Welcome to Student Affairs Voices from the Field, the podcast where
we share your student affairs stories from fresh perspectives to
seasoned experts. Brought to you by NASPA, we curate free and
accessible professional development for higher ed pros wherever you
happen to be. This is season 11, the past, present, and future of
student affairs, and I'm doctor Jill Creighton, she, her, hers,
your essay Voices from the Field host. Happy New Year, Chris.
Christopher
Lewis [00:00:28]:
Happy New Year, Joe.
Jill Creighton
[00:00:29]:
Welcome to 2025. What a ride it has been. 2024 flew like that.
Christopher
Lewis [00:00:35]:
It truly did. I look back and I am still amazed that we're in 2025.
It definitely went by really, really fast with everything that
happened in the year, in the US, at least, in regards to the crazy
political environment. But but I'm excited about a new year.
Jill Creighton
[00:00:52]:
And with that new year, we thought a lot about the theme, and we
announced this actually at the beginning of season 11. So as we
enter season 12, because of the transition point we find ourselves
in as a profession, we wanted to continue to have this conversation
about the past, present, and future of student affairs. So as we
continue forward this season, we're gonna stick on that same theme,
but we hope to bring you some new perspectives on it. Hoping to
bring you some conversations from all over the world, some amazing
and insightful conversations from our annual conference coming up
in New Orleans. And as always, if you see either Chris or myself
wandering around that conference space, I know it's, you know, so 8
weeks from now, we would love to hear your voices. And as this
season arises, we also continue to want to hear from you if you
have guests or topic suggestions. There's so many stories in
student affairs that have yet to be told, and we want to feature
you. So, Chris, if someone would like to appear on our show, how
can they do that?
Christopher
Lewis [00:01:53]:
Easiest way to get on the show is to email us at savoices@naspa.org.
And as Jill just said, it is really exciting to be able to walk
around the conference and to be able to just talk with people and
to be able to get some of your own voices on the show. So you will
see myself, Jill walking around the conference. And if we ask you,
hey, will you lend your voice to an upcoming episode? Please say
yes and know that we're not just some strange people walking around
the conference recording voices, but we're actually collecting your
voice to be a part of that upcoming episode. So it is always
exciting to be able to meet people. And if you want to be on a
episode when we're in, you're going to be at the conference, you
can always reach out as well and we can find a time to be able to
connect and get your voice that way as well.
