“ACPA helped me find success in student affairs through its dedicated focus
on building community among its members. As a graduate student, I set the
goal of presenting at the national conference, but I was unsure where to start.
Through outreach to my advisor, a former ACPA governing board member, she
connected me with the Standing Committee on Disability whose members not
only supported my idea, but asked to co-present with me. I will never forget
their generosity, and because of it, I will aim to be just as supportive to any new
graduate students who want to get involved.”
