September Updates and Opportunities for Involvement

As I'm sure you've all noticed, the year is rolling by quickly! In addition to everything taking place on campuses around the world, the past few months have also been busy for SCGSNP! The committee has continued their work on some exceptional projects to better serve you and to meet your needs! We are particularly excited about the free webinar for Careers in Student Affairs Month and an upcoming free webinar and online case study competition being hosted in conjunction with SCLGBTA.

We would like to thank everyone that submitted programs and those that volunteered to review programs! We had 184 people volunteer to review the 20 programs that we received. This is absolutely outstanding! If you're looking for other ways to get involved please see this months list:

• Graduate students, renew your membership for a chance to win a convention package! ACPA will be drawing names of those that have renewed their membership before November 1. They will be giving away free registration packages and packages that include registration and travel funds!
• Call for award nominations is now open! Please take 5 minutes from your day to appreciate the hard work and dedication of those around you. To learn more about our awards or to nominate someone please go to http://www2.myacpa.org/convention2/awards.
• If you would like to help review award nominations please email our awards coordinator, Nicole Robbins, at n.robbins85@gmail.com.
• SCGSNP Structure and Elections Review- Over the past few years there have been many discussions about the current election procedure for the SCGSNP Directorate. We are currently evaluating this system to determine if there is another method that would allow for greater involvement. There will be a small committee working on this project. If you have any thoughts about this or would be interested in serving on this committee please email chair.scgsnp@gmail.com.

Thank you for your membership and involvement. If you have other suggestions or ways in which we can assist in enhancing your ACPA experience please let us know!
