On behalf of the 2012 NASPA Region IV-East Conference Committee, welcome to our regional conference website. We are excited to host this year’s
conference (November 4-6) in a city considered one of the nation’s best—MADISON, WISCONSIN. In addition to being the state’s capital – a symbol of democracy,
Madison is renowned for innovation, sustainability, and its commitment to a diversity of thought and opinion. Madison is also known for its history in
student affairs.
Did you know, in 1919, the first gathering of Deans in the Midwest was held in Madison? The Deans convened with faculty over their shared interest in students, their lives, and their unique and profound development.
With this rich context, what better backdrop to a conference that asks "How do you blur the lines"? To help you answer that, we are planning on amazing array of speakers, nearly 65 educational sessions, and special events featuring opportunities to network with colleagues in and outside of student affairs. The hotel is amazing and the city is unparalleled. And most of all, we want you to have a chance to gather with over 400 educators as we renew our focus on student success.
Indeed, Madison, Wisconsin is the place where we will renew our commitment to progress and transformation. I invite you to “Blur the Lines” and we look forward to seeing you in Madison. Register today!
