STEVENSON UNIVERSITY

During my early teen years I discovered I had a voice that people listened to. I’m not sure if it was because of the pain in my voice due to my troubling childhood or the fact that I was passionate about living, not letting my daunting circumstances determine the outcome of my life. My friends looked up to me and I knew I had a responsibility to lead by example rather than through my words. During my sophomore year of high school I became very passionate about the childcare field. At the time I had no clue that I would one day want to own my own daycare center. As I aged, I realized that the early stages in our lives are some of the most crucial. Those early years impact our social, emotional, and educational ability. I did not know much about love or affection but I knew what it was like to not have those things. I knew that if I could somehow create an environment where children felt loved, nurtured, cared about and combined that with an educational component, somehow I could shape our leaders of tomorrow. 
In my free time I’m very vocal about change in my community. I would go to my high school and speak to 9th, 10th, and 11th grade classes about embracing their circumstances and applying that same pain I once felt in order to change themselves and want a better life. I talk about how I once sat in the chairs they’re setting in. I go to Pop Warner summer camps program, showing that athletics and scholastics go hand and hand, and talk to the kids about not just having a plan A but a backup plan. I preach that education is of the most importance and that college is the standard.
I don’t get paid for it and I’m not nationally known, but that’s not important to me. Seeing a change in my culture, society and city is all the compensation I need. My daycare will be my foundation for strengthening school age children and adolescences by shaping the way of their thinking. While I understand that I won’t reach everyone, but if I can change one person and save one life I would be completely satisfied. My goal is to encourage people and boost the desires for success from within.

I was an employee at Stevenson University for almost three years.  I was brought in to develop and build a department and staff.  During my time there I was never granted a yearly budget to operate the day to day and yearly expenses of my department.  I was never put in a position to implement my vision to the run my department.  My management staff did not have a system of accountability or culpability and showed glaring conflicts of interests and cliques.  Upon my leaving the university was in its third straight year of salary and budget freezes.  Ultimately I knew I would get no support by my administrative staff to grow my department and that there was also no opportunities there to advance my placement within the university.

Working under Stevenson University was a overall fun experience. It was the kind of atmosphere I enjoy everyday. I got to help out the sports programs everyday whether it was building new lockers or cutting the grass fields. I learned many skills from communication skills, fixing equipment, and lifting heavy objects. My co-workers were very helpful and really knew how to work with a group because they were either fellow teammates or played on another sports team. The hardest part was moving furniture for weeks at a time. This is definitely a good summer job that keeps you in shape and puts money in your bank account.

SU used to be an amazing place to work but over the past few years, it has become soul-sucking.  The Administration is looking to keep the university afloat because of COVID and poor decisions about raising tuition yearly in the past and are investing in making the campus state of the art and paying their faculty very little.  They care more about the student experience than the well-being of the faculty and will let you know straight up that you can be replaced in no time so just shut up and do whatever they want.  If you are just looking for a paycheck then it's fine but if you care about your students and their education - don't work here.

I have been an adjunct at multiple institutions the past eight years, this was easily the worst--and all due to the individual in charge of humanities adjuncts. Detached and robotic, going completely by the book with no regard for humanity. Do not be open or authentic, he will simply use it as an opportunity to sniff out reasons to be cast aside. Other department heads were normal human beings you could talk with and not simply be analyzed as a commodity. You also will be required to complete a lot of paperwork and engage in laborious discussions over how to respond to AI (reminiscent of the Ent council in Lord of the Rings). If you're C-3PO, it is perfect for you.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great place to work.  Students and faculty are excellent.  The campuses are fantastic with new construction underway

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Meeting deadlines for faculty.  Faculty are required to submit different types of information within certain deadlines and sometimes it gets a little stressful.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Absolutely wonderful.  Campuses are outstanding with new contruction underway to expand them even more.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Teaching, grading papers, meeting with students, tutoring when necessary.

Typically, I spent time at clinical rotations in hospitals and schools in Baltimore city and the surrounding county, attending nursing classes at the University, or at work as a Student Nurse Tech at the VA Hospital.  I learned what it means to be able to provide nursing care for others.  Stevenson management is fine.  My co-workers, aka my fellow nursing students, became my closest friends during our difficulties endured in nursing school.  Exams were the hardest part.  The most enjoyable part of nursing school was caring for patients  together with my fellow nursing students.

Stevenson University offers a staff of profession and student employees who work together to bring the community the best educational experience that they can. A typical work day allowed for me to interact not only with families visiting the school and potential students, but with members of the various departments on campus. This gave me great interpersonal communication skills. I was also able to strengthen my multitasking skills and time management skills, from having to meet deadlines for paperwork and on tours with families, to running errands and completing various tasks around the admissions office.

The university is the definition of vanilla. Leadership is uncaring, unwilling to think outside the box, self centered, and obviously took Management 101 because they must all read those books every night to tell them how to manage people. It’s comical how little supervision cares about their employees. Huge exodus here and they don’t care to ask why this is happening. Big problems here. Competent and good employees leaving everyday and not replaced. Definitely don’t recommend working here. 

Stevenson is a revolving door. The top reasons that so many people leave are because they are forced to work 50-60 hours a week, paid much lower than area universities and the environment is not welcoming to people of color. There are many employees who have been there 20+ years and are stuck in their ways, unable to see a different perspective outside of their own. Many students of color report microagressions from faculty, and a lack of support. For your own sanity, look elsewhere unless you don’t mind working your life away for a small salary and very little gratitude.
