I can’t get e-NUFP of NASPA!: Sam Siner

Hi everyone!  My name is Sam Siner, and I am a senior at the University of  Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  I’m applying to several graduate schools in  the area of Higher Education Administration/Student Affairs.  I hope to work  in advising, counseling, student programming, or a related function, and I  may pursue a PhD at some point.  I really enjoy working with  students, helping them to grow as they navigate the challenges of  college.

My goal for attending the NASPA national conference in March is  to develop myself personally and professionally.  I’m really  looking forward to meeting other NUFP fellows, graduate students,  and professional staff from all over the country.  I have  never experienced a professional conference before, so it will be a  learning experience for me.  I intend to take advantage of  professional development opportunities available at the conference.  These  include
the SALT pre-conference program and several sessions, such as Reshaping Undergraduate Education, Upperclass Living-Learning, Bridging  Student and Academic Affairs, The Higher Education Mental Health Alliance, A  Legacy of Criticism, Engaging Student Affairs Staff in Strategic Planning,  Why a Master’s Degree in Student Affairs, and Campus Mental Health  Services.
