Be Inspired • NASPA Annual Region I Conference • November 17-20, 2013 • Rockport, ME 1

Greetings!Welcome to Rockport, Maine and the beautiful Samoset Resort! I am delighted that you have chosen to join us for the 2013 NASPA Region I Conference. We hope you find opportunities to connect with colleagues and friends, share research and practices, and explore new ideas and innovations.

This week would not be possible without the hard work of the conference planning committee. Their dedication and commitment over the last eleven months has led to creative new initiatives, including a smartphone app for the conference, poster sessions for

the first time at Region I, five lunch-and-learn pre-conference sessions, and an offsite reception at the Farnsworth Museum. The programs chair, briana Sevigny, solicited over 135 program submissions, a new Region I record. We are proud to present over 50 educational sessions and 9 poster sessions covering a variety of balanced and diverse topics for professionals of all experience levels and functional areas.

I would like to welcome Dr. Robert Johnson, President of Becker College, to our conference. Dr. Johnson is a widely respected leader and educator who challenges his community to build upon the pillars of global citizenship: academic excellence, social responsibility, and creative expression. I am thrilled to have such an inspiring and gifted speaker open our conference.

Our conference will close with the voices of Dr. Elizabeth Allan, Dr. Cynthia Forrest, President Theodora Kalikow, and Dr. Corinne Kowpak – four incredible leaders from the state of Maine. I thank them for closing our conference with their words of wisdom and inspiration.

During our conference, I encourage you to take time to reflect on our work and profession. Personally, I have found our regional conference a great place to re-energize and continue the great work that we do. It is my hope that you are able to take that renewed energy and inspiration back to your campus to influence your students and colleagues. As we strive to improve ourselves, let us also strive to improve our communities and our world for all.

I hope you find your time here meaningful and well spent, and I thank you for your participation and support.

Enjoy the conference and our time together. “Be Inspired!”

Welcome to NASPA Region I’s 2013 Conference!

On behalf of NASPA Region I’s Advisory Board, I offer you a warm welcome to our annual gathering of colleagues and friends for first-rate professional development and networking, all presented by this dynamic association we value so highly. NASPA Region I is packed with talent, energy, and creativity, and I am delighted that here in “The Pine Tree State,” we have the

opportunity to showcase the people, programs, and initiatives that make NASPA, the Region, and the student affairs profession great. Congratulations to Greg Jones (Boston College) and his Regional Conference Committee for their success in carefully and thoughtfully developing these three remarkable days here at the Samoset Resort in Rockport, Maine.

During the conference, you will hear from an impressive array of leaders in higher education and student affairs. The program sessions all look rich and rewarding. Laura Wankel (Northeastern University), Chair of NASPA’s Board of Directors, is joining us here in Rockport. In addition to her distinguished career in the profession, Laura is the first colleague from Region I to lead the association since Jack Warner’s term in 1997-1998; we celebrate her leadership and her participation in the conference.

The support of our corporate sponsors allows us to offer you a conference of this caliber, so let me extend my sincere thanks to all our corporate sponsors for their generous support of NASPA Region I, and especially for the innovative products and services they provide to our campuses, our students, and our profession. During the conference, please be sure to visit our sponsors’ booths, introduce yourself, and pick up information to bring back to your home institutions.

While you are here, please make a point of talking with members of your Region I Advisory Board about ways that you can engage in the Region and its events. A first step is to “like” NASPA Region I at facebook.com/RegionI and to follow us on twitter @NASPA_R1.

If you are a newcomer to Region I and the regional conference, a special welcome to you! We have plenty of room in Region I for new talent, new energy, and new ideas. If you are a regular attendee here at the conference, may you have an especially valuable experience.

I look forward to meeting you during the conference and hearing your thoughts about ways that we on the Region I Advisory Board can best support your professional development. NASPA has enriched my professional life in countless ways, and I am proud of my involvement with the association. I hope the same is true for you. Enjoy your time in Rockport, and thank you for your support of NASPA. Regards,

16th Annual Silent AuctionThe largest fundraising event of NASPA Region I is once again taking place here at the regional conference. The auction has raised thousands of dollars since its inception, and its proceeds primarily support the annual SALT conference for undergraduate students. The auction also subsidizes the conference costs for recipients of the Catch a Rising Star, Richard F. Stevens Outstanding Graduate Student, and Richard F. Stevens Outstanding New Professional awards.

The conference committee is pleased to announce that three popular features from last year’s silent auction have returned. At the registration table, you will have the opportunity to purchase cutouts of stars and salt shakers to honor a fellow colleague. Be sure to take advantage of this unique way to say thank you! Secondly, the ‘Buy It Now’ Region I College Bookstore will be located in the Lighthouse Room off the hotel lobby. Here you will find all the donations received from New England collegiate bookstores, where t-shirts, jackets, and other paraphernalia will be available for immediate purchase. Lastly, you will also see the “Lunch with Legends” raffle table alongside the Auction, where you can purchase raffle tickets to win a chance to spend some quality time with one or more of our local legends. Each legend will share not only his or her expertise, but also a meal!

The conference committee hopes for an exciting and creative auction, and our goal is to raise $10,000 to support the future of our field. Please check out the various options, including the live auctions during the breaks. As we always say, bid high and bid often!

Guests wishing to utilize a gender-neutral bathroom may find one located on the Lobby Level. This restroom will be

marked for your convenience.

This book is printed on recycled paper using eco-friendly inks. If you do not

wish to keep your program book after the conference, please recycle

responsibly. Thanks!

The Senior Level Professional: Networking, Innovation, Inspiration, Rejuvenation Rockport

- David Zamojski, Assistant Dean of Students, Boston University

NASPA has introduced a new professional level to the options available on the member profile. The senior level is defined as a professional who reports to an Assistant or Associate Vice President or Chief Student Affairs Officer and has responsibility for the direction, oversight, and/or supervision of one or more student affairs functional areas and/or one or more professional staff members. The senior level professional traditionally has at least eight years of full-time professional employment. Join the conversation that began at last year’s Regional Conference in Mystic about ways the region can effectively meet the training and development needs of senior professionals. This interactive experience will explore key questions facing senior level professionals in student affairs: In what ways can we support each other? How can we be strategic and visionary in our roles? Where can we find rejuvenation beyond the Regional Conference and the NASPA Annual Conference? What could be developed that isn’t already out there? The conversation will be facilitated by senior level professionals in the region and is designed to begin building a network of senior level professionals and develop a vision for senior level professionals’ training and development in the region.
