First-time Attendees

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the 2025 NASPA Annual Conference Mentorship Program, this signature program is designed to foster meaningful connections and professional development within our community. Whether you are looking for a way to give back, looking for support as you navigate the profession, or just want to expand your network, this is the opportunity for you! 

This mentorship program provides an excellent opportunity to engage with colleagues across the field and gain valuable insights from experienced professionals. The primary goal is to foster meaningful, supportive relationships among NASPA members to enhance professional growth and development.

How to Get Involved:

We invite members to express interest in participating as either a mentee or a mentor by completing the mentorship application here. This form helps us gather information about your experiences, goals, and areas of interest to help us make thoughtful and effective pairings. We encourage individuals to apply by our February 6 deadline but will accept applications on a rolling basis afterwards. 

Once matched, we ask all mentors and mentees to connect once before the conference, once at the conference, and once after. We constantly see a need for mentoring in our profession and hope you will join us!

Important Dates:

Priority Deadline to Apply: February 5, 2025

Matching Notifications: Participants will be notified about their matches the week of February 17, 2025.
