Student Affairs

Community Overview

Professional Communities of BYU staff and administrative personnel exist to promote professional and career development. Each community is led by experienced, capable personnel who constitute a council to help achieve the developmental objectives of the members of the community. The Career Development Council (CDC) develops a career framework that describes the path for professional growth within a community and the skills necessary to move along that path. The CDC also recognizes and rewards the significant developmental milestones of the community members. The Student Affairs Community has been created to support and nurture the career development of those professionals here at BYU that have experience and strong interest in continuing or becoming a part of career opportunities in any student affairs related field. Members may come from the BYU Campus Life division or from those playing a part in student affairs throughout campus in either academic, administrative, or auxiliary services. This document describes who is presently serving on the CDC and how to interact with them. It also lists the Student Affairs Community members, shows the Career Framework, and shares the Competencies and Skills that are valued by the Community in order to foster and achieve career development and growth.
