2022 ACPA/ASHE Presidential symposium
Finding Our Way: Centering Joy, Care, and Community
Friday, 30 September 2022 | 12:00pm-4:00pm ET
Delivered Virtually & in Person at North Carolina State University
As leaders in higher education, we are challenged professionally and personally with supporting students, peers, and colleagues through “the great resignation,” targeted violence and killings of People of Color, and consistent dehumanization.
The 2022 ACPA-ASHE Presidential Symposium will provide attendees with an understanding of how joy is cultivated, why joy is an act of resistance and healing, and how joy can be fostered through communities of care.
In this space, our hope is to bring together graduate students, faculty members, student affairs staff members, and senior student affairs leaders to reimagine our work to center care and community.
