Faculty Fellows

The NASPA Faculty Fellows group was established in 2002 to provide consultation and contributions to NASPA in the following areas:

• Direct policy input on such issues as quality assurance in student affairs, diversity, and graduate preparation;
• Promote scholarship as part of the professional responsibility for all faculty and practitioners; and
• Provide direction concerning NASPA research priorities and initiatives.

The Faculty Fellows group is comprised of 12 faculty members, each appointed to a 3-year term. Terms are staggered, with only four faculty members being appointed each year. Of the four members appointed each year, one is a full professor, two are associate professors, and one is an affiliate/adjunct faculty member. Members may be appointed to an additional 3-year term upon the recommendation of the Faculty Fellows.

Since this group was established the executive director of NASPA has stated that the Faculty Fellows will be the "voice" of faculty within NASPA, and issues of concern to faculty should be directed to the Fellows. The Faculty Fellows are distinct from other groups, such as knowledge communities. The Faculty Fellows have taken the initiative to try to assure that the annual conference is meaningful for faculty and will be undertaking other measures to assure that faculty have a professional home within NASPA.
