The NASPA National Conference is finally coming back to the west coast! Woohoo! Washington DC was nice, Orlando was saved by Al Gore’s keynote, and I didn’t make it to Boston due to a lack of funds.
The 2009 NASPA National Conference is going to be held in Seattle, Washington. This is fantastic news for west coast student affairs practitioners who may have wanted to travel east but were unable to afford the costs of traveling across the country. I’ve actually never been to Seattle. Methinks that a trip prior to 2009 is in order.
Note: NASPA is the acronym for the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. Most of the higher education association acronyms sound like a sneeze. NASPA, ACUHO-I, NACADA, ACPA, ASJA et. al. Their names make me want to say “gesundheit“.

Never been to Seattle? Can this be true?
I feel pretty lucky that the year I am going to the Placement Exchange, it’s in my hometown, just a few hours away. Whew.
You haven’t been to Seattle yet Eric? You definitely need to get up there…and it’s so close!
I’m enjoying the blog (and technology) by the way!
