2026 NASPA VPSA Winter Convening

December 9-11, 2026 • Amelia Island, FL

What to Expect

NASPA is committed to providing an opportunity for this VPSA learning community to address the most timely and relevant topics, so the final agenda will emerge with input by program registrants as The Summit approaches. We can expect that topics like workforce and workplace challenges, student and staff mental health concerns, the complex policy landscape and its impact on our work, student activism and campus unrest, everchanging student needs precipitated by demographic shifts, the benefits and drawbacks of emerging technology, including AI, and college access and affordability – to name a few – will continue to be top of mind for VPSA attendees and engaged during the program. We expect that approximately:

One-third of our time together will involve structured, interactive sessions led by seasoned presenters on topics that are highly relevant for participants

One-third will be spent in semi-structured, facilitated and collaborative engagement opportunities on topics largely suggested by participants prior to and during the program

One-third, usually over meals, will allow for unstructured interaction and the development of a reliable, go-to peer network
