Letter from the Vice President for Membership and Communication

Greetings,

Thank you for visiting NAASS.org for more information on the North American Association of Summer Sessions. If you are already a member, we are grateful that you continue to invest your time and resources in sharing best practices in summer and special sessions.

If you have not yet become a member of NAASS, we hope that as you explore this website and learn more about who we are, you consider becoming part of this organization that connects hundreds of colleges and universities throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Some of the many benefits that are exclusive to NAASS members include:

  • Summer Academe”, a professional journal published jointly by NAASS and AUSS
  • Member registration rates for NAASS Annual Conferences
  • NAASS Webinars that provide valuable resources on a variety of topics within summer and special sessions programming
  • NAASS monthly digital newsletters
  • A network of university administrators across North America who work directly in summer and special sessions

As a committee, our top three priorities for 2020 include:

  1. Continue to build a robust social media presence, with posts on the latest from NAASS on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as well as developing a professional network through LinkedIn.
  2. Grow the use of internal communications that promote member mentorship in the form of webinars and monthly digital newsletters.
  3. Organize the membership database and identify possible areas of growth through recruitment.

For questions about our committee or about NAASS membership, please contact jacob.wierson@slu.edu.

Don’t forget to connect with NAASS on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. We look forward to serving as your resource for all membership and communication needs.

Sincerely,

Jacob Wierson
