Samantha Collette studied fashion in college, but fell in love with her R.A. job. Now, she combines both of her superpowers as a conduct professional at her alma mater. Hear about the way she weaves her educational philosophy into relationships of respect, trust and magical authenticity with students. She's the "cool girl" on campus who eases fears and promotes reflective learning. When you're done listening, you might consider adding lemonade, fish earrings or a pair of skates to your conduct toolkit. Follow Sam's Fashion Forward Higher Ed on LinkedIn.

Colette and Kurt reminisce about their trip to the national conference of the Association of Student Conduct Administrators. Their first on-site podcasting experience generated friendship, professional growth and fashion inspiration.

**WARNING** The audio files from the conference interviews are very poor quality, but we really wanted to honor all the folks who generously gave time for interviews. Thank you, kind souls!

We have a YouTube version of the episode with subtitles at https://youtu.be/CrLG28UxJoo

While getting back into our routines after the conference for the Association of Student Conduct Administrators (and enjoying a snow day!) we wanted to provide a quick bonus episode about a unique way to address the ubiquitous noisy neighbor issue. We'd love to hear what approaches you've used with residence hall community members who are just plain fed up.

As the national conference of student conduct professionals comes to a close, Kurt and Colette reflect on the dedication, expertise and fashion sense of college conduct officers. ***Heads up that the audio quality of our road recordings was very poor, but we are editing our hearts out in hopes of making our colleagues shine in our conference recaps.***

Kurt invites his first conduct supervisor, Cyndi Freeman, to reflect on her journey and philosophy in student conduct and engagement. They discuss memorable discipline cases, the importance of educational outcomes, and the role of mentorship in shaping future conduct officers. They note the significance and long-lasting impact of safe spaces for dialogue for all. Cyndi talks about the relevance of popular culture in education and the imperative of modeling a civil community for students. **NOTE** Don't forget, Colette and Kurt will be at ASCA next week giving out Ms. Behavior swag. If you won't make it to the conference, use our Fan Mail link to text us, and we might just surprise you!

Colette and Kurt engage in a deep conversation with Emily, a student conduct and care professional, about her experiences managing a crisis on campus involving a hate group. They discuss the importance of community communication, the emotional toll of such events, and the strategies for processing and coping with the aftermath. Emily shares insights on the significance of being present, maintaining a focus on our institutional values, and the necessity of self-care in the face of adversity. The conversation highlights the challenges and responsibilities of those in higher education to honor First Amendment rights while also fostering a safe and learning-centered environment for all students.
