Region I Knowledge Communities

NASPA Knowledge Communities provide an opportunity for NASPA members to access information and resources in a specfic subject matter that pertains to the student affairs profession and come together through common interest in way s that support the NASPA mission, vision, and goals.   Knowledge Communities create and share knowledge through the delivery of eductaional reserach, programs, and products; through the use of technology; and by way of face-to-face meetings, workshops, and/or conferences.  Knowledge Communities provide an entry point to the association for graduate students and new professionals, and offer a structured organization for new and coninuing members to confirm their commitment to and passion for the profession through their common interests.

Knowledge Communities build credibility through activity, consistency, and the quality of knowledge generated.  It is important to note that the concept of Knowledge Communities is more than information and dissemination thereof: Knowledge Communities are about gathering and generating information in a specific interest area; discussing the information; looking for examples of practicing the information; and critiquing, evaluating, and making some judgment about the worthiness of findings before disseminating findings as knowledge.

Participation in Knowledge Communities is open to any NASPA member.  Find out about any of the 22 NASPA Knowledge Communities through the NASPA KC home page or through the NASPA Region I home page.
