NACA® Institutes

Update on 2021 NACA^® Institutes

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many of our in-person NACA®️ Institutes will be postponed for this summer. We are grateful to the many volunteers who have worked diligently to prepare for these programs and saddened the Institutes will not occur this summer. NACA's two partner institutes, the Student Organizations Institute (SOI, hosted with ACUI) and the National Leadership Symposium (NLS, hosted with NCLP), will be happening virtually this summer. SOI will be held June 22-24 and more information can be found here. More information regarding NLS will be coming soon.

While we are disappointed in this outcome, we are excited to announce the NACA® Summer Series, which provides campus professionals and students with live virtual educational opportunities to hone skills and add to their résumés, will be back for 2021. Learn More
