPD) and staff in the Offi ce of Student Life. Each team of three goes door-to-door to all of the houses and apartments in the areas adjacent to the University. Th e purpose of the Walk-About is to provide information on safety, responsible hosting, and fostering positive relationships with neighbors. A goal of the program is to set clear expectations for student behavior in the neighborhood, while allowing student residents to meet the members of SCPD who are assigned to the SCU call area. Of the 110 houses that received information packets, 98 student residences spoke to SCPD offi cers and ASG members.

Th e Santa Clara Review has published Issue 2 of Volume 100, featuring refl ections by former editors dating back to the 1950s. Th e publication party included a reading by former U.S. Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Hass.

Into the Wild Into the Wild Wilderness Wilderness

OrganizationOrganizationInto the Wild (ITW) began as a small group of students interested in off ering substance-free alternatives to the off -campus party scene. Since its inception in 2009, ITW has sought to unite the outdoor enthusiasts on campus who are looking to fi nd a group of like-minded individuals, explore the surrounding wilderness together, and make the most of their SCU experience. Weekly ITW organizes at least two trips for all skill levels that include hiking, backpacking, snow camping, rock climbing, kayaking, rafting, surfi ng and more. ITW promotes healthy, sober fun while encouraging education in environmentally sustainable practices. Its second generation of student leadership has broadened its purpose by supporting SCUs commitment to sustainability and serving as a resource for individual students, student organizations, and university departments.

Justice Starts HereJustice Starts HereJustice Starts Here is an on-going Residence Life program promoting social justice and equality. Th e program seeks to promote safe and inclusive communities for students, staff , faculty, and all other members of the Residence Life community. Residents are encouraged to LISTEN: to the stories of others; SPEAK: fi nd your voice and be a voice for others; and ACT: take personal responsibility for yourself, others, and this community.

A Message from the DirectorA Message from the DirectorDear Santa Clara Community,

Th e landscape of higher education is shifting and the demand from parents and students that education lead to employment is growing. Th is is the topic that has occupied our minds in the Career Center for the past year. Both parents and students, in separate surveys, state that the number one reason they choose college is to get a better job (UCLA Higher Ed Research Institute).

And yet, education and employers are running on parallel tracks. McKinsey consulting conducted a survey and issued a report in December 2012 showing the disconnect between the academy and the workplace in terms of student readiness for work. Seventy-two percent of faculty say that a students education has prepared them for work while only forty percent of employers feel that way.

Th e University is in the heart of Silicon Valley and the Center, at its core, will continue to work in preparing our students for opportunities of authentic professional and personal development.

Elspeth RossettiDirector, Career Center

Assessment ResultsAssessment Results Marketing eff orts and intentional outreach to

freshmen and sophomores resulted in a 47% increase in appointments between Fall 2011 and Fall 2012

Assessment data from Career Prep Bootcamps shows a consistent increase reported by students on various measures such as: ability to articulate strengths and how they align with job and internship opportunities, understanding how to create a professional resume and LinkedIn profi le, and awareness of opportunities within a particular industry

Career fairs are off ered each year to help employers target the students they need and increase their yield of recruits from Santa Clara University. Th e greater the yield the more likely the employer is to designate SCU as a target school and return each year for recruitment

Office of Student Life

As a Catholic and Jesuit institution that makes student learning its central focus, the Offi ce of Student Life serves as an advocate for students to promote a university experience that fosters

the holistic development of our students.


I am extremely proud of the contributions that the staff in the Offi ce of Student Life, Disabilities Resources, and the Wellness Center have made within and outside of the University during 2012-13. Each member of this team is wholeheartedly committed to the welfare and holistic development of our students.

While our professional work is grounded in student development theory and our respective professional best practices, it is distinguished by our Ignatian approach which challenges our students 1) to be women and men for and with others, 2) to engage in active discernment as they live each day of their lives - asking themselves, Quo vado? (Where am I going?), and 3) to be leaders of competence, conscience, and compassion who are committed to a more humane, just, and sustainable world.

Residence Life

Th e Offi ce of Residence Life provides living and learning communities focused on the holistic development of our students with

student learning and development at the core.


Each year we continue our eff orts to provide our students with a remarkable community living/learning experience.

We do this by helping our residents develop connections in their experiences; connections in their community; connections to their learning; and connections across campus. Th e Residence Life staff is committed to the Jesuit principle of Cura Personalis, where we actively support, care for, and encourage the development of each student as a whole person. We are here to help students succeed, fi nd connections, and learn from one another and our diff erent and shared experiences. We pride ourselves on our respectful, open, and engaged communities, with student development as the central focus.

Given staffi ng challenges and the dramatic increase in serious student welfare issues, the year continued at a racing speed, as opposed to a more manageable jog. Th e staff kept the momentum needed, and Im very proud of our accomplishments and the quality experience we provided our students.
