The
2009 National Summit on Black and Hispanic Greek-Letter Organizations
The
National Summit serves as a forum for professional growth
and development for all who are involved in or work with
Black and/or Hispanic Greek-Letter organizations. This NASAP National
Summit offers a diverse array of programs that stimulate
thought, discussion and ideas to become useful tools at
colleges and universities.
The
History of NASAP
The
National Association of Student Affairs Professionals
(NASAP) is a professional organization founded in 1954,
which is dedicated to promoting excellence in the area
of Student Affairs. The organization serves as a beacon
for student affairs personnel in addressing the issues
and needs of today's college students. With a varied membership
spanning across academic, administrative, corporate, and
student affairs boundaries, the organization offers a
variety of resources and experiences. In addition, NASAP
serves as a viable outlet for professional development
and networking.
The
NASAP Annual conference provides opportunities to: (a)
foster team building and sharing of knowledge, skills
and abilities between those holding administrative positions
in Student Affairs, (b) create a network among student
affairs administrators at diverse colleges with emphasis
on the administrative challenges faced in such settings,
and (c) provide opportunities to hear various administrative
challenges as well as the range of successful strategies
currently being implemented to address these issues.
The
origins of NASAP can be traced back to two parent organizations:
The National Association of Deans of Women and Advisor
of Girls in Colored schools (DOWA), founded in 1929, and
the National Association of Personnel Dean of Men at Negro
Educational Institutions (DOMA), founded in 1935. History
was made on Thursday April 1, 1954 at 4:00 p.m. on the
campus of Howard University in the Wheatley Hall Recreation
Room when, in a joint business session, delegates of the
two parent organizations founded the National Association
of Personnel Workers (NAPW). Today we are known as the
National Association of Student Affairs Professionals
(NASAP) and we enthusiastically invite you to fully participate
in NASAP.
