“I’m writing my story so that others might see fragments of themselves.” – Lena Waithe

One of the most powerful lifelines in a community is storytelling. We are excited to bring back the Student Affairs blog as a place to share our triumphs, struggles, moments of joy and moments of strength. This is a place for you to share your words with the higher education community. 

We acknowledge that this is a time of unknowns, of high demands, new realities, and pressures from all sides. We invite you to write as a way to process this experience, share your stories, and contribute to our greater community of practitioners — as you are able and willing. 

We welcome stories that address:

• Moments of brilliance in this place of uncertainty. How has your unit or campus come together to support your students, staff, faculty, and community? 
• This new reality. How are you personally dealing with these changes? 
• What are you seeing/hearing on-campus/from your students that we can all learn from?
• Self-Care, how this is defined by you
• Strategies for supporting each other through this time 

Authors can be:

• Full-, or part-time staff in any functional area of higher education. This includes student affairs, academic affairs, enrollment management, athletics, and so on. 
• Graduate students in higher education/student affairs programs. 
• Undergraduate students interested in student affairs. This includes student leaders and employees working in student affairs spaces, such as resident assistants/advisors, student activities, fraternity and sorority life, and student unions.

A few things to note:

• You do not need to be a NASPA member to participate.
• This is not a place to advertise your own services (such as consulting) or businesses.
• While we value the experience of vendors, this space is not a space to sell your company.
