Breanna Harris

Assessment, Advocacy, and Networking: I have contemplated the value of professional networks, and I have found that my involvement in the Southern Association for College and Student Affairs (SACSA) has been invaluable to my network and goal achievement.  Throughout my time in higher education, I have seen the political nature emerge as a powerful force that one must recognize and become competent in. 

Skill Development: Throughout my graduate work, I have organized many programs and developmental opportunities for those around me to gain knowledge in certain skill areas to remain engaged with the institution and the educational experience.

Hiring and Staffing: I am highly aware of my institution's fair and ethical recruitment and hiring.  In my graduate work, I handle the hiring, training, scheduling, and termination of a student staff of 50 undergraduates and 12 graduates. I strive to ensure diversity and equity remain a core value of our staff, and I am proud to say I have been able to incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion in all of our hiring practices.
