What are collaboratives?

ACSD provides special interest groups for members to connect called Collaboratives. We believe that these help provide our membership with:

• Increased access points for members to connect,
• More frequent communication of current issues or concerns affecting the profession, and
• Additional opportunities for professional development.

Collaborative groups enable association members to provide relevant resources and discuss issues affecting a particular campus or the field of student affairs in general.

The Collaboratives model promotes professional growth by allowing members to more effectively work in partnership with each other.  As our association continues to grow, U.S. as well as international members who share similar professional roles or interests have the ability to enhance the exchange of ideas by offering more opportunities to connect in a technological way, through the use of discussion threads, listserves, and publication opportunities.
