Keeping all this in mind, please write your statement responding to the prompts below. Your statement must not exceed 1,000 words (approximately four pages), double-spaced. Please use a 12-point font. What do you understand to be the work of student affairs, within the college/university as well as regarding the education of students? Why does that speak to you as a professional goal? Describe what steps of reflection guide you personally and/or professionally as you engage others. Please discuss a situation that highlights your strengths and challenges when working with others (e.g., academic group project, work experience, athletic team, service project, etc.). How do your GPA and undergraduate program of study reflect your ability to learn, reflect, and academically succeed in a graduate program? Why do you believe CSU and the SAHE program would be the most appropriate space for you to achieve your professional goals in student affairs?
