#SAPaths: Student Affairs Career Pathways Podcasts
Have you ever considered a career in Higher Education or Student Affairs? Do you have thoughts on what else might be out there than what you have experienced at your institution? The #SAPaths Podcast Series was created specifically for you!
Join NASPA for a series of targeted podcasts for graduate students, undergraduate members, and other individuals who are considering a job search. There are a number of additional opportunities for working in the field of Higher Education that are not “traditional” 4 year, residential settings.
Institution types that will be addressed during the #SAPaths Series are:
- Community Colleges
- Small Colleges and Universities
- Minority Serving Instititions (MSIs)
- Nonprofit/NGOs
- International Work
- Online environments
In addition to the on-demand podcasts, we want you to be able to interact with our panelists. After our podcasts, tweet your quesitons using the hashtag #SAPaths, and we'll address it during a live Question and Answer Hour. More information will be developed in the coming months, but please see the first in the series below:
