Welcome to Student Affairs Month where we celebrate being student affairs professionals! This year, the theme for #CSAM20 is the Transformation of the Higher Education and Student Affairs. Throughout the history of higher education and student affairs, we have witnessed periods of incredible change and transformation for our students, campus communities, and the world. We are undoubtedly at another period of incredible transformation this year as we experience a global pandemic, movements for racial justice and equality, and an ever-changing landscape of public policy and law. Feel free to use the graphic attached for social media. This helps us not only celebrate our careers, but also recruit potential students and graduate assistants to our Student Affairs in Higher Education (SAHE) program.
