2023 NASPA Mid-level Administrators Conference
In-Person Conferences Mid-Level
June 11 - June 13, 2023 Kansas City, MO
The 2023 NASPA Mid-level Administrators Conference is a dynamic professional development event designed to provide mid-level student affairs professionals with the opportunity to engage and learn with colleagues and senior student affairs administrators. Participants will gain insights from promising practices and personal reflections to further develop their professional competencies, networking and supervisory skills, and acquire new skills and strategies to improve their professional practice. The Mid-level Administrators Conference is designed for those student affairs professionals who serve in roles between (but not including) entry-level positions and AVP (and the equivalent) roles. As a result of this experience, participants will be able to:
-
Build and strengthen strategies for organizational leadership to include change leadership, political landscapes, resource management, crisis management, and supervisory skills;
-
Develop the skill to manage from the middle both internally to include staff and supervisors, and externally to include stakeholders and cross-campus constituents;
-
Maximize your role to gain a deeper understanding of influence, power, and resources while advancing your professional growth; and
-
Build a go-to network of mid-level colleagues.

About
The 2023 NASPA Mid-level Administrators Conference is a global conference hosted by NASPA designed to develop student affairs administrators who have advanced professionally beyond entry-level positions and have not yet attained AVP (or the equivalent) roles. The combination of concurrent sessions and small group discussions will help you develop the skill sets to effectively manage from the middle, to understand the intersection and impact of your personal code of ethics and your leadership roles, to reflect on your personal strengths and areas for improvement, and to envision your professional growth. The convergence of these topics will help you reflect on and further your professional development and will provide you a road map as you continue your professional journey.
One of the most rewarding aspects of this conference will be the opportunity to network with your colleagues to get fresh ideas, find new ways to solve problems, share promising practices, and reassure yourself that you are not alone in facing the challenges and opportunities of managing from the middle. This two-and-a-half day experience will provide you with new insights to help refine professional and personal strategies to advance your career as a student affairs administrator.
