As Student Affairs professionals, we often find ourselves at the intersection of multiple roles. Given our focus on and work with students, advocacy work is part of our reality on campus; however, have you ever wondered what this looks like at the student affairs profession and public policy levels, and how you as a professional can take part? Join Julie Payne-Kirchmeier and Kelly Schaefer as they engage attendees about advocacy and public policy in our field.
