Episode 7: SAPros On the Road
Guest: Dr. Vince Kloskowski
Welcome to Episode 7 of SAPros On the Road. Mini podcast episodes about the current state and the future of the Student Affairs profession, straight from the source.
I want to thank all my guests for their enthusiasm and authenticity. This was a great amount of fun. There are some guests whose thoughts and opinions will resonate with you more than others, but I do hope the series in full fills your spirit. The bottom line is that the future of the Student Affairs profession is stronger because of the range of thoughts, creative ideas and dedication that these professionals embody.
Dr. Vince Kloskowski decided to pivot to the K-12 realm after spending a lifetime in HigherEd (25+ years). He has made it a priority to consider the possibility of education and what that means for young people looking to their future. A compelling conversation as we consider the future of the Student Affairs profession. I appreciate him taking the time to attend the NASPA Region 1 conference to remain connected to the profession in order to better serve the students of his High School. But more so, I am hopeful that our current HigherEd professionals heed his insights.
I was asked by the NASPA, Student Affairs in Higher Education, Region 1 conference committee to set up shop at the conference with my podcasting equipment and hear from current Student Affairs Professionals. I gladly did so, and on a beautiful November day 13 SAPros imparted 3 and a half hours of content … I had a lot of audio to sort through.
I have chosen to post these mini-episodes here every other Wednesday beginning February 14, 2024 in the order in which they were recorded. Think of it as a very special Valentine’s Day present. The choice to keep the posts in the order they were recorded is for no other reason than listeners can refer back to previous mini-episodes because there are call backs that do come up from conversation to conversation.
As the interviews took place in the middle of a conference where participants were happy to be out of the office, mixing with old friends and new acquaintances, I found the conversations were highly energetic. There is also some background noise at times, so please hang in there and be understanding.
