Host a 2017 BACCHUS Spring Conference on Your Campus

July 5, 2016

Sure, there are lots of ways individuals can volunteer with NASPA, but how about volunteering your campus as a BACCHUS Initiatives Regional Conference site? Hosting a conference can provide tremendous exposure and relationship building for your campus. Some of our peer educators may want to attend graduate school or host other events on your campus. Plus, it's a way to better interact with your region and students that are a part of it.

BACCHUS Regional Spring Conferences

Each spring our regions host a spring peer education conference. Each of the conferences offers breakout sessions, featured and keynote speakers, award presentations, student leader elections, and an opportunity to network and recognize outstanding students, advisors and programs on the regional level. Conferences range from one-day drive-ins to three-day conferences. The purpose of the BACCHUS Regional Spring Conferences are to further peer education as a methodology to address campus health and safety issues by providing opportunities for peer educators and peer education group advisors to network, share information, and learn effective strategies.

The BACCHUS Initiatives of NASPA supports collegiate peer educators and advisors by empowering students and student affairs professionals to create campus environments that are healthy and safe.

Host Institution Requirements

In order to host a BACCHUS Regional Spring Conference, your institution must commit to provide the following services:

  • Campus staff to work as the Onsite Coordinator with the BACCHUS Regional Team (BACCHUS Regional Consultant, State Coordinators, and Student Advisory Committee (SAC) member) to plan the conference and assist onsite
  • Meeting space, audio and visual needs, and internet
  • Work with campus and/or local housing options to provide affordable housing for conference participants
  • Work with campus and/or local dining establishment to provide affordable meals for conference participants. Whenever possible, meals will be included in the registration fee.
  • Coordination of institute logistics (i.e., rooms, AV, directions, signs, etc.)
  • Coordination of onsite registration (i.e., check-in, name tags, etc.)
  • Identification of affordable ground transportation to and from local airports and hotels
  • Use of computer, copier, and printer during the conference

The registration fees of the regional conferences are to cover all costs of the conference. To keep registration fees low, institutions that can provide space and audio and visual at little to no costs, or are willing to contribute institutional funds, will be given priority. Likewise, reasonable food options for meals are greatly appreciated. Host institutions will be reimbursed for expenses after the conference upon submission of invoices and reimbursement requests.

The host campus onsite coordinator will work with the BACCHUS Regional Coordinator and applicable state coordinators to plan and implement the conference. Whenever possible, one or more NASPA staff members will attend the conference.

The application for campuses to host the BACCHUS regional spring conferences is available here. Applications are due September 15.
