Through this Summer Institute\, educators with expertise in policies and practices vital to Native student success develop through our training sessions. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				AN INTENSIVE EXPERIENCE\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Summer Institute attendance is purposely limited to provide participants with an intensive experience that focuses equally on knowledge and skill building\, information sharing\, and the opportunity to draw upon the accumulated wisdom and experiences of the presenters as well as colleagues.  \nIn an atmosphere of collaboration\, friendship\, and fun\, the Summer Institute offers opportunities for spiritual renewal and personal empowerment.  The Elder-In-Residence fulfills an important role within the Summer Institute. The Elder will begin and end each day with a prayer and reflection.  The Elder-In-Residence will offer valuable context in which to consider our shared experiences throughout the Summer Institute. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				Learn more about Ninlhe\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				WHO SHOULD ATTEND?\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Native and non-Native administrators\, professional staff\, and faculty committed to supporting and increasing recruitment\, retention and graduation of American Indian\, Alaska Native\, Native Hawaiian and Aboriginal students at public\, private\, and tribal colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Keynote Speaker: Robert Maxim\n				Robert Maxim (Mashpee Wampanoag) leads Brookings Metro’s work on Tribal economies\, including research focused on an array of different research and policy issues in Indian \nCountry. He has written about the impact of federal investments and federal funding cuts on Tribal communities; the need to reform federal funding for Tribal nations; Native workers; the ability to access to remote work; the role of Native American community development financial institutions in Tribal economic development; the exclusion of Native Americans from economic data; and how state and regional policy can improve data about Tribal nations\, citizens\, and communities.  \nMaxim has also researched and written on Native American education\, including policy responses to remedy the lingering impacts of federal Indian boarding schools on Tribal communities\, ideas for improving federal higher education data about Native American students\, and policy proposals to support Native students and Native American-serving higher educational institutions. His work on identity in Indian Country has explored how federal data misrepresents Native American identity.  \nWithin Brookings\, he has led efforts to resurface the Institution’s historic engagement in Tribal communities\, including the Meriam Report\, and to engage with Native-led organizations on enabling future research centering Native American people. Maxim’s research and commentary on Native communities has appeared in numerous national\, regional\, and Native-led media outlets\, including the New York Times\, Washington Post\, National Public Radio\, Marketplace\, Time\, Federal News Network\, Indian Country Today\, Native News Online\, Native America Calling\, and others.  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Elder-in-Residence: Joy Grant-Bullethead\n				Screenshot  \nJoy (Ute) serves as the Elder-in-Residence for the University of Utah Center for Native Excellence and Tribal Education\, which is a partner for the 2026 NINLHE Summer Institute.

If your work centers on measurement strategy\, data analysis\, and translating findings into action\, this track will sharpen your edge. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Department and Divisional Leader Track\nThe act of assessment is more than measurement – it requires leaders to take an active role. Therefore\, these sessions will focus on leading the assessment process from a big-picture perspective for department and divisional leaders. Specifically\, this track will advance knowledge\, confidence\, and skills related to: (a) strategic planning\, (b) identifying opportunities for data-collection collaboration\, (c) data-informed reflection and decision-making\, and (d) storytelling. This track will focus on assessment as a leadership process for quality improvement efforts and impact storytelling. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Who Should Choose This Track?\n				Assessment does not happen without leaders who understand its value and actively create the conditions for it to thrive. This track is for seasoned assessment department directors\, AVPs\, chiefs of staff\, and VPSAs who shape strategy\, culture\, and decision-making at the department or division level. If your role is less about running assessments and more about building the environment in which good assessment can flourish\, this track was designed with you in mind. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				PLENARY SERIES: STRATEGIC PLANNING IN STUDENT AFFAIRS\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				This year\, SAAI is reimagining the traditional keynote experience with a connected three-part plenary series focused on strategic planning in student affairs. \nDesigned for professionals across all roles and experience levels\, the series explores strategic planning not simply as a document\, but as a living process that shapes culture\, priorities\, decision-making\, and organizational practice. \nSession One: Designing the Process\nExplore strategic planning as a social compact and examine how participation\, trust\, stakeholder engagement\, and process design shape buy-in long before a plan is finalized. \nSession Two: Imagining the Future\nEngage with innovative and future-focused approaches to planning\, including visioning\, human-centered design\, collaborative ideation\, and future thinking. \nSession Three: Living the Plan\nFocus on implementation\, alignment\, and change management\, exploring how organizations connect strategic priorities to the everyday work of staff\, departments\, and divisions. \n  \nTogether\, these interactive plenary sessions will provide practical tools\, facilitation strategies\, and actionable ideas participants can bring back to their campuses immediately. This series is presented by Drs. Adam R Cebulski and Sheila Bustillos. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registration Information\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					ACPA MemberACPA Student MemberNon-MemberStudent Non-MemberInternational Member\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Before 22 May 2026 • $650 \nAfter 22 May 2026 • $850 \nmembership must be active through 26 June 2026 \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Before 22 May 2026 • $350 \nAfter 22 May 2026 • $450 \nmembership must be active through 26 June 2026 \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Before 22 May 2026 • $850 \nAfter 22 May 2026 • $1\,050 \nconsider becoming a member of ACPA (for a max. $179) to instantly save $200 on your registration price. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Before 22 May 2026 • $450 \nAfter 22 May 2026 • $550 \nconsider becoming a member of ACPA (for a max of $49) to save $100 on your registration price! \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Professional Rate before 22 May 2026 • $299 \nProfessional Rate after 22 May 2026 • $370 \nGraduate Student Rate  • $179 \n			\n				\n			\n				register \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registrations can be paid by check\, VISA\, MasterCard\, Discover\, or American Express.

