The UTSA Division of Student Affairs is hosting its 6th Annual Student Affairs Conference on both Thursday, March 20th and Friday, April 4th. By now, Student Affairs staff have received their individual link to registration. RSVP today to get your spot.

The conference is a one day event presented on two separate days to maximize attendance while still allowing for departmental coverage.

The only remaining date is Friday, April 4th.

This year’s theme is “Act It, Believe It, Live It: Continuing a Culture of Student Commitment”. Sponsored by the Student Affairs Staff Development Team, the annual conference provides staff members the opportunity to further enhance both professional development and networking opportunities. The conference is open to all staff members in the Division of Student Affairs. To enhance networking opportunities, this year we have opened a limited number of spaces for our colleagues across UTSA and at other local institutions.

We plan to include topics such as leadership, team building, customer service, student success, student learning, supervision, distinct student populations and much more! We hope to see you at our 6th Annual Student Affairs Conference!
