ACPA - College Student Educators International, in its commitment to the advancement of the student affairs profession, recognizes the global dimensions of its work and the contributions of student affairs/student services practitioners and scholars throughout the world. While historically rooted in the evolution of the American higher education system, the Association seeks now to extend its efforts and services on behalf of and in collaboration with global colleagues to support the learning and educational experience of postsecondary/tertiary students wherever they are. Thus, ACPA - College Student Educators International is committed to a threefold strategy that furthers global relationships among student affairs/student services practitioners and scholars, advances a common understanding of our work, and supports the preparation and continuing development of colleagues who identify with this field.
