Two down, two to go

We're halfway through the fall ASGA conference schedule. DC and Chicago are done, with Dallas and Los Angeles coming up.

So far, our attendance numbers for all events are up over last year, which was our best year ever.

It's obvious that ASGA's reputation is growing and the "word-of-mouth" is spreading.

It's an exciting time for ASGA, as we're nearing 1,100 member institutions.

As executive director, my ultimate goal for membership has been 1,500. I predict that we'll pass that in two more years!

600 & Counting!

With seven days to go, ASGA just passed 600 registrants for the National Student Government Summit next Thursday through Sunday in Washington, D.C.

Last year's record turnout was 628 and that is definitely attainable with a week to go.

The National Student Government Summit is the largest and most helpful student government training conference in the nation. Students and advisors from all types and sizes of institutions attend-- about one third are private schools, one third community colleges, and another third public institutions. More than 110 institutions are registered, which is a record.

ASGA Invited to Campus Police National Summit

The John Hopkins University Division of Public Safety Leadership is working in a cooperative agreement with the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to explore the feasibility of developing a certification program for campus public safety officers.

JHU is holding a summit on September 26-28, 2011 with the project advisory panel and key educational officials to gain a broader perspective and insight on the feasibility of establishing a certification program for campus public safety officers.

Michael Johnson, Senate Speaker at Marist College, will be representing ASGA at the summit. Johnson is studying criminal justice and paralegal studies and has served as Chair of the Safety and Security Committee for the past year and one-half.
