Initially envisioned by the 2009 NASPA summer interns Jimmy Doan and Danielle Howard, the NASPA Graduate Associate Program (GAP) is an initiative to increase awareness of NASPA events, publications, and programs by increasing leadership opportunities of graduate students within NASPA. NASPA GAs are expected to work collaboratively with other GAs throughout the world to become another communication conduit for NASPA offerings with a campus community. Associates also have the opportunity to serve on an unofficial graduate student council, providing another perspective for NASPA student membership. Each campus will have one NASPA GA who will be selected by NASPA, and the term of the NASPA GA is September 1, 2011-July 31, 2012. Access the full position description and requirements with this link.
The benefits of applying to become a NASPA GA are numerous. Aside from becoming more knowledgeable about your professional association and networking virtually with other graduate students, all NASPA GAs will receive recognition on the NASPA website, a complimentary copy of Beginning Your Journey: A Guide for New Professionals in Student Affairs (Third Edition), and a chance of receiving one of the four NASPA GAP Conference Stipends (complimentary registration and three nights of hotel at the annual conference).
All application materials must be received by August 4, 2011. If you have any questions or concerns at any point in the application process, please do not hesitate to contact Nathan Victoria, assistant director of educational programs and social media, at nvictoria@naspa.org, @NASPAtweets, or 202-265-7500, x1163.
