NASPA Multicultural Institute

The NASPA Multicultural Institute (NMI) will take place in December 2013. The NMI occurs ever other year so be sure to visit this webpage for news on the next NMI's location and dates! We invite you to view the program book from the 2011 NMI as well as the overview of the schedule below.

Institute Description

The Professional Competency Areas for Student Affairs Practitioners approved by NASPA specify that knowledge and skills related to equity, diversity, and inclusion are an expectation of all practitioners regardless of their area of specialization or positional role within the field. The NASPA Multicultural Institute is intentionally designed for student affairs practitioners and administrators to further develop their own knowledge and skills as effective multicultural educators.

The NASPA Multicultural Institute will provide an interactive forum combining thought-provoking keynote speakers, challenging educational sessions, and opportunities for resource and idea sharing between multicultural educators across the academy including academic affairs. Institute participants will engage in a multitude of topics related to multiculturalism, intercultural competency, cross-culturalism and social justice by focusing on race and ethnicity; sexual orientation; sex, gender, and gender identity; ability, nationality; religion and spirituality; and socioeconomic class.

Audience

• Student and academic affairs educators at every level, including senior student affairs officers
  
• Multicultural services professionals, including director and associate/assistant directors in multicultural services
  
• Undergraduate and graduate faculty
  
• Graduate students
