The NASPA Faculty Fellows group was established in 2002 to provide consultation and contributions to NASPA in the following areas: Direct policy input on such issues as quality assurance in student affairs, diversity, and graduate preparation; Promote scholarship as part of the professional responsibility for all faculty and practitioners; and Provide direction concerning NASPA research priorities and initiatives. The Faculty Fellows group is comprised of 12 faculty members, each appointed to a 3-year term. Terms are staggered, with only four fellows being appointed each year. Of the four members appointed each year, one is a full professor, two are associate professors, and one is an affiliate/adjunct faculty member. If possible,one Fellow will be a Vice President of a Community College who also teaches in a preparation program.
