NASPA is Perfect for Small Colleges & Universities
By Abby Ghering, Assistant Dean/Associate Director of Academic Support & Enrichment at Denison University
Student Affairs Working in and with Academic Affairs (SAPAA) Knowledge Community Region IV-East Representative
As the Assistant Dean/Associate Director of Academic Support & Enrichment at Denison University, I have been very pleased with the professional development opportunities that NASPA has afforded me. Denison University is a private, four-year, 100% residential liberal arts institution in central Ohio. Being a student affairs professional at a small school, I – like most of my colleagues – wear many hats. It is comforting to know that many other NASPA members are working at schools similar to Denison in size.
When I have a question about training peer tutors; motivating students on academic probation; or providing our relatively small Division of Student Affairs with effective professional development opportunities, I can always find ideas through NASPA. Especially within Region IV-East, there is great potential for information sharing and collaboration. If you are working at a small college/university and you have not yet taken advantage of all that NASPA has to offer, I encourage you to do so.
One of the best ways to get involved is through a Knowledge Community (KC). I am the regional representative for the Student Affairs Professionals working in and with Academic Affairs (SAPAA) KC; my involvement with the KC has led to innovative ideas for my campus as well as the chance to network with other professionals who are also bridging the gap between academic affairs and student affairs. I hope to see you at the next regional conference!
