  • Leveling Up: Raven Jemison's Guide to Authentic Leadership

    Leveling Up: Raven Jemison's Guide to Authentic Leadership
    2026/05/17
    In the Season 14 finale of Student Affairs Voices from the Field, powerhouse sports executive Raven Jemison joins Dr. Jill Creighton for a masterclass in authentic leadership, resilience, and self-advocacy. Whether you're an early-career professional or a seasoned leader, this conversation offers actionable insights you can carry into your next student affairs challenge. A Journey Shaped by Passion and Persistence Raven Jemison, now president of the Kansas City Current, didn't set out to break barriers in the male-dominated world of professional sports leadership. Originally on a path to optometry, she pivoted to sports business after following her heart—and a newspaper ad—to her first sales gig with the Florida Panthers. From there, her determination propelled her career through multiple leagues, culminating in her historic role overseeing the first purpose-built women's soccer stadium in the world. Leadership 'Cheat Codes' for Every Professional A highlight from the episode is Raven Jemison's discussion of her book, More Than the Cheat Codes to Your Own Seat at the Table. Drawing on the nostalgic spirit of old-school video games, she shares "cheat codes" for professional success. One standout tip? Every six months, take time to reflect on not just your daily duties, but the value you've added, and what new skills you need to keep growing. As Dr. Jill Creighton and Raven Jemison discuss at 08:52, this practice is just as relevant in higher ed as it is on the business side of sports. Boundaries, Balance, and Being Seen A recurring theme is the importance of protecting your peace, especially in high-visibility roles that demand constant energy. Raven Jemison candidly recounts a pivotal moment in her career when she asked for time off during an NBA All-Star event—a decision made from necessity, not fear, and met with unexpected support. Her advice? Set clear boundaries, advocate for your needs, and trust that your contributions—and your well-being—both matter (17:03). Building Genuine Connections and Communities Finding the right advocates, making friendships at work, and supporting others forms another pillar of Raven Jemison's philosophy. She urges professionals to know themselves first, then intentionally find and nurture supportive relationships, both inside and outside the workplace (21:18). Tune In and Level Up This episode is full of wisdom for anyone looking to move forward intentionally, serve students effectively, and lead with purpose. Listen to the full conversation for strategies you can apply today—your next professional "level up" may be just a podcast away!

    2026/05/10
    In the latest season finale of "Student Affairs Voices from the Field," Dr. Jill Creighton welcomes a new leader to the NASPA community: Chelsea Peterson, NASPA's inaugural Vice President for Public Relations and Communications. This timely and inspiring conversation is not just an introduction to Chelsea Peterson's impressive background—it's a deep exploration of what makes the student affairs profession so essential in higher education today. Dr. Jill Creighton and Chelsea Peterson delve into the ongoing evolution of student affairs, the importance of community, and the powerful impact these professionals have on students' lives. Chelsea Peterson shares her own winding professional journey: from her days as a student-athlete and college basketball coach to leading award-winning marketing teams in student affairs at WashU—and now, bringing her vision and expertise to NASPA. This theme of growth, self-discovery, and purposeful change is woven throughout the episode, reminding us all that career paths aren't always linear, and every step brings value. A major thread in the discussion is the vital role of community that NASPA creates for student affairs professionals at every career stage.

Chelsea Peterson candidly describes the ongoing work to clarify and communicate these offerings, recognizing that needs differ across entry-level, mid-tier, and senior professionals. She shares hopes for even more personalized member engagement and visibility in the near future. You'll also hear moving stories illustrating the value of student affairs—like the first-generation student-athlete Chelsea Peterson mentored, who, against many odds, became the first in her family to graduate. These stories speak volumes about the transformational nature of the field: It's about creating spaces where every student can find support, community, and a sense of belonging. Finally, the conversation touches on the importance of advocacy for student affairs and the ways communication (even AI!) can help cut through the "noise" on today's campuses, ensuring student support services are understood and valued. If you're seeking an episode that spotlights inspiration, community, and practical insight—don't miss this thoughtful exchange.

  • Fostering Civic Discourse: Tools for Campus Leaders and Student Affairs

    Fostering Civic Discourse: Tools for Campus Leaders and Student Affairs
    2026/05/03
    If you're looking to better understand the evolving landscape of civic discourse on college campuses—and why it matters more than ever for higher education professionals—then you won't want to miss the latest episode of "Student Affairs Voices from the Field." Hosted by Dr. Jill Creighton and featuring guest Jill Dunlap, this episode dives deep into the challenges, opportunities, and innovative solutions for fostering constructive conversations and civic engagement in higher education. A timely conversation, the episode opens with Dr. Jill Creighton welcoming Jill Dunlap back to the podcast and noting the sea change in student affairs policy and engagement work since her last appearance. Jill Dunlap, who has been with NASPA for nearly a decade and now oversees policy and civic engagement, brings first-hand insight into how students are reacting to new policies, especially those affecting graduate student borrowing. As she shares, many students aren't fully aware of major policy shifts that could impact their future opportunities, underscoring the need for student affairs professionals to step up as guides and advocates. Central to their conversation is NASPA's upcoming "Civic Discourse on Campus Virtual Summit"—a brand new, fully online initiative designed to gather campus leaders, policy experts, and innovative practitioners to share tools, strategies, and research for nurturing robust civic dialogue in campus communities. Both Dr. Jill Creighton and Jill Dunlap stress the significance of equipping students to engage respectfully across political and personal differences, especially in a climate marked by polarization and the aftermath of the pandemic. Listeners gain an insider's perspective on what the summit will offer: keynote presentations, breakout sessions on measuring the impact of civic dialogue, facilitating deliberative forums, partnering with faculty, and more (06:12–13:14). Student affairs professionals at every level will find relevant content, whether they're administrating at the VP level or working directly in residence halls. Importantly, all sessions will be recorded and available for later viewing, making the summit accessible for busy schedules. This episode is packed with actionable ideas and authentic reflection on the responsibilities student affairs professionals share in shaping the next generation's civic life. As campuses brace for high-stakes election cycles, and as societal challenges spill over into collegiate life, the tools and support discussed here are essential. Whether you're a campus leader or an aspiring practitioner, tune in to be inspired—and consider joining the conversation at NASPA's Civic Discourse on Campus Virtual Summit this May. Listen now and get equipped for the important work ahead!

Dr. Jill Creighton [00:00:30]: We are live at the annual conference, so for our listeners, you might hear a little bit of different audio quality because we're trying a new setup, but we're also here in person.

Dr. Jill Creighton [00:00:42]: We had you on the POD almost four years ago now to talk about some of the work that you were doing around Title ix. And now we're back to talk about a brand new NASPA initiative called the Civic Dialogue Summit. I'm really excited to learn more about that, but it's been a minute since you've been on the pod, and since then your role has changed. Can you tell us a little bit more about you and how you got to your current seat at NASA? Jill Dunlap [00:01:03]: Yeah, absolutely. So I started at NASA. Oh my gosh, I think it's going to be 10 years this November. So I've been here a minute, and since the time that I last spoke to you all, I have added policy duties and civic engagement to my portfolio. And that was just due to different staff transitions and sort of me saying, hey, I'm available and would love to do some additional duties while I'm at NASA. I also teach political science as an adjunct. And so it's a nice way for me to bring what I'm learning here to the classroom and vice versa.
