Do any of you use Strengths as part of a student employee training program? And if so, how is the program structured and how do you handle issues like frequent turnover, new hires and large populations?

Hello. I work in Student Services and oversee the housing and residential life at McPherson College, McPherson, Kansas. It is great to be a part of this group and I hope to learn and share ideas. We have been strengths based in SS for 4 years now and we require all of our resident assistants to take the assessment as a communication tool for them and us. It has been a great addition.

Hello everyone. Technically, I am not in student affairs; the Career Services office here at SUNY Canton reports to Advancement, but I you are my people. Glad to be connected.

I have just started my new position as Director of Retention Programs at Morehead State. We are beginning the journey of becoming a strengths-based campus. Any ideas on where to begin making a difference from a Career Services or other areas. We are not yet using StrengthsQuest campus-wide, but my hope is to move that way. We are currently introducing an approach based on Dependable Strengths.
