   Bringing NACADA Home

If you attended a recent NACADA conference and found an innovative way to share what you learned with campus colleagues, help others bring NACADA Near You! For example, several academic advising co-workers from one university recently attended their NACADA Region Conference, then returned to their campus and provided a half-day recap of information and ideas for their colleagues who couldn't participate in the conference. Let us know how you shared the wealth after an event, or perhaps how you plan to make your attendance at the 2009 Annual Conference an investment in professional development for your entire department. E-mail the details to us at nacada@ksu.edu, and well share your experience with others. Thanks for your creativity in bringing NACADA Near You!

Reminder image

Membership renewal notices will be emailed in July to those having a membership expiration date of September 1, 2009. For those of you planning to attend the 2009 Annual Conference in San Antonio, you may renew at the time you register for the conference if you wish. Thank you for your continued support of NACADA!

The Highlights is a monthly summary of NACADA news and events designed to inform members via one consolidated webpage.
