President's Message
Happy new (academic) year!
It is wonderful to have a new year full of promise and possibility underway. This year, unlike last, we all have students back on our campuses. Our students have returned to our communities yearning for engagement, exploration, relationship and learning. It is our privileged responsibility to walk with our students as they seek meaning and purpose in the complicated landscape that is 2021.
JASPA’s aspiration is to inspire, equip and connect our colleagues from across our network. We hope the resources, relationships and opportunities we provide will assist you doing the very good and important work you do, supporting our students as they explore, connect, and deepen their commitment to the common good.
There are many opportunities to connect to JASPA this year. Here are but a few:
- Attend Online Enrichment Webinars (this year’s theme is Making Meaning in Student Affair)
- Apply for an Innovation Grant
- Attend our Annual Conference in Baltimore on March 19th
- Join a Functional Area Network Group
- Engage with us on social media
You can learn about these opportunities, and others, on our website.
Student affairs professionals have long been central actors in Jesuit higher education. Together we have helped shape our institutions and further the pursuit of our bold and shared mission. This year, we hope that JASPA can once again contribute to the formation, revitalization and creativity of student affairs professionals from all of our colleges and universities. And too, we are eager for you to contribute your voice, experience and talent to JASPA.
We look forward to seeing you this year, online and in person!
All the best,
Dave Johnson, PhD
Xavier University
JASPA President
