Program Reviewer

To shape a high-quality learning experience for all attendees, the ACPA24 Program Team needs a diverse team of reviewers from all functional areas of higher education, tertiary education, and student affairs and services. Representation is needed from all career levels, including graduate and entry-level, mid-level, senior-level professionals, and faculty. ACPA members of Color, transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming members, women, disabled members, and members with additional minoritized or silenced identities are encouraged to participate as program proposal reviewers.

As a reviewer, you provide feedback to individuals submitting proposals, learn more about best practices and initiatives in higher education, and gain professional development experience in evaluating proposals.

When you apply to serve as a reviewer, you indicate the types of sessions and topic areas you feel qualified to review given your experiences and knowledge/skill level in each of the ACPA/NASPA Professional Competencies for Student Affairs Educators. It is our goal to match you with proposals that align with your indicated knowledge/skills.The ACPA24 Program team will provide you with a variety of resources and tools to guide your reviews, ensuring that you have full support along the way.
