MAHETABLE OF CONTENTS

Welcome to Taylor University’s Master of Arts in Higher Education & Student Development program! Just as you carefully selected a graduate program, so we carefully considered your needs as a student. You will play a very important part in the Taylor community over the next two years, and we want to equip you in a way that you can focus on what is most important: learning and growing as a student and a disciple of Christ.

This MAHE Student Handbook is designed to assist you as you make the transition to graduate life. You will also receive the Graduate School Handbook and the Odyssey handbook, two other extremely useful resources. The main purpose of the MAHE student handbook is to supplement these two sources by providing MAHE-specific information. In fact, the Graduate School Handbook will be your primary source for general, campus-wide information including: computer services, meal plans, health insurance, library services, and a host of other important campus resources. You will receive a hard copy of the Graduate School Handbook, but you can also access the Graduate School Handbook by following this link: http://www.taylor.edu/academics/graduate/graduate-program-campus-information.shtml In many cases, the MAHE handbook will refer you to specific sections in the Graduate Student Handbook and Odyssey, rather than simply repeating information that you may have already seen. Ultimately, our hope is that the MAHE handbook will guide you in the right direction as you seek answers to important and often very practical questions.

Please know that while we have prepared this handbook as comprehensively as possible, we understand that you may still have questions throughout your time at Taylor. Current students are a great source of information, and above all, the MAHE faculty and staff members are here to serve and be a resource for you. If you ever need assistance with anything, please feel free to contact me or Heather Sandlin.

Again, we are excited that you have decided to join us on this graduate school journey. Know that we are here for you, and we are excited to learn and work together in the coming years!

Sincerely,Kelly Yordy MAHE Program Services Director

MAHEColleges and universities are full of excitement. Campuses are literally alive with possibility. Think of it -- in the venue of a single college or university, there is an unbelievable mix of ideas, people, information and activity all harboring the potential to foster learning, growth, development and the formation of lifelong commitments. I cannot begin to think of another environment that could possibly be more exhilarating. Our awareness of the incredible potential of higher education leads us to believe that the desire to work within this environment is a noble and worthy dream. It is, in fact, a dream that we want to nurture. In that spirit, we are looking for students who share our dream and who are committed to the hard work and preparation that it takes to achieve it.

As you join us, I assure you that you will experience challenging, stimulating and engaging classes; be mentored by caring, committed and experienced faculty; gain meaningful, hands-on, professional experience; and have the opportunity to observe outstanding student development and academic programs in an institution recognized for longstanding excellence in Christ-centered, whole-person education.

On behalf of the faculty of the Master of Arts in Higher Education & Student Development program at Taylor University, let me say how grateful we are that you here! We are very excited about the learning, professional, and personal opportunities that this program will afford you and we look forward to exploring with you how being in this program aligns with God’s direction for your future.

Warmly,Tim Herrmann, Ph.D.Graduate Chair, M.A in Higher Education & Student Development

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

MISSION, HERITAGE, LTC

Mission The intent of the MAHE program is to prepare graduates to provide thoughtful and effective service within diverse higher educational settings. It employs an engaged instructional methodology to teach, model, and promote whole person education and to cultivate change agents who will provide exemplary higher educational service and leadership from a Christian perspective.

Heritage In the mid 1960’s, Taylor University President Milo Rediger determined that student development personnel played a critical role in the educational process. With support from the faculty he came to two important conclusions: 1. Student Development personnel were educators whose teaching extended beyond the classroom. Thus, they would be identified, trained, and positioned as members of the faculty. 2. As educators and agents of community, Student Development professionals should be educationally equipped for the vital roles they performed.Simply stated, the Rediger philosophy was that student affairs personnel were teachers whose classrooms were the residence halls, counseling offices, and student government meeting rooms of the campus.For the past 50 years, this philosophy has not only shaped institutional operations but effectively enhanced community life at Taylor and is in large part responsible for the unique brand of whole person education for which Taylor has become known.Taylor University now invites you to connect with current research, thinking critically in order to form a personal philosophy of Student Development that will inspire your future work in this field.

Implementation of LTC Expectations for Graduate StudentsThe Taylor University Life Together Covenant (LTC) is intended to foster Christ-centered community. This covenant sets forth the principles and guidelines that have allowed Taylor University and its students, faculty and staff to enjoy an atmosphere that encourages integrity in faith and relationship. Throughout most of Taylor’s history the LTC has governed a relatively homogeneous student body of full-time, traditional age, on-campus students. However, with the addition of adult and graduate programs the student body now contains a significant number of adult learners, who may be at different developmental levels and who interact with the university community in ways that are different than the traditional undergraduate. The following implementation guidelines have been developed to clarify graduate student responsibilities in relationship to the May 2006 revision of the Life Together Covenant (LTC). To be effective June 1, 2013.

1. The LTC identifies the expectations for living in community as we seek to fulfill our mission. It is difficult to create a community with expectations that are totally acceptable to every member. Nevertheless, certain responsibilities and expectations must be specified to assure orderly community life consistent with our mission. When individuals join the Taylor community, they freely and willingly choose to take upon themselves the responsibilities and expectations outlined in this covenant. The University Expectations are not intended to measure spirituality or to promote legalism. Nevertheless, Galatians 5:13-14 reminds us that while we were called to be free, our freedom is best used when we serve one another in love (Romans 14; 1 Corinthians 8, 10:23-33). It is within this framework that the following implementation guidelines have been developed. 2. As a condition of enrollment, all students must affirm their willingness to abide by the Biblical Responsibilities and University Expectations contained in the LTC. Affirmation occurs with the signing of the application for admission. 3. Application – degree-seeking graduate students are encouraged to follow the LTC–Biblical Responsibilities at all times. Graduate students are required to adhere to both the Biblical Responsibilities and the University Expectations of the LTC when they are on campus, during off-campus class sessions, actively participating in university-sponsored events, and in the presence of Taylor undergraduate students. They are encouraged to follow the LTC–University Expectations at all other times as long as they are registered in a degree program. Lastly, graduate students are expected to exercise mature judgment and discernment in their behavior in ways that honor Christ, themselves, and the mission of the University.5

MAHEHOUSING AND FOOD SERVICES

Housing OptionsMAHE students with residence life assistantships receive free housing in the residence hall in which their assistantship is located as part of their assistantship stipend. Students with assistantships outside of residence life have a number of local, affordable housing options. These options include a number of locally-owned houses and apartments that are available to rent for each academic school year. Please refer to the Graduate School Handbook for a complete listing of available options.

Optional Meal PlansStudents often meet during lunch or after classes in the Student Union, which houses the Grille and the Jumping Bean. You can always pay in cash for individual meals at the Grille or Hodson Dining Commons (ask for the student rate), or you can opt to purchase a meal plan. A limited meal plan is included in residence life assistantships.

While graduate students are not required to select a meal plan, several are being made available for those who may be interested. Please refer to the Graduate School Handbook for a complete listing of meal plan options and costs, as well as the hours of operation for Hodson Dining Commons, the Grille, and the Jumping Bean. If you are interested in purchasing one of the listed meal plans, please contact the MAHE office, and it will be added to your student bill. If you would like to purchase one of the block plans, please contact Penny Milholland at 765.998.5296, or pnmilholland@taylor.edu.

Hodson Dining Commons (The D.C.)The main dining facility on-campus, Hodson Dining Commons offers a number of dining options, including two self-serve buffet lines, soup/salad bar, deli, All-American Fare station, and Mexican Cuisine hut. Meals purchased through one of the meal plan options can be redeemed at the DC, or you can pay in cash for individual meals (ask for the student rate).

6

The GrilleThe Grille operates according to a retail system, allowing students to pay for items as they purchase them.

If you prefer not to pay with cash or a credit/debit card, you can purchase one of the meal plans listed in the Graduate School Handbook (excluding the family block plans). You can also charge meals to your student account by presenting your student ID to the cashier. Regardless of which payment option you select, please stop by Vickie Rhodes’s office in the Student Union at the beginning of the school year to code and activate your ID card for Grille access.

