As a graduate student, I was passionate about the field and full of energy. During one of my graduate courses, I heard an announcement that the Michigan College Personnel Association (MCPA) was looking for volunteers for the Annual Conference. After volunteering, I was encouraged to join the leadership team. I learned so much during my terms as Secretary, Annual Conference Chair, and as President of the association. I grew up in MCPA!
During my last year of graduate school, I was the recipient of the ACPA Pan African Network (PAN) Outstanding Graduate Student of the Year award. I have been actively involved in PAN since 2010. I currently serve as the Foundation Mentoring Co-Chair of the PAN directorate board. During my time in ACPA, I have attained mentors, participated in professional development, and learned the essence of work life balance. ACPA is an amazing professional association, and I credit my professional success to my many years of involvement with state divisions and the Pan African Network! I would not be half of the professional that I am today if it weren’t for ACPA. Expect a great return on your investment as a member.
