NASPA is more than simply a group of students and professionals working in student affairs. It is 15,000 individuals and 2,100 institutions who together create a powerful network where you’ll find the resources and support you need in your role in student affairs. They share your dedication to the field, as well as the opportunities and challenges you face. NASPA membership gives you access to programs, events, and publications designed to support your personal development. It’s the tools and support you need to grow, and the connections to support you along the way.
“The organization’s evolution has had a good parallel to my professional development. Their national conference, professional development seminars, and regional work have been quite helpful. In particular NASPA’s willingness to find ways to best serve small college and universities like mine has been wonderful.”
