Remember that moment when you realized “yes, I do want to work in student affairs!”
For many of us it happened while we were in college at a time when we were setting up for an event, sitting in our RD’s office, planning a special Mass in campus ministry, or learning more about admissions and academic services. For a few of us, it happened while we were at a conference with other college students. That’s me! I realized that higher education was the place for me while attending the Next Generation Conference in Nashville, TN in 2005. What a great opportunity! This is a chance to meet people who share passion in working with college students and to connect with experience professionals in student affairs.
Now it’s time for us to share this passion with our students. The ACPA Convention is in Baltimore this year, which means NextGen is close to all of us! Consider sending some of your student leaders to this amazing conference. I guarantee they will have a great time, meet some wonderful professionals and come away with a strong desire to serve other students.
Early Bird Registration ends March 7th, so please take some time over the next 2 weeks to consider sharing this opportunity with your students. For more information, visit us online at http://convention.myacpa.org/program/next-generation.php
