My responsibilities include planning cluster-wide events, meeting individually and as a group with student staff members to advise them on current issues in the cluster, 10 hours of academic advising each week, conflict mediation and support for various student situations, serving in an on-call rotation, assisting with department-wide events such as staff training and the room draw process, chairing the Student Staff Selection Committee, and other duties as assigned.Supervisor recommendation: "Ashley is a dynamic, poised, and engaging student affairs professional. I previously supervised her in her role as a Residence Life Coordinator at Grinnell College. During that time Ashley served as a strong leader on our team. She frequently took initiative in making sure that programs and processes took place during a period of significant turnover. In that same period of time she also showed a high level of dedication in helping new staff acclimate to their roles. Ashley is a caring, supportive, and invested team player. She has a high level of commitment to social justice and uses that passion to create innovative, engaging, and dynamic programs for students. In her role as a primary responder for campus emergencies, Ashley demonstrated an excellent ability to deescalate situations and provide a high level of support for students. I felt privileged to have Ashley as a member of our team while I was at Grinnell and am confident she has a very bright future as a higher education and student affairs professional. "
