CAREER WELLBEING: THE NEW MEASURE OF A COLLEGE DEGREE Join Brandon Busteed, Executive Director of Gallup Education as he presents, "Career Wellbeing: The New Measure of A College Degree." Brandon Busteed leads the development of Gallup's education work. His career spans a wide range of important work in education as an educational entrepreneur, speaker, writer, and university trustee. Busteed's work involves integrating Gallup's research and science on selection, strengths, engagement, and wellbeing to improve student success, teacher effectiveness, and educational outcomes. His mission is to create a national movement to measure the educational outcomes that matter most, connect education to jobs and job creation, and promote a paradigm shift from knowledge mastery to emotional engagement in education. Busteed has founded two companies and one nonprofit organization as a social entrepreneur. He is the founder and former CEO of Outside The Classroom , a company that pioneered adaptive online education in alcohol abuse prevention. A three-‐year, 30-‐school, national study funded by the National Institutes of Health showed that AlcoholEdu -‐ the organization's flagship alcohol-‐abuse prevention program -‐ was effective in reducing binge drinking, drunk driving, and sexual assaults. More than 4 million students have taken this program, which is the only course of its kind proven to change behavior. The company was acquired by EverFi in 2011. Busteed is a nationally known speaker and author on education policy and public health. He has written frequently for The Chronicle of Higher Education, Trusteeship Magazine, The Huffington Post, and other publications. Busteed's work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and USA Today and on NPR and the NBC News "TODAY" show, among others. Busteed received his bachelor's degree in public policy from Duke University. He is a trustee emeritus of Duke and has served on the Board of Visitors of the Sanford School of Public Policy. He is a member of Young Presidents' Organization and serves on the National Board of Directors for Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. A former two-‐sport NCAA Division 1 athlete at Duke, Busteed continues to hone his competitive drive as an avid CrossFitter. He lives in McLean, Virginia, with his wife, Deanna, and two children, Anabelle and Harrison.

Upcoming Professional Development Opportunity
Office Update
Below is a highlight of some of the projects completed by the staff members in the Assessment and Professional Development Office during the month of April. For more information on any of these projects, please contact Cole Taylor at [email protected] or Stephanie Helms Pickett at [email protected]. Assessment Methods Pilot: The office worked with Dining Services to create an online poll featured on the Dinning website. This poll allowed students to share feedback on the food carts available on campus. Through this assessment several methods to improve future online polls was found including limiting the number of times a student could complete the poll and marketing the poll through social media sites and the main Student Affairs webpage. Poster Fair Update: Staff members in the office will be available to assist in developing posters for the 3rd Annual Poster Fair. LDOC Assessment: The office will be assisting in the administration of the LDOC survey that will be available next month.
