Promising Practices Award 2012

Promising Practices in Student Affairs and Academic Affairs Collaboration

Sponsored by the Student Affairs Partnering With Academic Affairs (SAPAA) Knowledge Community (KC)

In the first Learning Reconsidered publication, it states: "Learning Reconsidered is an argument for the integrated use of all of higher education's resources in the education and preparation of the whole student. It is also an introduction to new ways of understanding and supporting learning and development as intertwined, inseparable elements of the student experience. It advocates for transformative education – a holistic process of learning that places the student at the center of the learning experience."

As Learning Reconsidered relates, we as higher education professionals are challenged to find ways to bridge between the academic and co-curricular aspects of a student's experience.

The SAPAA KC recognizes that there are many great examples of promising practices that exist in academia. In this spirit, we ask you to nominate programs and services that contribute to collaboration or integration of student and academic affairs in a college or university setting. Without question, we can all benefit from learning about successful educational endeavors in these collaborations from our colleagues.

Award recipient programs will be highlighted in the Awards booklet at the NASPA Annual Conference in March and listed on the SAPAA website.

The deadline for submissions is extended to January 15, 2012.
