Mission

UNLV’s Student Affairs Conference provides a unique professional development opportunity that brings together Student Affairs staff, graduate assistants, and collaborating faculty.

About the Conference

In 2009, the Office of the Vice President started the conference as a new, innovative way to provide professional development opportunities to the Division of Student Affairs staff. A conference committee was also created that year and given the responsibility of planning and managing this now bi-annual event. The Division of Student Affairs team members and the campus community have come to value the conference as a chance to learn and collaborate while also having fun.
