About
The NASPA Conferences on Student Success in Higher Education convenes the student success-focused community to engage in important professional development, exchange innovative ideas, and network with peers. You will engage with content from the Assessment, Persistence, and Data Analytics Conference, First-generation Student Success Conference, and the Dismantling Systemic Barriers to Student Success Conference.
The Dismantling Systemic Barriers to Student Success Conference is a convergence of the former Student Financial Wellness Conference and the Closing the Achievement Gap Conference with the addition of exciting expanded content. This new conference, launched in 2021, joins the Assessment, Persistence, and Data Analytics Conference and the First-generation Student Success Conference. Conference programming will foster important dialogue to uncover pervasive barriers and prompt strategic change in institutional approaches for serving students and advancing outcomes.
In addition to a robust selection of educational programming, the conferences will offer multiple dynamic keynotes, thought-provoking pre-conference workshops, exhibit hall offerings, and active engagement with attendees and presenters.
The NASPA Conferences on Student Success in Higher Education is your opportunity to take a cross-functional approach to student success when it has never been more important.

Call for Programs
The Call for Programs is Now Closed
Thank you to all who submitted programs to help shape the conversations at this year’s conferences by submitting a program proposal. The #SSHE22 Conference Advisory Committee was thrilled with the proposals and look forward to presenters sharing evidence-based practices with a delivery that will engage participants in fruitful discussions and provide meaningful content to advance institutional efforts. If you have any questions about your submission, please email [email protected].
Program Types
- General Interest (50 minutes): The most common educational opportunity at the virtual conference, usually consists of the presentation of a program, data, research, or theoretical concept, followed by audience questions and a brief discussion.
- Learning Lab (30 minutes): Designed to give participants actionable ideas and tools to take back to their campus. Presenters will share ideas for 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for questions.
- Scholarly Paper (60 minutes): Provide an opportunity for presenters (usually 1-2 scholarly papers are presented in a panel setting) to briefly share a synopsis and key findings from scholarly papers as part of a 60-minute education session. Scholarly papers often focus on results of quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods studies or report the findings of studies that use historical and philosophical methods.
- Poster Session: Designed for sharing research or program evaluation. Participants will visually represent their data and present their content to conference participants.
- Roundtable Discussion (50 minutes): Less formal ways to engage other attendees around a central topic or program area. Roundtable discussion sessions will be held concurrently throughout the event in a specific space. Facilitators usually provide a brief introduction to a topic (5-10 minutes) and then lead a discussion with several prompting questions. Please note: Roundtables are meant to generate discussion and engagement amongst participants, there will be NO A/V used in any roundtable sessions. This includes no PowerPoint or similar presentations, audio or video clips, etc. No A/V will be provided or permitted for roundtable sessions.
- Extended Learning (75 minutes): Provide additional time for audience engagement or discussion. This format is also appropriate for panel discussions, skill demonstration, and practice, or multi-institutional case study presentations. There are a limited number of extended general interest session opportunities.
- Product Educational Session (50 minutes): Third-party organizations and companies have an opportunity to present relevant educational content to conference attendees. Presentations typically include institutional partners in the sharing of educational practices or technology.
- Pre-conference Workshop (Half-day, 3-hour): Offered before the beginning of the conference, half-day workshops are designed as highly specialized opportunities to discuss and engage in a specific topic or program. Half-day pre-conference workshops will require participants to pre-register for an additional fee.
- Pre-conference Workshop (Full-day, 6-hour): Full-day programs held prior to the conference. These events are usually coordinated directly with the applicable conference committee or a related NASPA constituent group. Full-day pre-conference workshops will require participants to pre-register for an additional fee.
- Meetings and Networking Events Space Request: NASPA Constituent Groups, Knowledge Communities, and/or Divisions are welcome to submit a space request for meetings, networking events, or receptions. Please note that space is limited at the conference venue and not all requests can be guaranteed a meeting space.
Conference Learning Outcomes & Themes

COVID Information
We have cultivated a shared knowledge across disciplines to craft NASPA’s COVID-19 mitigation framework creating the safest place-based community possible. The following information was developed based on CDC recommendations and NASPA’s experience successfully implementing placed-based meetings over the last several months. Please review the following to ensure you are ready to contribute to a safe NASPA Conferences on Student Success in Higher Education experience in Baltimore!
Vaccination Requirement:
In keeping with the Association’s duty to care and responsibility as host, NASPA leadership has decided that all participants at the in-person 2022 NASPA Conferences on Student Success in Higher Education, whether a presenter, attendee, exhibitor, staff, guest, or vendor will be required to be fully vaccinated. As of January 16, 2022, the CDC updated their Vaccines website to indicate the status of "Fully Vaccinated" and "Up To Date".
-
"Full vaccination" means that either 14 days have passed since receiving the second dose of FDA or WHO authorized (or emergency use authorized) double-dozed vaccines or single-dose vaccine. Proof of vaccination will be required to attend NASPA events.
-
"Up to Date" means a person has received all recommended COVID-19 vaccines, including any booster dose(s) when eligible. At this time, we are not requiring boosters of attendees.
For those individuals who are not vaccinated, you will be offered the option to register but you will be required to provide documentation of a negative PCR test no more than 72 hours prior to arrival in Baltimore.
We strongly encourage all attendees who are eligible to receive the COVID-19 Booster in addition to being fully vaccinated. NASPA is following the CDC definition of fully vaccinated for vaccination requirements, but we encourage individuals who are eligible to receive the booster prior to attending any NASPA event.
Note: At this time, testing is a permissible option, however, were a local, city, or state vaccination requirement be implemented, this would supercede NASPA’s current policy with all attendees required to be vaccinated.
Mask Requirement:
At this time, each municipality has different requirements for masks. NASPA will follow the requirements of the locality in which a meeting/event is taking place in regard to masks. However, all participants at NASPA events are strongly encouraged to wear procedure (a.k.a. surgical) masks with at least 3 layers of fabric, KN95, KF94s, or N95 masks during the event. The CDC updated their face coverings website on January 14, 2022. Cloth masks and Gaiters will not be accepted as facial coverings at NASPA events. Individuals may choose to wear cloth masks over a procedure mask, KN95, KF94, or N95, but a cloth mask alone will not be permitted.
To help evaluate your mask purchase, please use the CDC website on evaluating purchases of KN95, N95, and other masks.
Individuals who have a documented disability which precludes the wearing of a mask may request a modification to mask policies. Please visit the registration desk to discuss any modification(s) to the mask policy with NASPA Leadership.
Physical Distancing:
While many venues are not currently requiring physical distancing, NASPA will provide physically-distant seating and event space set-up to allow individuals who wish to physically distance while in sessions to do so comfortably. Additionally, to help attendees communicate their level of comfort in interacting with one another, NASPA will provide color-coded ribbons to all onsite attendees:
Red = Physical Distancing - Greet from Six Feet
Yellow= Elbows Only
Green = Handshakes and Hi-fives
The color will be written on the ribbon as well for individuals with any color-based accessibility needs.
Additional Information:
The COVID-19 global pandemic has remained fluid since its inception and as result, our protocols and mitigation tactics mirror this movement. For the most updated information on NASPA’s efforts to provide a safe place-based conference experience, please refer to the COVID Event Safety and Responsibility page. Thank you for being a part of the solution and ensuring our community cares for one another.
