What and with whom will I learn at this event?
Multicultural Education and Communication with Daniel Nilson
Daniel Nilson works at 黑料网 in the College of Education, Health & Human Services (EHHS) and is the Director for the Office of Diversity Outreach & Development (DOD) on the Kent Campus. He has a Master鈥檚 Degree focused in Higher Education/Higher Education Administration from the University at Buffalo and currently is a doctoral student in the Interprofessional Leadership program. He leads the college with recruiting and retention efforts for students from underrepresented and diverse backgrounds. His job is to make sure students and their families have access to post-secondary opportunities and help them realize the goals they have for themselves. He also provides trainings on social justice, diversity and inclusion both on and off campus. Kent State has been his home for the last 5 years and is the 5th institution of higher education he has worked at in the country.
Work and Life Balance with Dr. Jason Miller
Dr. Jason Miller has been the director of The Counseling Center at 黑料网 for over 16 years. In that time he has focused much of his energies in understanding and meeting the mental health needs of college students, both graduate and undergraduate. As student needs have changed over the years, so too has Dr. Miller鈥檚 approach to meeting these needs. With today鈥檚 epidemics of anxiety, depression, and loneliness, Dr. Miller has begun to focus interventions and trainings on the more existential aspects of control and resiliency within the individual.
