At the NASPA Annual Conference, Dr. Kersh will serve on the panel, "Beyond Mentorship: The Transformative Role of Coaching," on March 11. Using case studies and insights, panelists will declassify myths about coaching and its role as a potent, innovative tool for staff empowerment and growth and team dynamics. They'll discuss how to budget for coaching, manage challenges, and measure for success. Dr. Kersh will share insights on how she used coaching in her previous role as vice president at Simmons University, and how she hopes to use it in UMBC's Division of Student Affairs."Beyond Mentorship" will be led by Dr. Adam Cebulski, founder and CEO of transform.forward, a strategy consulting and coaching firm, and also includes panelist Dr. Jose Luis-Riera, vice president for student life at the University of Delaware.
Dr. Kersh is also a panelist for "Defining Womanhood" at the USM Women's Forum Women's History Month webinar on March 13. The panel will discuss characteristics that contribute to their definition of womanhood and share how these characteristics and qualities present themselves in their personal and professional lives.
Additional panelists for "Defining Womanhood" will include Kelsey Beckett, chief of staff and director of operations in USM's Office of Academic and Student Affairs, and Shantala Thompson, associate director of University of Maryland's LGBTQ+ Equity Center. It is moderated by Dr. Allyson DeMaagd, coordinator for sexuality and gender diversity at Towson University.
