Exciting opportunity for Grad Students
Colleagues,
I wanted to take a minute and share with you some of the initiatives the Southern Association of College Student Affairs (SACSA) is doing to help expand our services to our members. Our goal this year is to increase student and faculty involvement within the organization. We provide professional development opportunities through non-conference programming, academic journals, career service opportunities, and professional institutes. We also offer a new website that serves as a resource for current trends and issues, connects you to other professionals, and allows you to engage with whom you may not normally connect in the Southern United States.
We are improving our current services to serve our student members as well. Currently, we are offering graduate students a 1 year complimentary Regular membership ($50 value) after they graduate. All they need to do is register/renew their membership and we will take care of the rest.
One of the biggest benefits SACSA offers graduate students is our Career Services Center and its resume review service. Additionally, students can volunteer on committees and become involved with the conference in Louisville (our 65th), subsequently expanding their professional network. We recognize not everyone on this listserv is in the Southern United States, but we do offer an associate membership for those outside the 15 States and DC. Students do not need to belong to one of these states to become a member, and for those hoping to return to the South, this is an excellent organization to assist them with their job search and professional network.
If you have a minute, please visit our new site and review our Benefits page to learn more about what we have to offer students and faculty. If you could forward this email to your students as well, we would greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Matt Varga, Ph.D.
