Commission for Student Involvement Listserv

Did you ever need information on a student activities program or want to chat about earth-shattering research and trends in campus activities? Thanks to technology, you can now interact with other student activities professionals through an Internet discussion group sponsored by Commission for Student Involvement. The list serves as a provider of information for the Commission as well as an information source and discussion list for topics and areas of interest such as:

Some discussions in the past have included advisor training programs, student fees, student government elections, recent case law, co-curricular transcript programs, organization registration, student union expansion and more! Anyone may post questions for discussion or ask for assistance in a particular area of student activities.

Best/Powerful Practices

As Commission for Student Involvement continues to grow and serve our members of American College Personnel Association, we would like to offer the Ideas for Good Practice Manual. This manual serves as a guide to new ideas in student activities, leadership programs, theme celebrations, and community service. The goal of this program is to provide our members with new innovative ideas.

The areas of program ideas are: student activities/programming, theme celebrations, retreats, advisor initiatives, faculty/student collaborative events, leadership programs, publications, and research. Click below to download:
