About

Student Life Cafe is run by Jon Sampson, a residence director and program coordinator at a university in the Los Angeles area. He’s also worked as editor of a newspaper and communications director for a nonprofit and led community building and development efforts for two churches.

Exciting bio aside, my hope is that this is a place where student life professionals can connect to share ideas about how to grow and thrive in this exciting, always changing field.

The best leaders ask questions. And now, we can learn from people across the nation, not just across the campus.

From event ideas to best practices, there is a lot we can learn from each other. This can hopefully become a spot for dialogue and sharing where we can challenge and support one another.
