"Gateway to the Profession and Connection to the Association"
NASPA Knowledge Communities provide an opportunity for NASPA members to access information and resources in a specific subject matter that pertains to the student affairs profession and come together through common interests in ways that support the NASPA mission, vision, and goals. Knowledge Communities create and share knowledge through the delivery of educational research, programs, and products; through the use of technology; and by way of face-to-face meetings, workshops, and/or conferences. Knowledge Communities provide an entry point to the association for graduate students and new professionals, and offer a structured organization for new and continuing members to confirm their commitment to and passion for the profession through their common interests.
Knowledge Communities build credibility through activity, consistency, and the quality of knowledge generated. It is important to note that the concept of Knowledge Communities is more than information and dissemination thereof: Knowledge Communities are about gathering and generating information in a specific interest area; discussing the information; looking for examples of practicing the information; and critiquing, evaluating, and making some judgment about the worthiness of findings before disseminating findings as knowledge.
Participation in Knowledge Communities is open to any NASPA member. Find out about any of the 22 NASPA Knowledge Communities by following the links in the left-hand navigation.
