  3. Getting Started • Electronic Portfolio- • http://dbonney.weebly.com • A resource that can be used to outline professional and education experience • Used as a tool of professional reflection • I chose Weebly. • Settings- Personal preference is to keep it private • Permission can be granted to those I wish to see it.

  4. Getting Acquainted • Student population 3,240 students • Approximately equal gender ratio • 89% of students receive financial aid • Prevention programs established throughout campus addressing campus violence. • College works with many outside agencies to develop comprehensive policies that address the needs of the population. • Tuition, state and federal funding and private grants fund the department. • Office is monitored by Board of Directors, College President and has frequent contact with families of students. • Serves as liaison between school and families. • Community has large impact on campus and campus has large impact on community.

  6. Ethical CompetenceProfessional’s Responsibility to the Community and Society and to the Clients • Public Safety officer used victim blaming language in reference to sexual assault • “guys will be guys especially when they are drinking.” • Lacked dignity and respect of students • Addressed officer in training- used the comment as an educational tool • Followed up with supervisor who was present and happy with my solution.

  7. Using Supervision • Freedom to make decisions • Provides guidance • Provides constructive feedback • Does not address an issue they may have in front of peers or subordinates • Present ideas and receive honest feedback • Being self-aware is important

  8. Learning from experience • 1. Gathering Objective Data from Concrete Experiences • A sexual assault was reported on campus. The deans office is responsible for responding and assisting public safety in the investigation. Site Supervisor had to keep info confidential. • 2. Reflecting • I wanted to respond and help the victim • I felt that the deans office was not the appropriate place to respond • I became judgmental and critical • After reflection I realized I was confusing my role at Siena with my role at Unity House • I did not have faith in the team of people I know are great • 3. Identifying Relevant Theory and Knowledge • Knowledge of importance of procedures and policies • Importance of confidentiality of victims • Establish roles and stay within those roles unless it is necessary to fill another.

  9. Learning from experience • 4. Examining Dissonance • I was not at Siena to be a direct service provider • My learning goals are focused on policies and procedures on campus • My instinct to get involved stem from my role at Unity House • My two roles overlapped and I needed to remember my place. • 5. Articulate Learning • As a student I am not responsible for or capable of helping the student. • I could have impacted the victims knowledge of campus assistance • I was there to help educate without my other life I wouldn’t have been tempted. Each role is very close. To enhance learning I need to stay focused. • 6. Developing a Plan • Maximize learning experiences in NEW role • Speak with supervisor to ensure boundaries between roles

  10. Developing Cultural Competence • Diverse group of students • Self proclaimed “Mutt Club” • Important to recognize each persons culture while developing them into a single group which will in the future become part of their culture • My own culture = greatest cultural challenge. I believed because I knew diversity I understood other peoples understanding of their own culture. • Campus needs more awareness and inclusive programing- there are groups and clubs that celebrate cultures but few interact

  11. Writing and Reporting • Developed Brochures- • used for distribution throughout campus, located in bathrooms, gathering rooms and counseling center. • Web Site Materials http://www.siena.edu/pages/7014.asp • Presentations/ Trainings • Public Safety Department • Human Rights Team • Student Conduct Review Board • Freshman Orientation • Conduct written reviews of student leaders presentations • Journals • Meeting minutes Dignity Affirming and protecting the dignity of the individual while pursuing the common good. Community Being a community where we work together in friendship and respect, and where we build a world that is more just, peaceable and humane. Appreciation Appreciating the unique worth of each person and delighting in the diversity within our community

  12. Communicating with Clients • I have had the most contact with the groups and community levels of intervention. • student leaders • other programs in the college • If I were employed full time at Siena I would • incorporate time to work with students on an individual level • assess their personal goals how to use the groups and community levels of intervention to their benefit • One area of strength for me is effective communication • includes active listening • processing the information before I speak. • anyone that could be impacted by a decision is involved as much as possible in the decision making process.

  13. Taking Care of Yourself Stressor Relief • Work full time job that doesn’t end when the shift is over • Internship • Adjunct Professor • Two children ages 9 &7 • Family and household responsibilities • Exercise – avid runner • Communication- talk about stressors with husband/friends • Shut it down when it is time • Natural Optimist

  14. Ending yourInternship • Appreciate Most: • different perspective of service delivery for human services • Regrets: • I will not be in a position to be part of the finalization of projects that I have started • Internal feelings= sadness and relief • In order to continue my growth and education expand my comfort zone, I will need to continue to work with different organizations • Remember each organization has their own agendas and successful collaborations will work to incorporate each

  15. Planning your Career • Short –term goals: • Finish my degree • start looking for a new job • Long-term goals • serve as a board member for a nonprofit human services organizations • Become director CEO of organization • Work in High Education Administration • How do I get there? • Continue developing relationships • Never stop learning • Maintain positive relationships with clients and professionals
