Director of Assessment and Planning, Division of Student Affairs at the University of Houston

Student Affairs professionals need to start talking about why we sell students on the importance and value of transferable skills, but rarely do we ever hire people with transferable skills. Instead we value people who have followed very specific, well worn, career paths. If those specific experiences are so valuable, why are we not making them part of the job requirements, or at least preferred experiences? The difference between our espoused and practiced values is dramatic and troubling.
