NACA Comes to You: Bring Leadership Training to Your Campus

Our Campus-Based Institutes program provides all the valuable content, connection, and professional development of a NACA Institute at your own campus without the extra time and expense of travel.

NACA Institutes bring students and campus professionals together for in-person experiential learning and leadership development, helping participants build skills, strengthen connections, and create campus communities where everyone belongs.

Building on the success of our recent pilot at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, we are excited to share the launch of our Campus-Based Institutes program - providing all the valuable content, connection, and professional development of a NACA Institute at your own campus without the extra time and expense of travel. Institute topics include Student Government or Programming. 

Whether you're seeking training for your campus or multiple campuses across your system or nearby, Campus-Based Institutes provide a convenient, customizable opportunity to build leadership, strengthen connections, and foster a stronger campus community. 

Past NACA Institute Participants Say... 

  • "We were able to have real conversations about the issues affecting our campuses, share ideas, and offer best practices to assist in moving our SGA initiatives forward." 
  • "... a great way for our student leaders to meet with people in similar roles, and talk about ways they can improve."
  • "All the topics were excellent... there was something for everyone."
  • "Everything we learned was really helpful and it was nice to be able to apply it to our programming board immediately!"
  • "I loved table sessions where we could focus on topics specific to our role or something we struggle with at our own schools."
  • "I loved my experience and I think everyone who attended gained not just knowledge, but connections with others."
  • "... a comfortable environment where I could ask questions, share ideas, and have meaningful conversations with other advisors facing similar opportunities and challenges."