Vickie Rhodes, Grille Manager Phone: 765.998.4678

**Special Note: Graduate Students/Faculty/Staff are exclusively served at the Grille from 11:45 am – 12:30

pm (Monday-Friday). You are welcome to eat lunch at any time between 10:50 am and 3:10 pm on those days, but the 11:45 – 12:30 pm block is specifically reserved for you. Undergraduate students will not be served during that time.

The Jumping BeanTaylor University’s on-campus coffee shop located in the Student Union, the Jumping Bean is a hot-spot for MAHE students. Whether getting some extra caffeine to finish a paper, or simply catching up with friends in a comfortable booth, Taylor students are quick to take advantage of the Jumping Bean’s signature drinks and laid-back atmosphere.

Drinks may be purchased with cash, or charged to your student account using your student ID. If you would like to charge drinks to your account, you will need to activate your ID card by bringing it to Vickie Rhodes’ office, located in the Student Union. If you purchase a meal plan, your card will automatically be activated for the Jumping Bean. You will need to pay off the charges to your student account each month at the Cashier’s Office in Freimuth Administration Building.

You can also use the debit feature on your ID card by placing funds specifically for the Jumping Bean into your account. If you would like to take advantage of this option, stop by Vickie Rhodes’ office or the Cashier’s Office. One additional payment option available to MAHE students is to open a tab at the Jumping Bean. With this option, you will be sent an invoice each month, which can then be paid off by writing the Jumping Bean a personal check.

Each full-time student receives an on- or off-campus assistantship. Students should refer to their assistantship supervisors for specific tasks, duties, and responsibilities.

What You MUST Do Before You Begin Your Assistantship: Before you can begin working on campus, you must visit the Office of Human Resources located in the Freimuth Administration Building, Room 146. There you must complete new hire paperwork, which consists of federal and state tax forms, a direct deposit form or debit card application, and the Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification) which is mandated by the Department of Homeland Security for all workers in the US. *** IT IS THE LAW THAT YOU MUST PRESENT ORIGINAL or CERTIFIED COPIES OF IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS ***

Please note the government allows us to accept:

One item from List ‘A’ (Documents that Establish Both Identity and Employment Authorization)

Examples: Passport, Permanent Resident Card, etc. (See Form I-9 list)

OR

One item from List ‘B’ (Documents that Establish Identity)

Examples: Driver’s License, Voter’s Registration Card, US Military ID, etc. (See Form I-9 list)

PLUS

One item from List ‘C’ (Documents that Establish Employment Authorization)Examples: Social Security card, Original or certified copy of US birth certificate, etc. (See Form I-9 list)

We cannot accept two items from one list, cannot accept your Taylor ID card, and we cannot make any exceptions. Many students come to campus without the original identification documents, so it is extremely important to bring the required items to the Office of Human Resources as soon as you start the hiring process on campus. By law you cannot work or be paid any wages prior to submitting the documentation.

The MAHE program strives to provide students with the tools and resources that will help them excel within the field of Student Development and Higher Education. Students are prepared for future careers through two supervised internship experiences, and MAHE faculty members serve as excellent networking resources within the Higher Education community. In conjunction with the internship courses, the Career Development Office sponsors an annual, specialized workshop for MAHE students focusing on such topics as the job search and writing resumes and curricula vitae (an extended version of a resume frequently used within the realm of higher education). For additional information concerning Career Development services offered to graduate students, please refer to the Graduate School Handbook.

Faithful participation is understood as a mature response to our community goals.

Spiritual Renewal SeriesA spiritual renewal series is held in both the fall and spring semesters. During the series, a guest speaker addresses the Taylor community in both morning and evening chapel settings. The purpose of the series is to give the entire Taylor community the opportunity to renew its focus on the Lordship of Jesus Christ over all aspects of life. MAHE students are encouraged to take advantage of these special renewal services throughout the designated weeks.

Sunday Night CommunityCommunity is an on-campus worship service that takes place on Sunday evenings at 8:00 pm. The style of the program often varies each week but usually consists of a testimony time from a Taylor faculty, staff member, or student. A detailed schedule is distributed with the Chapel schedule at the beginning of each semester ; or can be accessed via the Taylor University website.
