Abstract

Every administrator, faculty and staff member at a higher education institution must recognize the important part they play in impacting a student’s ability to flourish on campus and beyond. Implementing appreciative education (AE) in areas across an institution, such as on-campus student employment programs, is one way to guarantee that lasting effect can be harnessed and benefited by all involved. Through the use of two professional narrative lenses, this article reveals multiple applications of AE that supervisors could use to be better equipped to build a flourishing workplace for their student employees.
