Assignment task:
General Instructions:
Identify both the national professional association AND a regional association (i.e., Southeast, Mid-South, etc.) in your Student Affairs Concentration Area and demonstrate your knowledge of the organizations through website research. Do NOT use NSAPA or ACPA, as these are broad national professional organizations that cover all areas of student affairs. Need Assignment Help?
You should obtain the following information on each organization:
- Name of organization
- Website address
- Name and dates of the upcoming or recent conference(s), including the focus of the conference(s)
- Benefits of organizational membership (i.e., job opportunities, professional development, networking, etc.)
- Any related publications (journals, reports, newsletters, etc.)
- Membership dues information
- Any other pertinent information
Create a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation consisting of a maximum of 7 lines of text per slide (this is to prevent "information overload" on slides). Use 20-point font or larger for readability. Remember that the purpose of a PowerPoint presentation is not to use lots of text but to use bullet points and graphics to convey information.
Note: Address each of the organizations separately in the presentation beginning first with the national organization and then the regional organization. Do not address both simultaneously to aid in the clarity of the content in the presentation.
SA501 Graduate Students: Include 8-10 slides in the presentation. Graduate-level presentations should contain more content-rich information.
SAL401 Undergraduate students: Include 6-7 slides in the presentation.
Format guidelines:
- Develop the presentation to be delivered to an audience of graduate students in Student Affairs. The presentation should be creative and visually appealing (i.e., incorporating images, pictures, etc.).
- Grades will be based on the degree to which the information above is covered as well as how attractive and engaging the slides are, including the use of graphics.
- The presentation should be well organized.
- Use proper grammar (i.e., correct spelling, proper sentence structure, correct punctuation, etc.) in creating the text for the slides. Points will be deducted for each APA, grammatical, and typographical error.
