In their December 2006 meeting, the NASPA Board of Directors approved the re-establishment of the Technology Knowledge Community. As noted in the proposal to re-establish the KC, "Technology is ubiquitous in higher education and in the student affairs profession. The speed at which technology advances has created gaps in the knowledge base and experiences of the 'digital immigrants' who are trying to serve today’s 'digital natives' (Prensky, 2001)."

Information Technology poses challenges and creates opportunities for student affairs administrators and researchers. With this Knowledge Community, we hope to "provide structure for members to explore and collaborate on this topic." Exactly how we do that is up to you!

Feel free to:

Interest in re-establishing the KC was spearheaded by Leslie Dare of North Carolina State University with her Student Affairs On-Line article "Technology in Student Affairs: Seeking Knowledge, Craving Community." Following publication of that article, several NASPA members joined with Leslie to formally propose the KC be re-established. We welcome you to join us we continue to define what this KC can and should do for us!
