Spring 2014 Newsletter NASPA 2014 Annual Conference It’s our favorite time of the year - the Annual Conference! This year’s annual conference theme is “Lead. Innovate. Transform.” As stated on NASPA’s website, the event is a four-day gathering of student affairs professionals who come together to learn, grow, and be inspired. The conference joins the field of Student Affairs together, including graduate students, faculty, and professional staff of all levels, to share ideas, converse about current issues in higher education, and share best practices from their respective campuses. The annual conference is an excellent time to network and make new contacts as well as reconnect with old ones. Are you eager to learn more about serving students, make connections, or find a new way to educate your students? Whatever your motivation, the conference promises something valuable for everyone. See pg2 for the international programs being featured at the conference, or visit NASPA’s Conference website at http://conference2014.naspa.org for the full schedule.

Hope to see you there!

The 19th Annual International Symposium March 15-16, 2014 | Baltimore, MD, USA 3/15: 3/16:

4PM - 7PM 9AM - 4PM

The NASPA International Symposium has served as a marquee event held prior to the NASPA annual conference for the last 19 years and is designed to foster professional collaboration and exchange in the field of student affairs among international practitioners. The Symposium is an excellent opportunity for university administrators from around the world to enhance their knowledge and skills and develop new global networks. As the field of student affairs continues to develop globally, focused opportunities for an intentional, international exchange of ideas are becoming more critical. The NASPA International Symposium facilitates the advancement of a global discussion and worldwide understanding of student affairs as a field, and, in many countries, a profession. The Symposium also expands on the conference theme by including global perspectives. A key Symposium goal is to invite and explore and new perspectives, and to create new networks and connections in order to bridge global boundaries. The Symposium is a dynamic program featuring prominent speakers, panels of distinguished professionals from around the world, and interactive roundtables. Participants are invited to consider global perspectives when discussing timely topics such as: preparing students for meaningful and productive lives; the emergence of student affairs in institutions around the globe; the integration of global themes in student affairs work; educational access and retention practices; and the development of global competencies in students. Learning Outcomes By participating in the International Symposium, university administrators from around the world will:  Engage in dialogue regarding both similarities and differences in student affairs practices around the world;  Develop their global networks in order to continue internationalizing the field; and  Identify ways to incorporate global understanding into their day-to-day work with students.
