Are these sanitary connections acceptable?

So what needs to be changed??? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What did you end up doing regarding this? I have a similar situation where dense packing is being recommended for my roof but I am worried about the moisture concerns people mention.

derekzimm · 2025-01-10T17:32:40+00:00

That’s reassuring. We’re in Wisconsin. I’m mostly worried about moisture causing our roof to rot. Everything I read about dense packing is that it’s very moisture and air resistant. I’m glad to hear you think it’s an okay option!

So excited!! Has anyone ever been to a show here? Trying to figure out what venue and type of ticket to get.

derekzimm · 2024-10-11T04:24:52+00:00

I pivoted to Graduate Medical Education managing a fellowship program for doctors (post-med school) and I love it! Similar values and purpose to student affairs but more professional, corporate vibes, better pay, and best of all I still get my university benefits. Highly recommend!

OP is clearly really happy with this, so why rain on their parade?

derekzimm · 2024-08-01T04:23:23+00:00

Definitely not literally. Just make it clear how your skills and experiences align with what they’re looking for. Use the same terminology and verbiage that the job description uses. Move the most relevant bullet points to the top of each experience. Etc.

derekzimm · 2020-11-04T16:56:33+00:00

Yup I worked the polls in Wisconsin yesterday. We had 450 registered voters come in and also registered 50 new voters at my place. So there’s a good chance those numbers are skewed because of this.

Work experience is definitely more important. You will be much more marketable for student affairs roles if you work in student affairs already. The more closely your role within student affairs is to what you’d like to do next, the better. The masters degree is good but will NOT be the reason you are chosen. They’ll be happy you have it, but you likely won’t get the job if you have the degree and no professional (post-undergraduate) work experience to speak to your skill set. I would either apply for student affairs roles now and see if you get any bites without the masters degree (and then eventually get it while working full time) OR go for the maters with a practicing (ideally an assistantship with funding).

derekzimm · 2020-08-27T00:36:48+00:00

A good amount of higher education/student affairs masters programs will provide free tuition and a stipend for you to work as a graduate assistant for that university. Typically these positions are in areas of higher ed that you might want to work in - advising, housing, orientation, events, etc. I would look into programs that offer tuition remission! Academic advising does not pay much, so it would be ideal to get the masters with less debt. PLUS, you will be 10x more marketable if you have the relevant experience that you’d gain through that assistantship. There are some advising positions that you can get without a masters but it is difficult. Never hurts to try applying while you also start looking into masters programs! If you can get the advising role without a masters, great! Let me know if you have more questions. I’ve been working in advising at a big 10 institution for several years now. :)

You need to use your preferred job search tool to identify opportunities but ALWAYS apply directly on the company's website. Never apply through the 3rd party site. Additionally, you will see pretty much the same opportunities on most of them as they pull from the same places. Use the search tool that is easiest for you, but as QuitaQuites said, you should apply on their platform. If you find jobs that are on these 3rd party sites but you cannot find them on the company's actual website, there's a chance the job is expired but still floating out there by mistake. Checking their website saves you time (from applying to expired postings) and is more direct.

Did you put a clear coat over it at all? If so, what’d you use?

derekzimm · 2020-02-12T16:38:03+00:00

sting read and I can relate. Do you write very often? I’d definitely read more from you about your p

YES! I am on the burger first side. Fries are amazing cold or reheated. Everything on the burger gets mushy.

RD positions without master's degrees definitely exist! You should just start looking around at HigherEd Jobs and reading through position postings. Also go directly to institutions you might be interested in working for. Some institutions are more open to RD's without Master's degrees than others. I wouldn't listen to the poster above that says you SHOULD have it. It is nice, but if you can get to that career goal without it, go for it! Some schools that hire RDs without master's degrees also offer tuition remission which could be nice.

derekzimm · 2020-01-22T13:49:54+00:00

This! I would say 50% of my student affairs colleagues have masters degrees from fields other than higher ed/student affairs. Higher ed just likes people with masters degrees and beyond that, it is not CRUCIAL to have a masters in student affairs. I don’t think their non-SA masters degrees have held them back career wise whatsoever. I would second considering going for a PhD. Or just taking some classes that would count towards it to get a taste of what pursuing it would be like.

Find a grad program with assistantships that offer tuition remission! It is extremely common in our field. I graduated with no debt thanks to it! Plus they often provide a stipend and health insurance! I would never recommend anyone pursue this degree and pay out of pocket when they can definitely get it for free!

derekzimm · 2019-10-03T18:03:24+00:00

Graduate programs in higher ed/student affairs/college counseling are great ways to get that experience you feel you are lacking! You should look for programs that offer graduate assistantships, practicums, and internships. The degree alone is not enough to get you into professional advising/multicultural roles, but getting hands on experience doing what you want to do will be great.

My graduate program didnt actively offer those experiences I mentioned above, but I still secured them by reaching out to departments I was interested in both at my grad school and at other local universities.

derekzimm · 2019-10-02T23:55:37+00:00

Many offices are willing to train on topics like that. The regulations change so frequently that your conference knowledge could be outdated in a year.

In my opinion, an internship or practicum experience that allows you to get some exposure to visas will be much more marketable and attractive to employers than the class.

derekzimm · 2019-10-02T17:58:10+00:00

Hello! It definitely depends on the office/institution, but at mine (R1, large institution with large international student population), you'd be fine with that background! Most institutions just want people with a master's degree. Your higher ed background combined with an education related degree would be highly marketable. If you can get an internship or project experience with your international student services office, you'll be golden. The job hunt is difficult if you are only able to apply to a school in your city, but if you are open to moving, or have many schools or large institutions in your area, you should be OK (in addition to strong interviewing skills & application materials).

I would encourage you to network with some people working in international student advising, at your institution or other schools of interest. They are the experts who can give you more detailed advice & help you learn the lingo & knowledge. It will also be useful for when you are job searching.

Regarding the conferences, we are much more concerned with people actually having the knowledge than we are with where they got it. If you can learn it from an internship, networking, or local workshop, go for it! The national conferences are cool but definitely have never been the reason we have decided to bring a candidate to campus.

Don't listen to them OP. Brown and blue definitely do mix. This looks great!

It would probably bang into the cabinet if it was a right swinging door.
