Thank you for this amazing reflection of your summer quarter with us, Brett Farmer! Looking forward to the rest of the year with you and all of our students, faculty, staff and alums. 🫶 #sesplove #mshe #northwestern
As I start the second quarter of my master’s program this week, I wanted to share a brief reflection of my first quarter at Northwestern! In June, I moved to Chicago, started my internship at the University of Chicago College Programming & Orientation office, and began the first quarter of my master’s program in the Northwestern MSHE Program. One course I took was “The College Student” with Dr. Kim Everett, where I learned about student development and how to integrate developmental theory into all higher ed professions. Dr. Kim was an exceptional professor to get to know and her approach student development theory will stick with me long into my professional career. Additionally, I took “Advancing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Through Intentional Leadership and Organizational Change,” which was co-taught by Lesley-Ann Brown-Henderson and Maria J. Genao-Homs, Ed.D.. This course addressed the ever-changing nature of DEI, and what it can mean to society, culture, students, institutions, and individuals. The politicization of DEI has turned belonging into buzzwords and inclusion into isolation. Dr. Brown-Henderson and Dr. Genao-Homs did a great job of helping us understand the importance and function of resistance while assessing our own natural roles in it as students and professionals. Finally, Gregory Wolniak and Mark Engberg taught “Enrollment Management” which helped deepen my understanding of enrollment, retention, financial aid, and admissions (and nearly every part of a university) that can contribute to the success or failure of a strategic enrollment team/plan. Covering the amount of topics that we did in only 9 weeks was certainly a feat, but one I am very grateful for as a young professional, and as I enter the masters thesis research sequence this fall. Although a summer of change and adjustment personally, it was also one of incredible academic learning opportunities and professional growth. I am grateful for all that Northwestern’s MSHE program has taught and provided me with so far, and I can’t wait to see what more I gain from the remaining 9 months in my program!

Even better, our internship students complete a course called "Navigating the Organization and Your Career," co-taught by Lauren Eck Faucette and Lois Trautvetter, where they and our amazing alumni and internship supervisors network guide students on #careerskills, #networking, and the #jobsearch! Hear more from Lauren and Lois in this video! Are you or someone you know considering a master's degree with a professional focus in mind? Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gdeN6-Pa
