Careers in Student Affairs Month

This year, the theme for #CSAM21 is Transitions and Transformations. As campuses reopen, how are our campuses communities adjusting to a world changed by the COVID-19 pandemic? How have the transitions throughout the pandemic affected student life, engagement, and the field? What has changed about the way we respond to student needs? Faculty and staff should be considering now more than ever, the impact that COVID-19 has had upon marginalized communities, the disparities in access to care and how this has impacted students and their development. The student affairs community must not only recognize the transition we are experiencing, but acknowledge how we have all been impacted by the pandemic. As we transition back to campus life, campuses must develop and encourage practices of care to create and maintain balance in a post-pandemic community. As the field continues to shift and evolve in a post-pandemic world, how are students, faculty, and staff being supported amid concerns of burnout and anxiety?

During Careers in Student Affairs Month, NASPA and NASPA Constituent Groups sponsor educational sessions for students and professionals of all levels. Unless noted otherwise, 2021 NASPA Careers in Student Affairs Month webinars are free for members and non-members.
