Hello!

We are thrilled to announce that NALSAP Conference registration is NOW OPEN! Registration is $100 for NALSAP members and $150 for non-members. The conference will take place on June 1-3, 2017, at UCLA School of Law in Los Angeles, California. You can register online here: nalsap.org/events/conference.

Here are some highlights of what the inaugural conference will feature:

Connie Horton will provide us with a “counseling toolbox” for student affairs professionals. Specific counseling tools us laypeople can employ as we’re meeting with students on the front lines. Dr. Horton, Ph.D. and a Licensed Psychologist, is the Associate Vice President for Student Life and the Senior Director of Counseling, Health, and Wellness at Pepperdine University.
Catherine Matthews, J.D., Ph.D., Indiana University Maurer School of Law, will provide a higher education law primer aimed specifically at law school student affairs professionals.
14 concurrent sessions covering a broad range of topics, such as supporting marginalized students, Generation Z, mentorship programs, conduct, strategies for doing more with less in an era of decreasing budgets, strategies for inclusion of Graduate Program & International Students, diversity and implicit bias, student development theory, and so much more!
Opportunities for networking with colleagues from across the nation at the first conference entirely devoted to law student affairs professionals, including a welcome mixer, networking lunches, wellness activities with the NALSAP Conference Committee, and more.
Two NALSAP business meetings where you can learn more about this brand new organization and get involved in various leadership roles.
Wellness, wellness, wellness! Mindfulness, meditation, self-care (for students AND for US!) will be woven throughout the conference into various plenary/concurrent sessions, as well as some fun experiential offerings.
Optional QPR suicide prevention training on Saturday afternoon. QPR is an emergency response to someone in crisis and can save lives. QPR’s suicide prevention course is designed to teach professionals how to reduce the immediate risk of suicide and provide longer-term care for those at risk.
