There is little more rewarding than presenting at a Annual NACADA conference. Not only do I benefit from the research and work of putting together the presentation, but I also enjoy the experience of passing that information along and learn tremendous amounts from the conference participants who attend my session. It's a great feeling to know that the work that you do is appreciated and the information that you present is valued and valuable. I highly recommend presenting to everyone that I meet - present alone, present on a panel, - just get out there and share your ideas!
Susan M. Kolls Northeastern University

Presenting at the Annual Conference has allowed me to share my knowledge and research with others but more importantly has given me the opportunity to learn from a wide range of individuals. First year advisors, advising administrators, experienced advisors, and faculty advisors all have something to share and bringing them together at individual sessions has allowed me to expand on my ability to serve students and “borrow” from others. The bottom line is that advising is a very challenging and rewarding profession and one that is always a work in progress.

I began presenting at NACADA conferences because I love learning from other presenters. I realized that others might be excited to hear about some of the new things we have been trying on our campus as well. It has been very rewarding to have peers in my profession express their appreciation for giving them new tools/ideas to take back to their campus. A major component of advising is sharing knowledge... whether it's with our students or with each other!"

NACADA HOTEL RESERVATION INFORMATION


Booking your hotel through NACADA keeps costs down

When you reserve your hotel room, we ask that you stay in one of the NACADA designated hotels and reserve it through the official Housing Bureau. Staying at a conference hotel and using the Housing Bureau reduces meeting expenses by strengthening NACADA's "buying power" when negotiating with hotels for future rates. If NACADA does not meet its room guarantee at each hotel, penalties arecharged, which in turn raises registration fees for upcoming meetings. Please support NACADA and reserve your hotel room through the Housing Bureau. Thank you for your cooperation and support.



HOTEL RESERVATIONS, can be made by calling the hotel directly after September 16th. You will need to call to see if the hotel has the nights open you are wishing to reserve.
