April 11, 2020 by Dean Hoke – When I arrived again to the United States in 2017-18 I preferred to re-have interaction with the US university neighborhood. I joined NAFSA primarily owing to my get the job done in International Greater Training but I also preferred to be a section of a smaller sized corporation the place I could get to know the persons far better and go to conferences that would proceed my specialist advancement. I made the decision to sign up for in 2018 The American Association of University Directors (AAUA).

It is the only specialist association for persons who are intrigued in the full variety of higher instruction management (from section chair/unit director by president) in the overall various set of American colleges and universities (two- and 4-year public, non-public non-gain, personal for-earnings complete, investigate-targeted, specific mission).

Membership in AAUA helps aid the association’s mission. In addition, membership provides—for individuals associates who have an interest—opportunities for specialist networking and leadership.

Possibilities to collaborate on providing qualified enhancement providers are obtainable as perfectly.

Expert Improvement Possibilities

The 50th Management Seminar of the American Association of College Administrators is scheduled for June 9-10, 2022. It will be held as a hybrid occasion, with in-particular person periods assembly at the Marriott Stanton South Seaside Hotel (Miami, Florida).
