NASPA
2024 NASPA Annual Conference

Mid-level Administrators

Mid-level administrators have a unique position in student affairs. Defined as student affairs professionals who serve in roles between (and not including) entry-level positions and AVP (and the equivalent) roles, mid-level administrators are valued members of the NASPA community.  The Conference Leadership Committee is focused on making sure you see yourself in the content we develop for the 2024 event!

Meet the Mid-level Administrators Steering Committee

Last year, NASPA established a Mid-level Administrators Steering Committee. The Steering Committee comprises 23 mid-level administrators who serve at a wide variety of institutional types throughout the seven NASPA regions. It works to ensure that programs relevant to mid-level administrators are offered during regional and national events.  To learn more about this committee, please visit their website.
