Program Proposals
The NASPA-Alabama Conference Committee invites you to join us Friday, January 29, 2021 to reflect on our collective and individual goals, passions, and purposes of NASPA and student affairs. Our conference theme is Together Towards Tomorrow:Re-Envisioning Student Affairs.
We encourage presenters to focus on the four pillars of NASPA - Inquiry, Inclusion, Integrity, and Innovation. The values of our organization reflect the spirit, purpose, and curiosity of its members. As student affairs professionals and NASPA members, we strive to offer leadership, scholarship, and professional development to student affairs. In honoring our mission, proposals may address what the mission of NASPA means to them and how their program embodies the organization's guiding principles.
Proposals will be evaluated based on content; relevance to current issues, and the Professional Competency Areas for Student Affairs Practitioners; evidence of clearly stated outcomes and objectives; contribution to the knowledge and practice of student affairs; and adherence to program submission guidelines.
Proposal Deadline: November 30, 2020
Questions regarding the proposal process, please contact Jerran Hill, Conference Chair – jshill4@ua.edu
