About
The NASPA Region IV-East Conference Committee invites you to join us in Cleveland, Ohio! The 2024 NASPA Region IV-E Conference is a three-day in-person gathering of higher education professionals who come together to reflect, learn, network, and be inspired.
This year’s conference theme is "Bridging Boundaries: Connecting the Past to Higher Education's Future." The theme focuses on bridging historical legacies with contemporary challenges in higher education. It explores how student affairs professionals serve as bridges between different campus communities and support students in navigating the complexities of college life, drawing inspiration from Cleveland's Hope Memorial Bridge and its significance as a symbol of connection and hope.
Through inspiring keynote presentations, thought-provoking educational sessions, and numerous opportunities to re-connect with colleagues and make new friends, the 2024 NASPA Region IV-E Conference will be a premier, future-focused professional development experience.
Land Acknowledgment
The 2024 IV-East Conference Committee honors and acknowledges the original stewards of the land where the conference is taking place including the Cayuga, Delaware, Miami, Odawa, Ojibwe, Potawatomi, Seneca, Shawnee, and Wyandotte, as well as the unnamed tribes and tribal members who currently reside in Northeast Ohio.
Message from the Co-Chairs
The NASPA Region IV-E Conference Committee is excited to welcome you to Cleveland, Ohio October 26-29, 2024 for a phenomenal conference. We look forward to sharing new ideas, past successes, and future challenges as we explore our theme Bridging Boundaries: Connecting the Past to Higher Education’s Future. The art deco figures featured in our theme represent the eight guardian figures that adorn the Hope Memorial Bridge in Cleveland and were designed to represent the progress of ground transportation.
The stone guardians can also remind us of the progress and important role of higher education despite the challenges we current manage and lead on our campuses. Our speakers, programs and networking will offer opportunities for us to reflect and discuss many of the issues of our everyday work. There is much to celebrate, reflect upon, and plan for as we prepare for the next academic year and we hope you will join us at the Region IV-E Conference in Cleveland, Ohio October 26-29, 2024!
