Stetson Internal Communications Survey for Faculty, Staff

Cory LancasterPosted on September 15, 2019 Posted in Faculty, Staff

Next month, Stetson faculty and staff will have an opportunity to participate in an Internal Communications Survey, conducted by University Marketing.

This email survey will ask employees in DeLand/Celebration to evaluate how well the university communicates with them in a number of areas and if they have seen an improvement in internal communications since a previous survey during Spring Semester 2018.

A best practice in internal communications surveys is to review the outcomes from the previous survey before conducting a follow-up survey to measure progress. Sharing these details can help employees see that their feedback matters and increase engagement in the upcoming survey, set for Oct. 2-16, 2019. A series of three stories will appear weekly on Stetson Today, leading up to the survey.

This week: Listening to Stetson Faculty and Staff
Human Resources outlines key initiatives since 2018 Internal Communications Survey

Questions? Contact Cory Lancaster, director of Internal Communications, at clancaster@stetson.edu or 386-822-7215.

Study Abroad in Spring 2020 – Applications due Sept. 26!

Paula HentzPosted on September 12, 2019 Posted in Undergraduate Students

Study Abroad in Spring 2020 on a Stetson exchange program!

Applications are due by Sept. 26.

Study abroad exchange programs allow you to directly enroll in an international university and fully immerse yourself in a new culture for a semester or academic year. These programs offer classes for most majors, and the majority of them are offered in English. Students earn in-residence Stetson credit toward your degree.

If you study on an exchange program, you will pay your regular Stetson tuition for the semester and keep all your usual scholarships. You will pay your host university for room and board, which in many countries is less expensive than Stetson!

For questions about exchange programs, you can sign up for a meeting with Paula Hentz at WORLD.

Duration: Semester
Group type: Closed
Closing Date: Oct. 15, 2019
Note: Dates were changed due to campus closure for Hurricane Dorian.

The USO group focuses on relationships, emotional intimacy, boundaries, self-awareness and other components of the interpersonal process.

Building Resilience is a skills-based group designed for students who experience intense emotions and mood swings or whose emotional pain may lead to angry outbursts, relationship turmoil or self-injury. Sometimes self-defeating behaviors seem to offer short-term relief, but end up causing problems that make life even more difficult. DBT is a confidential group for men and women who help group members target the issues that cause distress and teaches skills to deal with these problems without resorting to unhealthy behaviors. Group members complete workbook assignments during the course of the group. Homework topics that correspond to the skill topics discussed in the group are routinely assigned and reviewed.

We invite individuals with any minority identity (e.g., racial, religious, gender, sexuality, ability) to connect in a supportive group environment. This diversity support group may be helpful for students who are open to both learning to have dialogue across difference and finding strength through facing shared struggles together.

Begins: Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2019
Time: 3 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Each week focuses on a skill that is often difficult for those with ADD/ADHD: Organization, Time Management, Impulse Control, Self-Esteem, Interpersonal Relationships and Emotional Regulation. No matter if you were diagnosed at age 5, age 35 or somewhere in between, this group is for you.

The 6 Types of Coping Skills

Begins: Monday, Oct. 7, 2019
Time: 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Duration: 6 weeks
Group type: Closed
Closing Date: Oct. 14, 2019

Do you struggle with managing stress and self-care? Do you want to learn how to become more resilient? Each week this group will cover a healthy coping skill category and practice ways to use these coping strategies on your own.

Sleep Like a Baby

Begins: Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2019
Time: 1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Duration: 6 weeks
Group type: Closed
Closing Date: Oct. 16, 2019
