ACHA is turning up the volume on student voices!
Our new Student Engagement Task Force is hard at work creating a tailored experience designed to help your students bridge the gap between the classroom and the professional field.
To ensure our association remains vibrant and forward-thinking, we are calling on our members to champion student participation. We’ve curated a list of activities at the annual meeting to help students navigate the ACHA community and find their professional home:
- Student welcome meeting
- A comprehensive listing of sessions and events of interest to students
- Student panel presentation
- Networking and mentoring opportunities open to students
More details are coming soon! In the meantime, we encourage you to support students from your institution to attend the annual meeting. Your mentorship and support are the most effective tools we have to grow our field.
For questions, please reach out to Erica Bumpurs or Tondra Moore via ACHA Connect.
