The Future of Higher Education T-shirt Fundraiser

The Graduate Students and New Professionals Community of Practice has supported the needs of those new to the field of Higher Education and Student Affairs for over 35 years! Our service has included various mentorship programs, ongoing sponsored programs, professional development opportunities in the form of webinars, and working to break down financial barriers of those we serve. Graduate students and new professionals are in a unique position to need a wide variety of professional development and support in order to learn and jumpstart their career but often bring in stipends and salaries that are below the cost of living. Adding in the common need to move for academic programs or entry-level positions, and the financial need becomes more critical. Our Community of Practice strives to offer scholarships for opportunities hosted by ACPA to aid in the growth and retention of our new colleagues. By contributing to our Foundation Campaign, you are directly supporting graduate students and new professionals by providing scholarships for attending ACPA’s Annual Convention, obtaining an ACPA membership, attending webinars throughout the year, and attending the Emerging Leaders Institute. Your support is greatly appreciated and valued to help our graduate students and new professionals “grow as they go”!
