Hear About This Division/Group
|
The Small Colleges and Universities Division provides leadership in higher education to promote understanding of small college and university missions, challenges, and opportunities. The Division ensures that NASPA's programmatic and policy directions appropriately respond to small institutions – defined as those enrolling less than 5,000 students – and their unique needs.
Welcome to NASPA’s Small Colleges and Universities Division! The SCU Division is dedicated to advocacy, professional development, support and information-sharing for colleagues in institutions who strengths lie in being small in size, but large in impact. The Advisory Board is eager to be responsive to your needs and input and provide resources that are relevant, timely and resonant with the unique characteristics, as well as challenges, of our types of institutions. We stand ready to listen, discuss, engage in dialog and offer value to you as a professional in the many and diverse ways that we are called upon to serve our students. We have a special responsibility as educators and we can enrich each other by candid communication, asking questions of each other and sharing best practices---hopefully SCU can be that resource for you!
The new Bearcat Pantry now demonstrates the answer to the need. To really get an actual running pantry with consistent donations, funds, hours of operation, and a safe location, it took the action and commitment of multiple offices and departments to do so. The Bearcat Pantry has been the most supported, sustained and collaborative community project on Willamette’s campus in the history of the CSL office.

As President Trump prepares to deliver his first State of the Union address on Tuesday, January 30, 2018 we are excited to partner with AASCU’s American Democracy Project to engage students in a non-partisan discussion regarding the state of our democracy.
The 2018 Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement Meeting (CLDE18), being held June 6-9, 2018 at the Hyatt Regency Orange County, in Anaheim, California, offers an opportunity for student affairs professionals, faculty, community partners, and students, to participate in discourse around the fundamentals of democracy and gain inspiration from our featured speakers to take back to your campus community. #CLDE18 will rejuvenate your passion for activating your students to be the change they want to see in the world.
