Latest News from the NASPA AVP Steering Committee
AVP or "Number Two"
January 21, 2020
To that end, the NASPA AVP Cohort Connections, a new initiative put forward by the AVP Steering Committee has had a strong start with over 100 folks signed up to participate. Several cohorts connected and virtually met during the fall. Cohorts will continue to meet in the spring semester and we hope to get folks together at one of the many AVP meet and greet sessions during the 2020 NASPA Annual Conference. Information on participating and signing up to become part of an AVP Cohort will be made available in the coming weeks. In the meantime, make sure that you have scheduled time to attend and participate in AVP-specific program sessions and social mixers at the 2020 NASPA Conference.
