History of NASAP and The Student Leadership Institute!

The National Association of Student Affairs Professionals (NASAP), formerly known as the National Association of Personnel Workers, was founded in 1954 on the campus of Howard University in Washington, DC. 

NASAP is a professional organization dedicated to promoting excellence in Student Affairs. The organization serves as a beacon for student affairs personnel addressing the issues and needs of today’s college students.  It is on the leading edge regarding issues, solutions and professional development opportunities for student affairs professionals who serve minority populations in diverse settings around the country.  The focus of NASAP is to:

• Serve as a professional agency for the collection of research, the promotion of professional development and the implementation of effective student services program.

 

• Develop and foster a spirit of unity and cooperation among members of the Student Affairs Profession and other related professionals, thereby enabling maximum assistance to students.

 

• Systematically encourage individuals with the prescribed abilities and interests to enter the field of Student Services.

 

In carrying out this mission, the Association provides professional development through conferences, workshops, and the NASAP Student Leadership Institute.  Our Motto is: “Work Is Love Made Visible.”

 

Objectives

The Student Leadership Institute is an intensive, interactive, and stimulating learning program.  It is a seven day program designed for newly elected HBCU student leaders (Student Government, Class Officers, Greek Councils, Student Ambassadors, Programming Boards, Kings and Queens) who are committed to uplifting their organizations and their university.

 

Goals

The primary goal of the Institute is to prepare participants to develop resourceful solutions to problems they are likely to encounter as student leaders on their respective campuses.  Through the Institute, participants will be able to:

 

• Understand the mission and need for Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
• Understand the role of student leaders on campuses.
• Develop an appreciation for planning and organization in the development of students.
• Serve as catalysts on their respective campuses for empowerment and change.
• Develop skills necessary to work with other student organizations, faculty, administration, and fellow students to establish cooperation and positive attitudes as the foundation for success.
• Encompass a solid understanding of leadership development, its principles and service in the Black community as related to the world and nation’s uplift and progress.
• Develop a relationship with campus administration to cause collaborative solutions.
• Experience collaborative learning and enjoyment while developing invaluable skills.

 

What Will I Learn While Attend the Institute?