SUMMARY:2026 Dean of Students Institute
DESCRIPTION:2026 dean of students institute\nEXCELLENCE AT THE CENTER OF CARE\n\n29-30 MARCH 2026 • BALTIMORE\, MD PRIOR TO ACPA26 \n  \n				registration is open\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				a deeply engaging\, interactive program designed to support professionals working or interested in A Dean of Students ROLE.\nThe ACPA Dean of Students Institute – Excellence at the Center of Care\, sponsored by ACPA’s Senior-Level Community of Practice\, is a deeply engaging and interactive program designed to support and develop professionals working or interested in the Dean of Students (DOS) arena as they consider and manage their unique roles. Through expert-led conversations\, interactive sessions\, and collaborative networking opportunities\, participants will develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the potential for the role of a Dean of Students in higher education. Exploring\, aspiring\, and current DOS attendees will leave the institute empowered and ready to create a nurturing environment that promotes success and well-being. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				INSITUTE FEATURES\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Through participation in the Dean of Student Institute\, you will have the opportunity to: \n\nExplore and analyze dimensions of the DOS role and formulate priorities for action.\nCreate a network of peer support for your current role and beyond with professionals from across higher education.\nConstruct an individualized plan based on what you learned for ongoing well-being\, personal\, and professional development as a senior-level higher education professional.\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Student affairs educators who work in the Dean of Student (DOS) space play unique and critical roles within higher education and for the students they serve. Often working with students or supporting the institution broadly during crises\, DOS professionals connect students to resources for physical or mental health needs\, address behavioral and academic misconduct\, respond to concerns about student or campus safety\, help students impacted by interpersonal violence navigate institutional and community processes\, and support all students as they progress toward their academic goals. In addition to direct service and care for students\, professionals in Dean of Students roles are also responsible for addressing broad campus issues\, creating or adapting policies\, and ensuring compliance with state and federal requirements. \nDean of Students professionals are expected to be the “jack of all trades” and masters of most. Although a variety of professional development opportunities speak to individual components of the role like student conduct\, case management\, or threat assessment\, no other experience focuses on this group of key professionals and the intersection of these complex issues.   \nThis learning experience is an institute and not a conference. Sessions are organized and sequenced to meet the needs of professionals at different places in their journey. Each session is also sequenced with learning outcomes to create an integrated\, developmentally scaffolded experience for the participants. Unlike conferences where participants choose to participate (or not) in concurrent sessions\, during this institute\, all attendees will participate in a cohort experience and are expected to engage fully in all aspects of the institute. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				WHO SHOULD ATTEND\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nThe ACPA Dean of Student Institute is designed to support professionals currently in the position of Dean of Students\, by title or areas of responsibility\, as well as those exploring the role as a potential career path. This includes AVC/Dean of Students\, Deans of Students\, Associate/Assistant Deans\, and senior- or mid-level professionals from across student affairs to include housing\, student conduct\, and case management. \n\nFeedback submitted by 2025 participants: “The Dean of Students Institute for ACPA25 was fantastic!! — This was the BEST value for an institute in my 22 years in the profession. — This has been one of the best trainings I have been a part of. I appreciated the authentic leadership and information shared by the faculty. — I loved connecting with other DOS or aspiring DOS professionals.— I enjoyed my time and meeting many other professionals in our field. — The connections with other colleagues were so valuable. — The DOS institute was an amazing experience. — Great institute!!  \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SCHEDULE AT-A-GLANCE\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				*all times listed in Eastern Time • Schedule is tentative and subject to change \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Day 1: Sunday\, 29 March 2026 \n\n\n\n8:30 AM\nRegistration\n\n\n9:00 AM\nInstitute Welcome\, Faculty Introductions\, Setting the Stage\n\n\n9:30 AM\nSession 1\n\n\n11:00 AM\nSession 2\n\n\n12:00 PM\nLunch (provided)\n\n\n1:00 PM\nSession 3\n\n\n2:30 PM\nSession 4\n\n\n4:00 PM\nSession 5\n\n\n5:00 PM\nDinner on your own\n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Day 2 – Monday\, 30 March 2026 \n\n\n\n8:30 AM\nBreakfast (provided) and Morning Reflections\n\n\n9:00 AM\nSession 6\n\n\n10:30 AM\nSession 7\n\n\n12:00 PM\nClosing\n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registration Information\nRegistrants are encouraged\, but not required\, to register for both the Master’s Student Conference and the Grad Connections Program. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					ACPA MembersNon-Member\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 Through 12 December 2025 \n\n$275\n\nRates after 12 December 2025 \n\n$475\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 Through 12 December 2025 \n\n$375\n\nRates after 12 December 2025 \n\n$575\n\n			\n				\n			\n				Registration is OPEN\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registrations can be paid by check\, VISA\, MasterCard\, Discover\, or American Express.

