Overview

By registration; This year’s Student Personnel Administrators’ Network (SPAN) conference—Partners in Possibility: Building a Stronger Future Together through Collaboration—invites all those in student-focused roles to come explore together the potential and possibilities that grow as we build collaborative relationships and strategic partnerships to further our work in an uncertain world.

Join recruiters, admissions directors, financial aid officers, counseling staff, career services personnel, housing directors, registrars, deans of students, and more from across the ATS membership for an exciting event filled with dynamic plenary sessions, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops designed to help you connect with peers and grow the skills you need for effective service in your institution and community.
