“My engagement with ACPA supports my professional identity and allows me
to gain the development I need to be successful in my work. ACPA connects
me with a network who inspires me to think critically about who I am as a
higher education professional. Through ACPA’s communications, publications,
and presentations, I gather valuable resources and learn best practices to help
me be more creative in my campus role. I am renewed by my participation in
ACPA, as it allows me to engage more thoughtfully in my work, reminds me
why it matters, and makes me a better leader for my campus.”