SUMMARY:2025 Institute on the Curricular Approach™
DESCRIPTION:Institute on the Curricular Approach19-22 October 2025 • DC Metro Area\n				register\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The Institute on the Curricular Approach is proudly sponsored by\n             \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Join student affairs and higher education colleagues on a journey equipping you to lead organizations toward a curricular approach to learning for all on your campus at the Institute on the Curricular Approach (ICA)! This learning experience is dynamic and valuable. Participants will be able to explore how to lead\, design\, and implement a curricular approach. ICA Faculty will offer learning opportunities including large group keynotes\, smaller sequenced sessions\, faculty consultations\, institutional showcases\, and more. Wherever you are in your journey individually and organizationally toward a departmental or divisional curricular approach\, this institute is a straight-forward way to obtain clear direction from higher education and student affairs professionals experienced with a curricular approach. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Through participation in ICA\, you will have the opportunity to:\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nApply the 10 Essential Elements of a Curricular Approach\nDesign\, implement\, and assess a Curricular Approach\nLearn from other institutions implementing a Curricular Approach through Showcase presentations\nGet feedback from Institute faculty about your Curricular Approach through Faculty Consults\n\nA Curricular Approach is a paradigm shift from traditional educational approaches to an intentional\, developmentally sequenced one\, defined by institutional mission and purpose. Staff members using a Curricular Approach first identify clear learning goals and outcomes grounded in the history\, culture\, mission\, and purpose of each institution. Then staff members identify student engagement strategies that can provide opportunities for students to achieve these learning goals and outcomes. Goals are sequenced\, pedagogy rooted in scholarship of teaching and learning\, and campus partners incorporated from throughout the institution. A Curricular Approach uses assessment to inform a process of continuous improvement. \nShifting to using a Curricular Approach is not superficial nor is it simply utilizing learning outcomes to guide programming. A curricular approach utilizes the 10 Essential Elements to think about student learning and a refined leadership mindset. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Institute Features\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				This learning experience is an institute and not a conference. Sessions are organized and sequenced to meet the needs of professionals and organizations at different places in their journey. Each session is also sequenced with learning outcomes to create an integrated\, developmentally sequenced\, experience for the participants. Showcases are also offered from a variety of institutional sizes and types to give concrete examples of how a Curricular Approach can be implemented consistently across campuses but also tailored for each unique campus context. \nWhether it is your first Institute or your twelfth\, you will leave inspired with new insights\, new collegial connections\, new examples and innovations\, and new energy. We have representatives from all sizes and types of institutions who have benefited from the Institute experience.  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Keynote Speaker\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dr. Tanya O.

SUMMARY:2025 Dean of Students Institute
DESCRIPTION:2025 Dean of Students InstituteExcellence at the Center of Care\n				registration is open!\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 15-16 February // Long beach\, ca\nThe ACPA Dean of Students Institute – Excellence at the Center of Care\, sponsored by ACPA’s Senior-Level Community of Practice\, is a deeply engaging and interactive program designed to support and develop professionals working or interested in the Dean of Students (DOS) arena as they consider and manage their unique roles. Through expert-led conversations\, interactive sessions\, and collaborative networking opportunities\, participants will develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the potential for the role of a Dean of Students in higher education. Exploring\, aspiring\, and current DOS attendees will leave the institute empowered and ready to create a nurturing environment that promotes success and well-being. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				FEATURES\nThrough participation in the Dean of Student Institute\, you will have the opportunity to: \n\nExplore and analyze dimensions of the DOS role and formulate priorities for action.\nCreate a network of peer support for your current role and beyond with professionals from across higher education.\nConstruct an individualized plan based on what you learned for ongoing well-being\, personal\, and professional development as a senior-level higher education professional.\n\n\nStudent affairs educators who work in the Dean of Student (DOS) space play unique and critical roles within higher education and for the students they serve. Often working with students or supporting the institution broadly during crises\, DOS professionals connect students to resources for physical or mental health needs\, address behavioral and academic misconduct\, respond to concerns about student or campus safety\, help students impacted by interpersonal violence navigate institutional and community processes\, and support all students as they progress toward their academic goals. In addition to direct service and care for students\, professionals in Dean of Students roles are also responsible for addressing broad campus issues\, creating or adapting policies\, and ensuring compliance with state and federal requirements. \nDean of Students professionals are expected to be the “jack of all trades” and masters of most. Although a variety of professional development opportunities speak to individual components of the role like student conduct\, case management\, or threat assessment\, no other experience focuses on this group of key professionals and the intersection of these complex issues.   \nThis learning experience is an institute and not a conference. Sessions are organized and sequenced to meet the needs of professionals at different places in their journey. Each session is also sequenced with learning outcomes to create an integrated\, developmentally scaffolded experience for the participants. Unlike conferences where participants choose to participate (or not) in concurrent sessions\, during this institute\, all attendees will participate in a cohort experience and are expected to engage fully in all aspects of the institute.  \n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\nThe ACPA Dean of Student Institute is designed to support professionals currently in the position of Dean of Students\, by title or areas of responsibility\, as well as those exploring the role as a potential career path. This includes AVC/Dean of Students\, Deans of Students\, Associate/Assistant Deans\, and senior- or mid-level professionals from across student affairs to include housing\, student conduct\, and case management. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				FACULTY\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Will J.

