Sponsorship


Join Region II higher education leaders and innovators in New York City this summer. By committing to sponsorship, your company will gain exposure to representatives from 100+ institutions and 300+ dedicated Student Affairs professionals and graduate students at the annual Region II Conference, and an opportunity to connect, learn, and grow while reaffirming a shared commitment to student success.
Our sponsors are offered a unique opportunity to align your brand with the important work being done to support students' growth, wellness, and academic achievement. With tailored packages for maximum exposure, your organization can connect directly with those shaping the policies, programs, and technologies that impact student life.
Why Sponsor?
Sponsoring the NASPA Region II Conference is a great way to increase your organization’s visibility, connect with student affairs professionals, and demonstrate your support for higher education and student success. Your sponsorship not only helps reduce conference registration costs for attendees but also fosters meaningful relationships with higher education institutions. It provides valuable opportunities to engage with participants, showcase your programs and services, and be recognized as a key partner in advancing student success.
