NAPAHE Featured Testimonial
Fully half of my 38 year career at Augustana has been in the President's Office, and there's no way I would have made it this long, and with this much fulfillment, without NAPAHE. From my first conference in 2006 I developed a taste for our organization's secret sauce: useful professional development combined with essential community. NAPAHE not only helped my own development, it helped me become an ambassador for the work we do at campuses all around the world.
Even as an 'old salt,' I've turned to NAPAHE when I needed guidance on searches, transitions, and finding my role in helping make my campus a healthier community. NAPAHE continues to teach me. Best of all has been the privilege of watching younger colleagues spread their wings in this organization and go on to become thought leaders in higher education.