Roberts\nIndependent Consultant \nDennis C. Roberts is an independent consultant\, speaker\, and author. A graduate of Colorado State University (Bachelor of Music and Master of Education) and the University of Maryland (Doctor of Philosophy)\, he was the founding chair of the Leadership Task Force of ACPA Commission IV in 1976. The integrative work of this group resulted in the publication of Student Leadership Programs in Higher Education (ACPA\, 1981) advocating “that leadership capacity be cultivated beyond those who held elected or selected positions through providing opportunities for multiple populations\, with multiple strategies\, to achieve multiple purposes\, such as training\, education\, and development” (CAS Student Leadership Standard\, 2018\, p. 1). The initial work of the ACPA Leadership Task Force grew into inter-association cooperation with other student affairs professional organizations. \nRoberts has maintained a career-long commitment to cultivating student leadership including; contributing to the first draft of the CAS Standard\, co-authoring the “Social Change Model of Leadership\,” serving as the Leadership Education convener and Board member of the International Leadership Association (ILA) from its founding\, serving on the drafting committee for the ILA “General Principles\,” and contributing to and serving as an evaluator for the first cohort of institutions for the Carnegie Elective Classification “Leadership for Public Purpose.” \nHis interest in leadership persisted throughout his forty-one-year career as a student affairs educator. He last served as Assistant Vice President of Education for Qatar Foundation. During his seven years with QF he worked with Qatari and expatriate colleagues to create the student development and support services for its branch universities at Education City in Doha\, Qatar. Prior to working abroad\, he was Associate Vice President of Student Affairs at Miami University. He is past president of ACPA-College Student Educators International and has been a member of and presenter at the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators throughout his career. \nRoberts has authored 6 books and over 60 book chapters and other articles on student affairs\, student learning\, leadership\, and internationalization. One of his most significant books was Deeper Learning in Leadership (Jossey-Bass\, 2007)\, which integrated leadership theory into a model that proposed leadership as “conviction in action” and offered recommendations for how higher education could improve its success in nurturing student leadership learning. His most recent publications include: Roberts & Yamanaka\, International Perspectives in Leadership Learning\, in A Research Agenda for Leadership Learning and Development through Higher Education (Komives & Owen\, 2023); Schreiber\, Roberts & Leask\, Looking Back and Looking Forward in Towards Professionalization of Student Affairs Across the Globe (Bardill Moscaritola & Schreiber\, 2023)\, Roberts & Yamanaka\, Applying a Cultural Lens to Leadership Learning in The Role of Student Affairs in Supporting International Students at U.S. Institutions of Higher Education (Roberts & Ammigan\, 2024)\, and Roberts\, Qatar Foundation’s Education City – Early capacity building for an education hub (International Journal of Education Development\, 2024). \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Vernon Wall\nDirector of Business Development\nLeaderShape \nVernon A.

SUMMARY:2024 Paul Shang Institute for Aspiring Executive Officers™
DESCRIPTION:2024 PAUL SHANG INSTITUTE FOR ASPIRING Executive officersexploring underrepresented identities and career pathS\n(Formerly the institute for aspiring senior student affairs officers)\n				Apply now!\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				13-16 November 2024 // Atlanta\, Georgia\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				ACPA is proud to offer this exciting professional development event for those who are considering a Senior Student Affairs Officer (SSAO) or other executive officer role as a future career goal. For 2024\, we are piloting an effort to extend this professional growth opportunity to those who aspire to Senior Enrollment Management Officer\, Chief Diversity Officer\, and similar roles in the academy. The ACPA Institute for Aspiring Executive Officers: Exploring Underrepresented Identities and Career Paths will explore ways in which our diverse backgrounds (such as gender identity and presentation\, race\, ethnicity\, sexual orientation\, and physical/cognitive qualities) impact our move to and experience within an SSAO role. A faculty team of seasoned and diverse executive-level professionals from various types of institutions will lead participants in an introspective and intimate journey through six key questions:  \n\nWhat is my path?\nWhat is this role?\nWho am I?\nHow shall I lead?\nWhere should I serve?\nWhat do I need?\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				This unique professional development experience will provide participants with the opportunity to reflect on their personal identities\, vocational purpose\, and professional competencies through guided reflection and meaningful conversations in small and large group formats. Those who have already committed to the goal of serving as an SSAO or other executive officer\, as well as those who are simply contemplating it\, will benefit from the chance to think deeply and critically about that possibility with the assistance of experienced executive-level mentors. This institute will make you a stronger candidate for an SSAO or similar position and more professionally grounded when serving in this leadership role. \nA strong candidate for the ACPA Institute for Aspiring Executive Officers will possess: \n\nAt least five years of increasingly responsible management and/or leadership experience\, which includes at least three years of supervisory experience. \nAt least two years serving at the Associate Vice President/Chancellor or Director level.\nExperience in building and leading co-curricular programs and services.\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				FACULTY\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				shawna cooper whitehead\, PhD\nshe\, her\, hers // Vice President for Student Affairs\, Boston College \nShawna Cooper Whitehead\, joined Boston College as the Vice President for Student Affairs in August 2021.

