Translating Well-Being Data into Action: Leveraging Your Expertise
The McDonald Center for Student Well-Being biannually implements the National College Health Assessment, a tool
that provides insight into the health status of Notre Dame students. By taking a deeper dive into the data and
dissecting it by subpopulations, we have the opportunity to develop synergistic partnerships that maximize impact
for the students in greatest need. Join us for an interactive roundtable session dedicated to highlighting key data
points gathered from various special populations, followed by a moderated brainstorming session on ways we can all
work together and build on each other’s strengths to better serve our students.
Presented by:
Katrina Conrad, Assistant Director for Student Well-Being,
Jenna Gehl Jones, Assistant Director for Emotional Well-Being, and

Kindergarten to College to Career
As student affairs professionals, we often try to meet students "where they are." This is a great strategy to support
their continued growth. However, "where they are" is a culmination of "where they have been" and a precursor to
"where they want to go." When it comes to making any decision, especially when choosing potential career paths,
our students are faced with an overwhelming amount of information. Learn how to best support them in making
"informed-decisions" by focusing on VALUES, INTERESTS, SKILLS, and PERSONALITY.

Notre Dame Story Nights and Civil Discourse Conversations
For the past seven years I have hosted what has come to be known as Notre Dame Story Nights in my room in Dillon
Hall. I invite 10-12 first-year students from different ethnic, racial, cultural, and economic backgrounds. Each
student is asked to share their "How I got to Notre Dame Story" with the other first-year students. Each year, I host
approximately 200 students. This year I have begun hosting other groups of students which I am calling "Civil
Discourse Conversations." I invite 16 students who represent as much diversity as possible: racial, cultural, ethnic,
country of origin, economic, sexual orientation, political, and more. Each student is invited (for three minutes) to
address the question "from my point of view, what are the most pressing needs of young people today?" After all 16
have spoken, there is time for discussion and conversation.

Strong social connections are critical for quality work, job satisfaction, happiness, resilience, and physical health.
Kindness is the key factor in strengthening social bonds. In this seminar, participants will learn what science says
are the benefits of kindness, compassion, and civility in the workplace, the mysterious barriers to kindness, the costs of
lack of respect, and easy evidence- based ways to create a culture of kindness at work.

University Counseling Center's “Being Curious” Initiative

Cannabis 101- What you need to know
The legalization of marijuana in states across the US, as well as our neighbors to the north, has amplified the national
conversation about the drug. While the perception of risk among students is low, this interactive session seeks to
look a little deeper at whether that perception is accurate. Using data, research and personal experience on the Notre
Dame campus, this session will address risks, trends and prevention efforts around marijuana use for Notre
Dame students.
