Boston, a city known for its role in American Revolutionary history is also a recognized leader in progress. Boston is America's college town, with more than 250,000 students at 50 institutions of higher education.

The 2010 Convention theme, Innovative Ideas • Revolutionary Results, does more than connect us to the historic legacy of our meeting in Boston. Our convention offers us a framework to re-think how we approach our work with students. How do our services and programs engage students in and out-of-the classroom? How do we know if we provide outstanding service and programs? We have an opportunity to seek creative solutions and consider how we can best leverage resources in order to serve students holistically and globally. This includes moving beyond seeking collaboration to creating synergistic relationships with partners across the globe.

ACPA – College Student Educators International actively promotes and recognizes principles of fairness, equity, and social justice in relation to, and across intersections of race, age, color, faith, religion, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, sex, sexual orientation, social class, economic class, ethnicity, gender identity/expression, and all other identities represented among our diverse membership.

By appreciating the importance of inclusion, we acknowledge that the collective and individual talents, skills, and perspectives of members, constituent groups, and partners foster a culture of belonging, collaborative practice, innovation, and mutual respect. ACPA seeks to empower and engage professionals, scholars, and partners in actions that productively contribute to accomplishing the goals of our association.
