Undergraduate Student Pre-Conference (1)
Pre-Conference Description:
In this highly interactive two-day pre-conference, undergraduates will have an opportunity to learn more about student affairs as a possible career choice. This experiential learning opportunity gives participants an understanding of student affairs work and national associations and helps hone the tools and resources necessary for a successful career in the field. Bringing together current NUFP fellows and other undergraduate students interested in a career in student afffairs, NUFP alumni, NUFP board members, and accomplished professionals in the field will program around the following areas: a brief overview of student affairs, the rewards of working on a college campus, ways to get relevant student affairs experience as an undergraduate, and graduate school as a pathway to the profession, among other things. Participants will also have a chance to network with faculty, graduate students, and student affairs professionals from colleges and universities across the country. Please note this is a two day pre-conference.
