National Association for Student Activities

Seminar Series

You'll want to actually use your laptop to "Zoom" into our Seminar Series!

Throughout the school year, our virtual NA4SA Seminar Series explores areas and topics of interest to Student Activity Professionals. There is NO COST to participate in our Seminar Series and you can attend one seminar or come to them all!

All of the seminars are virtual (through Zoom) and advance registration is required so that we can plan accordingly. Each installment of our Seminar Series features presenters who are ready to share their experience and expertise with YOU, but that's not all. In each seminar, time is built in for all participants to network and share ideas about the topic at hand - because not all the great ideas come from the experts!

Scroll down to see more of what we're talking about...and we look forward to having YOU join us at one or all future seminars in this year's NA4SA Seminar Series! If you have any questions, please contact NA4SA Seminar Series Chairperson Kelley Cusmano at kcusmano@na4sa.org..
