All members of ACPA International residing in Illinois are automatically members ICPA. ACPA is the leading professional association for student affairs and higher education professionals, students, and faculty who work to boldly transform higher education. We have always allowed the future to lead us, and in turn have launched strategic plans focused on addressing the rapidly changing college environment, making justice a priority, centering the importance of development of the “total” person, nudging the profession forward with inclusive policies and leaders, and allowing our research and scholarship to shape the profession.
