Approximately 30% of ACPA members currently identify as entry-level professionals with 1-3 years of experience in student affairs work. ACPA created the Phyllis L. Mable Emerging Leaders Institute (previously the New Professionals Institute) to support the development of emerging leaders as they collectively serve thousands of students on a daily basis. This Institute includes several mentoring opportunities and one-on-one interactions with several of today’s leaders in higher education and student affairs as resident faculty and small group facilitators.

The 2021 ACPA-ASHE Presidential Symposium will bring together higher education practitioners and scholars to reimagine, influence, and lead in what is new, what is happening now, and what comes next.

In this mid-Fall symposium, ACPA President Danielle Morgan Acosta and ASHE President D-L Stewart will continue the Presidential Symposium tradition of engaging, meaningful, and cross-functional conversation about key issues in higher education in this “moment.”

Panelists are higher education scholars and practitioners who are committed in their work to justice and liberation, and also to the ideas and principles of trauma-informed care: Safety, choice, collaboration, trust, and empowerment.
