Welcome to student affairs voices from the field, the podcast where
we share your student affairs stories from fresh perspectives to
seasoned experts. This is season 10, continuing our season 9 theme
of On Transitions in Student Affairs. This podcast is brought to
you by NASPA, and I'm doctor Jill Creighton, she, her, hers, your

Hey, Chris.
Dr.
Christopher Lewis [00:00:24]:
Hey, Jill.
Dr. Jill
Creighton [00:00:24]:
Well, our finale plans have hit a bit of a transition, haven't
they?
Dr.
Christopher Lewis [00:00:30]:
Yeah. I guess, we are finishing off our season of transitions with
a transition as we move into a further transition of a new
season.
Dr. Jill
Creighton [00:00:38]:
So with that in mind, we know that we promised you a finale worth
waiting for. And I think, first of all, we're very sorry we're not
gonna be able to deliver. So we don't wanna lead you astray with
our promises for a big finale, but we do wanna promise you a couple
of bonus episodes for the summer, including a very special guest.
Chris, do you wanna tell us who's coming on?
Dr.
Christopher Lewis [00:00:57]:
You know, we're really excited to have doctor Amelia Parnell
joining us this summer as she transitions into the president of
NASPA role. And we've already reached out, talked to her. We're
getting a time with her very soon to be able to record an episode
to talk about where we're at as an association, but where we're
going in the future under her leadership.
Dr. Jill
Creighton [00:01:19]:
And with that in mind, a huge congratulations to Emilia. We could
not be more thrilled to be led by you going forward. You are going
to do an amazing job, and I just am so thrilled to be seeing you at
the helm of NASPA. With that in mind too, we also see Amelia's
former position is now posted. So if you are interested in becoming
the vice president for policy and research at NASPA, go check out
NASPA's career page. You can see the details of the job
description, the posting, and all of the relevant information. We
know that whomever comes into that role has some huge shoes to
fill, but we also know they're going to have amazing mentorship.
