Overview:

Student staff are critical to the success of many student affairs units and can also be important developmental experiences for the students themselves. However, many student staff positions are underutilized when it comes to cultivating these experiences, especially when it comes to performance evaluations. Utilizing the frameworks of intersectionality theory and the Learning Partnerships Model (LPM), the Pride Center at Lehigh University implemented a comprehensive  360° review process for student staff members with the intent of fostering self-authorship and critical reflection. These  360° reviews contribute to our desired developmental outcomes for our student staff which include understanding social location, identifying personal areas of growth, cultivating collaborative relationships with others, and being equipped with transferable skills. Our intentionality throughout this process has created an environment that allows for intentional reflection, both individually and collectively, as we work to build an exemplary student staff experience.
