SUMMARY:"From My Father's Eyes": A Conversation with Father Professionals
DESCRIPTION:“FROM MY FATHER’S EYES”: A CONVERSATION WITH FATHER PROFESSIONALS\n \nTUESDAY\, January 27th\, 2026\n2 – 3PM EST / 1 – 2PM CST / 12 – 1PM MST / 11AM – 12PM PST\n \nDESCRIPTION\nFatherhood remains an underexamined topic within higher education\, particularly when viewed through the experiences of fathers themselves. As faculty and staff welcome new additions to their families\, they navigate evolving personal roles as spouses and parents while simultaneously managing shifting expectations in their professional responsibilities and their engagement with students. These dynamics are even more complex for fathers of color\, whose experiences are shaped by intersecting racial and gender identities that influence both their personal lives and their professional trajectories. To better provide voice to this topic\, we are hosting a panel of fathers of color working in higher education\, facilitated by Dr. Adrian H. Huerta\, Associate Professor of Education at USC Rossier School of Education. \nThis webinar is presented by the Coalition on Men & Masculinities (CMM)\, in collaboration with the Asian Pacific American Network (APAN)\, the Indigenous Student Affairs Network (ISAN)\, the Native American Indigenous Coalition (NAIC)\, the Multiracial and Transracial Adoptee Network (MTAN)\, the Pan African Network (PAN)\, the Latinx Network (LN)\, and the Coalition on Multicultural Affairs (CMA). \n**This webinar is free for all ACPA members** \n \n  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				FACILITATOR\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					\n						CMM Scholar-in-Residence: Adrián H.

SUMMARY:Belonging\, Diversity's Bold New Frontier: A Conversation with Senior Scholar and Administrators
DESCRIPTION:Belonging\, Diversity’s Bold New Frontier: A Conversation with Senior Scholar and Administrators\npresented in partnership by the senior-level community of practice (SLCOP) and florida college personnel association (FCPA)\nthursday\, 29 january 2026 | 1:00-2:00pm ET\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe contemporary national and higher education contexts have experienced a wave of backlash\, pushback\, and retrenchment in the efforts to advance diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI). These terms that once invoked discourse that offered hope and promise as it related to how they would be operationalized in colleges\, schools\, universities\, and workforce settings has now been deemed at best divisive and at worst counter productive to uniting the States of America. Thus\, this session will shed light on how seasoned higher education scholars and administrators have navigated and continue to negotiate the terrain as it relates to advancing their administrative and scholarly engagements in environments. And\, how they have ultimately shifted their foci to foreground Belonging when the focus on DEI left them at a crossroads.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration information:\n\nComplimentary for ACPA Individual Members\nComplimentary for ACPA Chapter Only Members\n$10 for Non-Members\n$5 for International Non-Members (must currently reside outside the continental United States and Hawaii)\n\n  \npresenter information:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFred A.

Everyone is short on resources\, time\, and staff\, and sometimes it feels as though high level artist agents are speaking a different language. Having a clear strategy\, some background context\, and a realistic timeline and plan helps. Let’s dive into the details of how the music industry works\, and how your campus event fits into the larger picture. Participants will leave this workshop with not only a plan and some resources to achieve their goals\, but also some background knowledge of how live events on college campuses fit into the overall scheme of an artist’s touring plans. \nThis event is complementary for members. \n			\n				Register Now

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.

When we think about facilitation\, we know the right facilitator can make all the difference. You know this to be true if you remember the last bad facilitator you had. So\, we have created content to help you deliver the best for your audience. First\, as your guides\, we have scoured through Mike’s Ph.D. research and are sharing the top 12 things participants need from facilitators and the results are fascinating! Join us if you want to practice your facilitative skills\, increase your audience’s evaluations score on your work\, learn how to flex your style to meet your audience\, figure out how to make your work more interactive using the 70/30 rule\, practice your pace and pitch\, and learn where facilitators can often go wrong. Finally\, we will teach you how to read your audience when they make a face that stresses you out. \nAs we share\, you never went to camp to watch videos about canoeing\, horseback riding\, and the ropes course. Why would your participants come to your course to watch you read the PowerPoints when they could be trying something themselves?
