Event Details
This interactive session explores the journey of rebuilding high-risk student organizations through the lens of university and headquarters professionals. Using Indiana University’s disciplinary status webpage as a launch point, participants will examine the real implications of terms like cease and desist and disciplinary probation, and what those designations mean beyond policy violations. Together, as a team (students, headquarters, and university) we’ll reframe these moments not as endpoints, but as the beginning of a long-term culture shift toward sustainable, values-based change. Through candid storytelling and shared experience, this session will illuminate how rebuilding efforts rely not just on institutional oversight or compliance, but on a committed partnership between students, their national organizations, and the university.
As a result of attending this program, attendees will…
- Be able to apply Sanford’s Challenge and Support Theory using direct student-centered approach in high-risk organizational contexts
- Explore the impact of collaborative partnerships between students, headquarters, and universities in driving organizational change
- Design Action plans that integrate educational values through experiential learning methods
- Develop a resilient and optimistic mindset when engaging with high-risk organizations using strategic and strength-based tactics