SUMMARY:2024 Institute on the Curricular Approach™
DESCRIPTION:2024 institute on the curricular approachthe widely adopted go-to professional development experience for individuals and departmental teams who want to implement a Curricular Approach on campus\n				Register now\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				the Institute on the Curricular Approach is proudly sponsored by \n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Join student affairs and higher education colleagues on a journey equipping you to lead organizations toward a curricular approach to learning for all on your campus at the Institute on the Curricular Approach (ICA)! This learning experience is dynamic and valuable. Participants will be able to explore how to lead\, design\, and implement a curricular approach. ICA Faculty will offer learning opportunities including large group keynotes\, smaller sequenced sessions\, faculty consultations\, institutional showcases\, and more. Wherever you are in your journey individually and organizationally toward a departmental or divisional curricular approach\, this institute is a straight-forward way to obtain clear direction from higher education and student affairs professionals experienced with a curricular approach. \nThrough participation in ICA\, you will have the opportunity to: \n\nApply the 10 Essential Elements of a Curricular Approach\nDesign\, implement\, and assess a Curricular Approach\nLearn from other institutions implementing a Curricular Approach through Showcase presentations\nGet feedback from Institute faculty about your Curricular Approach through Faculty Consults\n\nA Curricular Approach is a paradigm shift from traditional educational approaches to an intentional\, developmentally sequenced one\, defined by institutional mission and purpose. Staff members using a Curricular Approach first identify clear learning goals and outcomes grounded in the history\, culture\, mission\, and purpose of each institution. Then staff members identify student engagement strategies that can provide opportunities for students to achieve these learning goals and outcomes. Goals are sequenced\, pedagogy rooted in scholarship of teaching and learning\, and campus partners incorporated from throughout the institution. A Curricular Approach uses assessment to inform a process of continuous improvement. \nShifting to using a Curricular Approach is not superficial nor is it simply utilizing learning outcomes to guide programming. A curricular approach utilizes the 10 Essential Elements to think about student learning and a refined leadership mindset. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				institute features\nThis learning experience is an institute and not a conference. Sessions are organized and sequenced to meet the needs of professionals and organizations at different places in their journey. Each session is also sequenced with learning outcomes to create an integrated\, developmentally sequenced\, experience for the participants. Showcases are also offered from a variety of institutional sizes and types to give concrete examples of how a Curricular Approach can be implemented consistently across campuses but also tailored for each unique campus context. \nWhether it is your first Institute or your twelfth\, you will leave inspired with new insights\, new collegial connections\, new examples and innovations\, and new energy. We have representatives from all sizes and types of institutions who have benefited from the Institute experience. \nKeynote Speaker\nDr. Tricia ShalkaAssociate Professor\, University of Rochester \nKeynote Address: Designing with Trauma in Mind \nDr. Tricia Shalka is an associate professor of higher education at the University of Rochester’s Warner School of Education & Human Development. Dr. Shalka’s research primarily investigates the impacts of traumatic experience(s) on college students\, particularly in terms of developmental outcomes. Her scholarship also explores how trauma-informed practices can inform the work of both administrators and faculty in higher education. Dr. Shalka’s research has appeared in some of the top journals in higher education and she has won several awards for her research and teaching. Prior to becoming a faculty member\, Dr. Shalka spent several years working in higher education administration in areas such as residential life\, fraternity and sorority life\, institutional assessment\, and development and alumni relations. She credits those experiences for actively shaping her scholarship and teaching.

