Member Spotlight

Working in Student Affairs, it’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day demands and forget to prioritize self-care. For me, NASPA has become a home—a place where I find connection, education, growth, and personal well-being. NASPA has been instrumental in supporting my transition into my first SSAO role, helping me build meaningful connections, find mentors, and continue my professional development.

Alexander Cross, MEd

Dean of Students
Nichols College

NASPA’s dedication to first-generation students and their success in higher education makes membership a priority for me in my role at the University of Idaho. In leading the university’s efforts to become a FirstGen Forward institution, NASPA has been a critical resource for me and the leadership team. The presence of first-generation students at the UI is significant and growing (60% of this year’s first-year class is first-generation). Having a network of supportive professionals to ensure the success of these students is tremendous. I cannot thank NASPA enough.

Scott Clyde, PhD

Executive Director, TRIO-INSPIRE
University of Idaho

While relatively new to NASPA, having joined in 2021, I've been a dedicated student affairs professional for nearly 13 years. NASPA has been an invaluable resource, offering support and insights across all facets of my role at CWI. I'm eager to deepen my involvement by attending the upcoming annual conference to connect with colleagues, expand my knowledge, and contribute to the NASPA community.

Heather Grayson Holley, M.S. AOLL

Director Student Support Services
College of Western Idaho

I have been a NASPA member for three years now and I find it to be a great resource for Student Affairs professionals. I have a passion for outcome-based programmatic assessment, and I have found great resources both online and in national and regional conferences. Recently, I presented at the Region I conference on connecting programmatic assessment with divisional outcomes.

Eric Blackburn

Director of Student Engagement
Rivier University

As an advisor of a Peer Education program, NASPA has helped not only my growth but a large number of students. We were able to bring several students to the NASPA Strategies Conference this year in part due to generous NASPA scholarships. These opportunities have not only had an impact on these students participating, but students across our campus who benefit from our Peer Educators.
