"Advancing Student Affairs, Engaging Students" is central to being a student affairs professional and an engaged member of ACPA. As you progress in your career, it is imperative to keep abreast of current issues, trends, and research in this field. We have four events this June to help you accomplish your professional goals and network with colleagues in the field.
Dr. Cindi Love opens her tenure as the new Executive Director of ACPA with a challenge to ACPA members to not sit on the back row during the intense debates in higher education. She paints a vision of ACPA members participating in and leading the intentional institutional efforts that create the kind of tensions that catalyze culture-bending and mind-bending changes in campus life as higher education is subjected to the extreme heat of external regulation, decreased funding and new demands for persistence and completion, accessibility, accountability and affordability.
Kathleen G. Kerr, ACPA - College Student Educators International President 2013-2014 discusses the impact of volunteer leadership within ACPA in the context of her other roles as a professional leader on her campus and as a partner and mother of four girls. Inspiration for us all!
Dr. Kent Porterfield, President of ACPA - College Student Educators International 2014-15, begins his term of office at the ACPA 2014 Indianapolis Convention. Hear his vision for ACPA and get a glimpse of the depth and breadth of the reinvented gathering for ACPA members and friends. Brené Brown and others made a space for us that was like a room without a roof! No boundaries, total passion and enthusiasm for our collective work in the student affairs movement.
