2008 Silent Auction

NACADA's First Silent Auction

NACADA will host its first-ever Silent Auction at the Annual Conference in Chicago. All proceeds from the auction will be used to fund graduate student scholarships for attending NACADA's region conferences. We hope this will be a great way for people to mingle, bid on some great gifts, and support our graduate students who are pursuing career goals in the field academic advising.

If you would like to volunteer to assist at the Silent Auction with set-up, security, and check-out while you're at the conference or if you have any questions, contact Bev Martin at bmartin@ksu.edu.
