Indiana Student Affairs Association (ISAA)

In 1992, Indiana College Personnel Association ceased operations, and for 9 years no formal meeting of Indiana student affairs professionals existed.  In 2002, another statewide organization was founded under the name of the Indiana Student Affairs Association (ISAA). The association was formed with the simple goal of bringing together student affairs professionals from across the state once a year for a fall meeting. The meeting gives individuals an opportunity for professional development, to discuss and learn about trends in higher education and student development especially as it pertains to our state, and to increase collaboration and innovation of new approaches to student services and learning through networking and focus groups.
