I’ve been a member of ACPA since 1998. Since that time I’ve changed positions, functional areas, and institutions. ACPA has kept up with me every step of the way. Through membership I have access to relevant and timely professional development opportunities, both during and beyond Convention. I’ve had the chance to collaborate and lead alongside colleagues from across the U.S. and around the world. And I’ve had access to rigorous scholarship, best practices, and new ideas through the Journal of College Student Development and About Campus.
On a more personal level I’ve met great people who have become mentors and lifelong friends. Nearly twenty years after my first ACPA Convention, it’s hard to imagine what my professional journey would have been like without the opportunities I’ve found here. As I complete a Ph.D. and prepare for the next chapter, I’m confident that ACPA will continue to be an essential resource for me.
