Activity Name & Description: Knowledge is
Power Conference: NASPA Drive In
Activity:
In the Summer Semester of my Graduate experience, I was invited by
my supervisor Anthony Ragazzo to attend NASPA’s
Drive in Conference: Knowledge is Power which was hosted at CSUF.
Below is a provided invitation of the conference…
Each summer, the Division of Student Affairs at Cal State
Fullerton hosts an annual professional development conference for university
staff, faculty, administrators and student leaders called: Knowledge is
Power. This year, this conference will be co-sponsored by the NASPA
Region VI SoCal Executive Board, and will be open to all CSUF members as well
as all other student affairs professionals and students in our region.
The theme for this year’s conference is “Defining the Nature of
Student Success.” This joint conference will provide a forum for student
affairs professionals to share information, highlight individual areas of
expertise, and promote mutual understanding and collaboration. Breakout
sessions for this year’s conference will focus on the theme as it relates to
the following learning tracks: (A) Leadership; (B) Equity, Diversity
& Inclusion and; (C) Personal Foundations. These tracks are part of the
NASPA Professional Development Competencies for Student Affairs
Practitioners: http://www.naspa.org/programs/profdev/.
We look forward to you joining us for an informative day in which you invest in
your professional development and connect (or re-connect) with other student
affairs professionals in our region.

Reflection
Upon
reflecting on the NASPA: Knowledge is Power Conference, I realized that
developing my personal foundation is about continually crafting my ethics and purpose
of why I choose to be in this field. It is still very new, but I feel that
these conferences are enhancing my ability to serve all students. I think I have learned that I must strive to create spaces to inspire hope in the students that I serve. Creating spaces for students to make meaning in their own lives is the kind of work that I want to be apart of. I am learning that as I craft my own philosophy of leadership, I must be willing to evolve as student populations evolve. This conference taught me that student Affairs Educators must have their own vision, their own mission statement and work to improving the lives of students by leading with hope. We must create a sense of hope, the kind of hope that catalyzes students to develop and learn because they will be better.
