Strengths, Assessment and Staff Experiences (SASE)
At Wichita State University, we believe engaged employees are key to the success of
our organization. When we work with energy and enthusiasm, we create a culture that
fosters inclusion, growth and development, not just for ourselves, but for the students
we serve everyday.
As a core function of our department, our office supports the Division of Student
Affairs in assessment and retention efforts. From departmental KPI's and Annual Reports
to student event evaluations, our team is able to help and assit with DSA departmental
needs and requests.
Short for Student Affairs Professional, this area focuses primarily on the full-time
staff experience. Coordinating events and overseeing the divisions Engagement Agent
Committee, publishing our monthly Harvest Newsletter, and supporting the division
onboarding, training, and development initiatives are priorities within this functional
area.
The Student Employee experience is an extremely high impact opportunity to foster
student development. ShockerGrow is our initiative that focuses on this experience
from undergraduate student employees to graduate assistants.
The ShockerStrengths Initiative at Wichita State University strives to create experiential
learning opportunities to help students recognize their talents to develop, leverage,
and apply them toward their personal, academic, and professional goals. It’s also
about learning to appreciate others’ talents and strengths to accomplish goals together.
We approach this through a strengths-based approach focusing on the talents, strengths,
and assets that students bring with them to their college experience.
Everyone has different strengths, talents, and leadership styles. CliftonStrengths
can help you maximize your talents to achieve success, improve your leadership skills,
empower yourself and others, and make meaningful contributions that can drive positive
outcomes.