While individual attendance is perfectly fine\, if you can register as a team\, we encourage it so you can learn together in real time and build or advance your Curricular Approach together. Team registration rates are available! \nDemographics of institute participants (based on 2023 Institute evaluation data): \n\n\n\nTeam Attendance\nYears Attending ICA\n\n\nAttended without a team: 6%\nFirst time attendee: 71%\n\n\nAttended with two to five colleagues: 46%\nReturning attendee: 29%\n\n\nAttended with more than six colleagues : 46%\n \n\n\n\n  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registration Rates\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Team RatesACPA MemberACPA Student MemberNon-MemberStudent Non-Member\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				To take advantage of team registration rates\, all participants must be ACPA members through 9 October 2024.All team members should be registered at the same time. \n\nRegistrant 1: $649 /$849*                                    • Registrant 6: $549\nRegistrant 2:$649 /$849*                                    • Registrant 7: $449\nRegistrant 3: $549                                                 • Registrant 8: $449\nRegistrant 4: $549                                                • Registrant 9: $449\nRegistrant 5: $549                                                • Registrant 10: FREE\n\n*Rate after August 6\, 2024 \nPlease note that we are unable to “hold” space for team members that are not yet hired/determined.

This buzzword is seemingly everywhere\, but what does it really mean? Why does it matter? How can we each contribute to this critical work? \n“Well-being in Higher Education: Raising Literacy and Advancing the Conversation” is a free\, virtual event taking place 26 February – 1 March\, 2024. Over 20 associations are collaborating with a goal to raise the literacy for well-being among higher education professionals and to advance conversation among colleagues on and across campuses. \nThe Well-being in Higher Education event is one of the outcomes of the Health and Well-being in Higher Education: A Commitment to Student Success and will help put the Inter-association Well-being Definition into practice. \nExpected learning outcomes for this event are that\, after attending\, participants will be able to: \n\nArticulate why well-being is critical to the mission of higher education\nDiscuss how each campus position is inherently a part of well-being work\nDescribe the aspects of well-being and differentiate between wellness and well-being\nIdentify opportunities for collaboration to increase campus well-being\n\n			\n				Learn more about this event\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Inter-association Well-being Definition\nThe Inter-association Well-being Definition is one outcome of the “Health and Well‑being in Higher Education: A Commitment to Student Success.” In our pursuit to co-create cultures of integrated well-being on campuses worldwide\, we want to ensure we are building from a shared understanding and foundation.

The ACPA Institute for Aspiring SSAOs: Exploring Underrepresented Identities and Career Paths will explore ways in which our diverse backgrounds (such as gender identity and presentation\, race\, ethnicity\, sexual orientation\, and physical/cognitive qualities) impact our move to and experience within an SSAO role. A faculty team of seasoned and diverse SSAOs from various types of institutions will lead participants in an introspective and intimate journey through six key questions:  \n\nWhat is your path?\nWhat is this role?\nWho are you?\nWhat can you do?\nWhere should you serve?\nWhat do you need?\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				This unique professional development experience will provide participants with the opportunity to reflect on their personal identities\, vocational purpose\, and professional competencies through guided reflection and meaningful conversations in small and large group formats. Those who have already committed to the goal of serving as an SSAO\, as well as those who are simply contemplating it\, will benefit from the chance to think deeply and critically about that possibility with the assistance of experienced SSAO mentors. This institute will make you a stronger candidate for an SSAO position and more professionally grounded when serving in this leadership role. \nA strong candidate for the ACPA Aspiring SSAO will possess: \n\nAt least five years of increasingly responsible management and/or leadership experience\, which includes at least three years of supervisory experience. \nAt least two years serving at the Associate Vice President/Chancellor or Director level.\nExperience in building and leading co-curricular programs and services.\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				FACULTY\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				William Franklin\nhe\, him\, his // California State University\, Dominguez Hills \nDr. Franklin holds a Ph.D. in Psychological Studies in Education with an emphasis on Child and Adolescent Development from Stanford University.  Dr. Franklin is the Vice President for Student Affairs at California State University\, Dominguez Hills\, and is the former Associate Vice President of Student Success.  Dr. Franklin leads divisional planning and policy formulation and collaborates with the broader campus community and the South Bay community on equity\, access\, student learning\, assessment\, retention\, and graduation issues.  While at CSU Dominguez Hills\, Dr. Franklin has secured over $50 million in federal\, corporate\, and private grants to design and implement student success initiatives for low-income\, first-generation students of color.  Dr. Franklin was an Associate Professor in Child and Family Studies at California State University\, Los Angeles\, and an Associate Professor of Human Development at the Center of Collaborative Education and Professional Studies at California State University\, Monterey Bay.  Dr. Franklin was honored in 2015 with The Wang Family Excellence Award.

