Join the Consortium for conversations on navigating queer and trans equity work in this political moment. With the erasure of LGBTQIA2S+ programs and services, the closure of gender and sexuality centers, and the backlash against QT resource practitioners, we must shift how we support queer and trans communities. In this session, we explore how higher education professionals can re-imagine our roles, provide support for our campus communities and each other, re-craft and redistribute resources, and adapt our strategies for advocacy.

This gathering brings together Indigenous practitioners working in Student Affairs, whether from Indigenous units or elsewhere in their institutions, to explore current opportunities and challenges facing Indigenous students, staff and faculty. This session offers an opportunity for Indigenous practitioners and scholars at all career stages to connect, learn from each other and reflect on the work that has been done and the work still to be done.
In this day-long pre-convention workshop, participants will spend time developing a manuscript submission for About Campus, ACPA's scholarly magazine. The workshop is designed to help participants begin crafting a manuscript that addresses a topic of interest to them while also speaking to the aims and scope of About Campus as a scholarly magazine. Workshop participants need not have published previously, nor do they need to come with something drafted; the workshop has been designed for all who would like to participate.
This interactive workshop guides participants in designing comprehensive international student programming—from pre-orientation and peer mentoring to DEI initiatives, community building, and graduation. Using the “I–You–We” framework, we explore holistic, equity-driven practices rooted in storytelling and international student–centered design. Drawing on examples from a large public university and a small liberal arts college, participants will engage in collaborative planning and leave with practical tools, adaptable strategies, and deeper understanding of how to design culturally sustaining systems that foster belonging on campus.
This session explores The Magic of S.A.M.S., a groundbreaking collection of narratives from mothers working in higher education. Through powerful storytelling, the session invites participants to examine the lived experiences of student affairs professionals navigating motherhood, institutional inequities, and identity. Attendees will gain insights into how inclusive policy, community care, and resilience can transform campus culture for working parents. Join this reflective and action-oriented session to imagine a more equitable and supportive higher education landscape.
Many student affairs leaders are deeply committed to equity, yet struggle to lead effectively and consistently in the toughest of moments. There are many barriers to transformational change. Taking transformative action for inclusion takes more strategy and nuance than ever. Participating in this session will help leaders move from good intentions to transformative action. The facilitators will briefly explore personal foundations and equity leadership frameworks, helping you begin to put all this into practice for transformative action.
