The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how supervisors at a four-year, public, Hispanic-serving institution in Southern California described their process for socializing new Student Affairs professionals. Data from interviews and documents were analyzed to describe how supervisors initiated opportunities for relationship development with campus constituents; communicated expectations and provided feedback; and helped new professionals understand that their work contributes to fulfilling institutional goals and is valued. Eight supervisors representing different Student Affairs functional areas participated in the study. The findings of the study concluded that socialization processes were: intentionally designed and occur over an extended period of time; centered on informal and formal communication strategies; grounded in opportunities to develop relationships with campus constituents; and informed by processes that allow employees to observe behaviors and role play different scenarios to understand their new responsibilities and environment.