SUMMARY:2023 Institute on the Curricular Approach™
DESCRIPTION:2023 institute on the curricular approach\nthe widely adopted go-to professional development experience for individuals and departmental teams who want to implement a Curricular Approach on campus\n				REGISTRATION IS OPEN!\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				22-25 October 2023 // Long Beach\, California\n \n the Institute on the Curricular Approach is proudly sponsored by \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Join student affairs and higher education colleagues on a journey equipping you to lead organizations toward a curricular approach to learning for all on your campus at the Institute on the Curricular Approach (ICA)! This learning experience is dynamic and valuable. Participants will be able to explore how to lead\, design\, and implement a curricular approach. ICA Faculty will offer learning opportunities including large group keynotes\, smaller sequenced sessions\, faculty consultations\, institutional showcases\, and more. Wherever you are in your journey individually and organizationally toward a departmental or divisional curricular approach\, this institute is a straight-forward way to obtain clear direction from higher education and student affairs professionals experienced with a curricular approach. \nThrough participation in ICA\, you will have the opportunity to: \n\nApply the 10 Essential Elements of a Curricular Approach\nDesign\, implement\, and assess a Curricular Approach\nLearn from other institutions implementing a Curricular Approach through Showcase presentations\nGet feedback from Institute faculty about your Curricular Approach through Faculty Consults\n\nA Curricular Approach is a paradigm shift from traditional educational approaches to an intentional\, developmentally sequenced one\, defined by institutional mission and purpose. Staff members using a Curricular Approach first identify clear learning goals and outcomes grounded in the history\, culture\, mission\, and purpose of each institution. Then staff members identify student engagement strategies that can provide opportunities for students to achieve these learning goals and outcomes. Goals are sequenced\, pedagogy rooted in scholarship of teaching and learning\, and campus partners incorporated from throughout the institution. A Curricular Approach uses assessment to inform a process of continuous improvement. \nShifting to using a Curricular Approach is not superficial nor is it simply utilizing learning outcomes to guide programming. A curricular approach utilizes the 10 Essential Elements to think about student learning and a refined leadership mindset. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Keynote Speaker: Vernon A. Wall\nVernon A. Wall has accumulated over 30+ years of professional Student Affairs experience at Iowa State University\, the University of Georgia\, UNC-Charlotte\, and UNC-Chapel Hill and has experience in Greek life\, new student orientation\, student activities\, leadership development\, global education\, and university housing. Vernon currently lives in Washington DC and is the Director for Business Development at LeaderShape\, Inc. Vernon is also President and Founder of One Better World\, LLC – a consulting firm specializing in engaging others in courageous social justice and equity conversations. \nWith degrees from North Carolina State University and Indiana University\, Vernon is the consummate scholar-practitioner. He has received several awards for his contributions to the quality of student life\, is a nationally known speaker in the areas of social justice and leadership and is one of the founders and facilitators of the Social Justice Training Institute. Vernon’s volunteer involvement with ACPA began with his graduate school professor\, Dr. Nancy Evans. Nancy was chair of the Commission for Professional Preparation (Commission XII at the time). After attending his first conference\, Nancy (who was the Chair of the Commission) asked if he would be interested in joining. In Nancy’s words: “We need some graduate student voices on this cranky – but wonderful – group.” After a year\, he became a Directorate member of the Commission and went on to chair the Task Force on Recruitment. Later\, he became a member of the National Careers in Student Affairs Week Executive Committee – which ultimately developed into what we know now as National Careers in Student Affairs month. He served as program chair and as a member of the executive committee for the Sexuality & Gender Identities Coalition (the Standing Committee for Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual and Transgender Awareness at the time). He has also been an active member of the Commission for Student Involvement (Commission IV at the time) and the Standing Committee for Multicultural Affairs (which is now represented by some amazing networks). Vernon coordinated the professional development “Roadshow” Beyond Tolerance— based on one of the two books that he and Nancy Evans co-edited. He also served on the Executive Council as a Member-at-large and as one on ACPA’s representatives on the ACPA/NASPA Blue Ribbon Task Force on Consolidation. After serving on several convention planning teams (including one of the joint ACPA/NASPA conventions) in various capacities\, President Nancy Evans asked him to be the Convention Chair for her convention in Long Beach in 2002. It was at this conference that he and Nancy unveiled the Voice of Inclusion Award. Vernon also worked for 5 years in the ACPA International Office as Senior Director for Professional Development\, Research and Scholarship. Vernon is a past President of the association and presided over the 2021 virtual conference experience. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				institute features\nThis learning experience is an institute and not a conference. Sessions are organized and sequenced to meet the needs of professionals and organizations at different places in their journey. Each session is also sequenced with learning outcomes to create an integrated\, developmentally sequenced\, experience for the participants. Showcases are also offered from a variety of institutional sizes and types to give concrete examples of how a Curricular Approach can be implemented consistently across campuses but also tailored for each unique campus context. \nWhether it is your first Institute or your twelfth\, you will leave inspired with new insights\, new collegial connections\, new examples and innovations\, and new energy. We have representatives from all sizes and types of institutions who have benefited from the Institute experience. \n  \nINSTITUTE TRACKS\nFoundations TrackThe Foundations track is for participants who are first-time attendees to ICA\, are new to designing and implementing a curriculum\, or are campus partners wanting to