2025 NASPA Mid-level Administrators Conference (MLAC)

Division/Group Events

The 2025 NASPA Mid-level Administrators Conference (MLAC) 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. During this 2.5-day conference, participants will gain insights about promising practices to further develop  professional competencies, networking and supervisory skills,  strategies to improve professional practice, and networks to advance your career. The Mid-level Administrators Conference is designed for student affairs professionals who serve in roles between (but not including) entry-level positions and AVP (and the equivalent) roles. Additionally, professionals who have been serving in entry-level roles for at least 5 years are welcome to attend. 

As a result of this experience, participants will be able to:

  • Build and strengthen strategies for organizational leadership to include leading change, navigating institutional politics, managing resources, and supervising team members;

  • Develop the skills 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.

Join us for a conference packed with featured speakers, concurrent sessions around three key student affairs certification learning domains, small group reflection opportunities, and one-on-one coaching meetings. We look forward to seeing you in Salt Lake City, UT, in June 2025!
