Student personnel administrators include a variety of professionals, all centered on service to students: recruitment officers, admissions directors, financial aid officers, counseling staff, career services staff, housing staff, registrars, and deans of students, among others. These specialists benefit from sharing best practices and peer networking through their participation in the Student Personnel Administrators' Network (SPAN). Engage ATS (an interactive online community for those who serve at ATS member schools), annual conferences, webinars, and other resources cover topics such as administrative structures in various institutional settings, vocational identity, spiritual formation, seminary community, and position nomenclature. If you haven’t already, please visit Engage ATS and join the “Student Personnel Administrators (SPAN)” community to begin connecting with colleagues and to stay up to date on the latest SPAN news.
