Expert Panel
The Tension Between the First Amendment, Safety, and Inclusivity: Law, Policy and the Role of Counseling Centers
Sunday, October 20 | 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Free speech under the First Amendment is a bedrock of the U.S. Constitution. Over the past few years, many of us have witnessed the impact that hateful speech has had on our campus communities, and particularly for our students, faculty, and staff with marginalized identities. Some campuses have tried to find ways of limiting speech from individuals who espouse ideas antithetical to the values of the college or university, some campuses and campus administrators have been criticized for not curbing or thwarting certain speech in deference to student safety and inclusivity, and there is a legislative movement in some states to re-assert the sanctity of the First Amendment. Campus counseling centers are often left to support students who are adversely impacted by these competing tensions. Understanding the law, the limitations on campuses, and how to best support students who are impacted is the topic of this keynote panel.

Surviving and Thriving as a New Director Program: An Introductory Leadership Institute
This full-day Introductory Leadership Institute is designed for directors in the early stages of their directorship (new to three years) and will address leadership development and management issues. The Institute is comprised of four modules: cultivating your style and values as a leader, understanding the multiple roles of a director, a roundtable discussion of administrative issues (data/budget, personnel, stakeholders, and open questions), and a senior director panel. The overall goal of the Introductory Leadership Institute is to provide an opportunity for directors in the early stage of their career to develop their understanding of the skills involved in leading and managing a College/University Counseling Center. Additionally, it is our goal to foster an environment of connection and resourceful partnership between colleagues.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss different leadership styles to better recognize personal leadership values and preferences.
- Analyze personal and professional dilemmas and complexities associated with leading a counseling center.
- Identify and clarify multiple roles which may be required to engage in as a director.
- Discuss with more seasoned directors and fellow new directors administrative content areas that are typically challenging for new directors (e.g. budget, personnel, interacting with stakeholders).
- Develop perspective on the skills and challenges inherent to long-term success and satisfaction in the director role.
New Director and First Time Attendee Program
The New Director/First Time Attendee (NDFTA) program aims to introduce new colleagues to all that AUCCCD has to offer and to foster connections with those of us who have more experience with the organization and our conferences. At the heart of the NDFTA program are the "conference connector" pairings, where we match our NDFTAs with more "seasoned directors" for a meet-up prior to the Saturday night opening reception. Our goal is for all interested NDFTAs to receive support in navigating the AUCCCD conference. As we can all remember from when we were newbies, attending AUCCCD for the first time can often feel overwhelming. Having a more experienced colleague make introductions to other directors and provide tips on how to make the most of the conference can really make a difference. NDFTA directors may sign up for this program complimentary during the registration process. This program will take place Saturday, October 19, from 4:30 - 6:00 PM.
