Benefits of Membership
Publications
Koinonia is a bi-annual publication that contains news and information about ACSD, book reviews written by ACSD members, and thought-provoking articles by student development professionals striving to integrate Biblical principles within the field of student affairs.
Growth is the official research journal of ACSD. This annual publication provides a forum for members to publish original research and gives members access to beneficial resource material intended to inform good practice.
Career Center
The Career Center provides a members-only job search bulletin on our website and at the Annual Conference. Members can search for existing positions, submit a position opening at their institution, or post their resume for others to review. This is an excellent resource for employers who are looking to hire highly qualified Christian student affairs professionals, as well as for candidates seeking positions in higher education.
Annual Conference
The Annual Conference will be held at Messiah College in Grantham, Pennsylvania June 7-10, 2010. Join us for a time of professional challenge, spiritual refreshment, fellowship, and fun. Keynote speakers will focus on Christian community from the individual, local, national, and global perspectives. Professional development workshops will focus on “best practices” in student affairs and the integration of Christian faith and the profession. Professional gatherings will provide opportunities to connect and network with others in your specific program area, such as Career Services, Counseling Services, Disability Services, Health & Wellness, Judicial Affairs, Orientation, Multicultural Affairs, Residence Life, Safety & Security, Student Activities, and Student Leadership.
Collaboratives
The Collaboratives are special interest groups in which members can connect with others with similar professional interests and experience. Collaboratives provide opportunities for the exchange of ideas through the use of online discussion threads, listserves, and publication opportunities, as well as face-to-face gatherings at the Annual Conference. Current Collaboratives include:
- Housing and Residence Life
- Multicultural Affairs
- Student Leadership Development
- New Professionals
- Geographically defined Collaboratives in Southern California, the Twin Cities in Minnesota and the Lake States/Central Indiana.
