Donald Coleman, assistant director of Orientation and Transition Programs, and Stephanie Foote, director of the Master of Science in First-Year Studies, presented together at the Annual NODA Conference in Denver CO, earlier this month. Their presentation was titled, "Telling Our Story: Using Self-Authorship Development to Advance our Practice."

 

This session examined how aspects of self-authorship theory (Baxter Magolda, 2008) can be applied to professional practice in orientation, transition and retention.

 

Specifically, the session highlighted the process used to introduce and engage Ignition Leaders in self-authorship development using a three-prong approach.
