In the 23rd episode of the HigherEdJobs Podcast, listeners can hear from Mark Coldren, the Associate Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer at the University at Buffalo, SUNY. Coldren, who has previously served as the chair of the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR) National Board of Directors, shares valuable insights from his extensive experience.
This episode addresses several pertinent topics:
- Coldren suggests a particular term that he believes should be eliminated from the language surrounding conferences and professional development.
- He provides strategies for individuals seeking to advocate for their own professional growth, particularly in relation to funding, associations, and conference attendance.
- Challenging conventional views, Coldren argues that the standard notion of ‘preferred experience’ in job advertisements can be misleading, positing that a longer resume does not necessarily correlate with innovative ideas.
- He also offers thoughtful recommendations for professional associations aiming to engage younger members and foster a stronger commitment among this demographic.
