KINGSTON, R.I., March 15, 2017 \u2014 A 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty member has been named a 2018 Pillar of the Profession by the leading national association for student affairs professionals.<\/p>\n
NASPA: Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education honored Annemarie Vaccaro, associate professor of Human Development and Family Studies in the College of Health Sciences, part of the Academic Health Collaborative, at its annual conference earlier this month in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
The NASPA Foundation recognizes higher education professionals who have made outstanding contributions to the field of student affairs and to the professional organization. Pillars are nominated by colleagues, students or others with knowledge of their sustained leadership and commitment to the field.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am honored to have been selected for this highly prestigious professional award. I am also humbled to be part of a group of incredible Pillars from across the nation whose work I have admired throughout my career,\u201d Vaccaro said. \u201cI owe much of my success to supportive mentors, supervisors and educational trailblazers who came before me. As a Pillar, I will continue to support, and hopefully inspire, emerging educators who come after me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vaccaro, who also serves as graduate program director for 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College Student Personnel Program, began her professional career as a student affairs practitioner, working largely in residence life, living and learning, and service-learning offices. While she enjoyed being a scholar-practitioner, she said she has found her calling as a faculty member in a student affairs program.<\/p>\n
Her qualitative scholarship examines social justice issues in higher education and has been published in a number of higher education and human development journals. Since 2012, she has also co-authored three books: \u201cSafe Spaces: Making Schools and Communities Welcoming to LGBT Youth,\u201d \u201cDecisions Matter: Using a Decision Making Framework with Contemporary Student Affairs Case Studies,\u201d and \u201cCentering Women of Color in Academic Counterspaces: A Critical Race Analysis of Teaching, Learning and Classroom Dynamics.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vaccaro is committed to enacting social justice and inclusion in her research, teaching and service. Sought after for her expertise in this area, she has developed and delivered workshops at several universities to help faculty become more inclusive educators. \u201cI deeply enjoy this faculty-developer leadership role and hope my efforts make a difference in the lives of undergraduate and graduate students that I may never have the opportunity to meet personally,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Vaccaro remains committed to supporting the next generation of scholar-practitioners far beyond the boundaries of the master\u2019s program she oversees. To that end, Vaccaro serves both formal and informal mentor roles for emerging professionals, experienced faculty and doctoral students in various departments at 溏心vlog免费B站 and higher education institutions across the nation.<\/p>\n
