Small Colleges and Universities
The Small Colleges and Universities Division provides leadership in higher education to promote understanding of small college and university missions, challenges, and opportunities. The Division ensures that NASPA's programmatic and policy directions appropriately respond to small institutions – defined as those enrolling less than 5,000 students – and their unique needs. The Conference Leadership Committee is focused on making sure you see yourself in the content we develop for the 2025 event!
