AVP Steering Committee |
Hear About This Division/Group
|
In November, 2012, NASPA established the AVP Steering Committee to partner with NASPA staff to shape the ongoing development of NASPA’s AVP initiatives. The Steering Committee works to ensure that AVP-relevant programs are offered during regional and national events.
The role of the AVP in Student Affairs is complex and ever-changing. With a diverse set of challenges that confront AVPs on daily basis, the AVP Steering Committee seeks to offer an array of engagement and development opportunities. As such, we offer conference workshops, roundtable discussions, socials, and blog posts. We welcome the input of AVPs everywhere to these efforts. If you have an idea or want to get involved, please let us know.

This blog explores the journey of an AVP, who has not only discovered the importance of health and wellness, but who has also determined strategies that he personally has implemented into his daily routine.

Hi, my name is Cynthia and I am an assessment nerd. I love using data to help improve our operations in the Division in an effort to best serve students. Over the past 20 years, I have participated in a variety of comprehensive program review processes. I have been a participant in interviews giving feedback on the department being reviewed, coordinated processes for my own departments, an served as the invited chair of external review teams for reviews at other universities. I can honestly say that I enjoy the comprehensive review process.
