Fresh Out: Navigating Student Affairs as a Recent Graduate and New Professional
As a recent graduate and a new professional in student affairs I've been working to take a proactive approach to my professional development. I'd like to use this tumblr as a forum for presenting and sharing my findings. Feel free to share, suggest and comment.

A documentary called the Spitting Game: The College Hook Up Culture. Could be a useful tool for colleges and universities faced with challenge of addressing this issue in a real way.
An older (2009) post from NPR written by Brenda Wilson.
How do students define hooking up? What happened to good old fashion dating? How did we get here and what to do about it?
Students are no longer dating? Who should educate and how early should this education start? Are schools with visitation policies for the opposite gender helping or hurting this growing trend?
A second article on college hook-up culture. A growing trend… this article was published on Valentine’s Day last month. Coincidence or purposeful?
Likealittle.com featuring a campus near you!
With sites similar to likealittle.com it’s not just the college culture that impacting our students. The media and other outside sources play a role as well.
How much of it are we willing to address and what is ‘out of our hands?’ Which departments are responsible for addressing this ‘touchy’ subject? How much hooking-up is really happening and how do we continue to educate?
Is everyone really ‘doing it?’- hmmm.. I’m not so sure about that…
A fairly recent post focused on the hook-up culture at Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s. Looking inward to find solutions.
Welcome to my brand-spanking fresh new tumblr. I see this space as an area to share my recent findings on current topics and ideas in student affairs. I welcome you to offer your own insights. Feel free to comment, suggest and share your opinions!
I’ll share ideas, prompt though-provoking questions, post relevant articles and blog postings.

Brianne