better understand the curricular approach. This track will engage around areas related to the 10 Essential Elements of a curricular approach\, learning organizations\, organizational change\, the process of designing/implementing a curricular approach\, assessment\, and how to move forward beyond the institute. \nRevising & Evolving TrackThe Revising & Evolving track is for participants who have attended ICA/RCI in the past or have designed and implemented a curricular approach on a campus. This track helps experienced ICA participants work to evolve and advance their curricular approach. Participants will deeply examine their strategies\, sequencing\, pedagogy\, equity-minded assessment\, and organizational context to refine and strengthen the effectiveness of their curriculum. \nStrategic Direction TrackThe Strategic Direction track is for participants who are charged with leading a curriculum or for participants who serve at the director level or above. This track is specifically suited for architects of a curriculum and organizational decision-makers. This track is about strategic leading and thinking. Participants will explore navigating political partnerships and structures. They will learn strategies to enhance collaboration\, gain buy-in from stakeholders\, share their curricular journey through storytelling\, and assess their preparedness for organizational/cultural change. \n \nTeam Registration\nConsistently\, some of the best feedback we receive from participants is from those who attended as members of an institutional team. While individual attendance is perfectly fine\, if you can register as a team\, we encourage it so you can learn together in real time and build or advance your Curricular Approach together. Team registration rates are available! \nDemographics of institute participants (based on 2022 Institute evaluation data): \n\n\n\nTeam Attendance\nYears Attending ICA\n\n\nAttended without a team: 7%\nFirst time attendee: 70%\n\n\nAttended with two to five colleagues: 43%\nReturning attendee: 30%\n\n\nAttended with more than six colleagues : 49%\n \n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registration Rates\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Team RatesACPA MemberACPA Student MemberNon-MemberStudent Non-Member\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				To take advantage of team registration rates\, all participants must be ACPA members through 25 October 2023.All team members should be registered at the same time. \n  \n\nRegistrant 1: $629         • Registrant 2: $629\nRegistrant 3: $529        • Registrant 4: $529\nRegistrant 5: $529        • Registrant 6: $529\nRegistrant 7: $429        • Registrant 8: $429\nRegistrant 9: $429        • Registrant 10: FREE\n\nPlease note that we are unable to “hold” space for team members that are not yet hired/determined.

It offers a balance of instruction and hands-on experience designed to ensure attendees leave with the assessment skills and knowledge necessary to develop and execute quality assessment plans on their campuses. \nWhether you are brand new to assessment\, taking on new responsibilities in your individual unit\, or charged with developing a division-wide plan for assessment\, the ACPA Student Affairs Assessment Institute is the answer for your professional development needs! The Institute is focused on providing developmental assessment knowledge and may not be the best professional development opportunity for more advanced practitioners. If you are unsure whether or not the Institute may be right for you or have general questions\, please contact info@acpa.nche.edu and we’ll be happy to assist! \ninstitute tracks & features\nAssessment Institute attendees have the opportunity to select their track when they register for the Institute\, making the experience educationally catered to each registrants professional journey. Tracks help guide attendees session selections at the Institute based on their focus area or role with assessment.  \nThe following tracks will be offered at the 2023 Institute: \n\nFoundations Track  – Sessions will be focused on building foundational assessment knowledge and skills for individuals with limited training or experience with assessment. If you’re new to assessment\, regardless of your position\, this is where to start. Topics include: assessment cycle\, basic terminology\, data ethics\, writing learning and program outcomes\, basic quantitative and qualitative methods\, and reporting results.\nPractitioners Track – Sessions will be focused on expanding assessment knowledge and skills for individuals tasked with championing assessment for one or more departments.

Topics include: more advanced quantitative and qualitative methods\, survey design\, interviews & focus groups\, data cleaning and analysis\, and data visualization.\nAdministrator Track – Sessions will be focused on supplementing assessment knowledge and skills for leaders of a department\, division\, college\, or university. If you’ve done some assessment but want to build your application of assessment as a unit leader\, this is for you. Topics include: strategic planning\, prioritization\, alignment with campus partners\, storytelling\, and using results.\n\nEquity-Centered Keynote\nLeveraging Assessment to Advance Equity in College \nDespite the diversification of college student populations\, inequity in access\, retention\, and graduation continues. Higher education institutions have employed a number of programs and services to address diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, but still the goals of equity remain unfulfilled. Assessment can be a valuable tool to explore inequities on campus and move to remedy them. But assessment itself is not apolitical or objective and the approaches we use and the mindfulness with which we conduct assessment can advance equity in higher education or perpetuate inequities and cause harm. This session will highlight the critical role of cultivating individual awareness as assessors; discuss the context and scholarly history of equity-centered and equity-minded assessment; share frameworks for considering various approaches to centering equity in assessment; and provide some examples of practice and resources. Participants will have an opportunity to reflect on how their current assessment practice centers equity and consider where they have influence to impact systemic change via more equitable and equity-centered assessment. \nLearning Outcomes \n\nDescribe key characteristics of equity-centered assessment\nIdentify at least three types of equity-minded or equity-centered assessment\nConsider their role as assessors in advancing equity\nApply at least four equity-centered assessment strategies\n\nKeynote Speakers \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Gavin Henning\n					Keynote Speaker \n					Dr. Gavin W.
