90: The State of Higher Education Student Affairs - with Dr. Kevin Kruger, President, NASPA

In this episode of The EdUp Experience, we talk to Dr. Kevin Kruger, the President of the National Association for Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA), the body representing Student Affairs professionals at every level.  In this timely and important conversation, Kevin talks to us about the state of student affairs across college campuses given the pandemic and the exhaustion student affairs professionals have been feeling.  We discuss different operating models, why student affairs may see cuts with declining enrollment and the fact that spring is right around the corner.

Prior to his role as president, Dr. Kruger worked for 18 years as the associate executive director and served as the chief operating officer (COO) and chief financial officer (CFO) for NASPA. He has held a range of student affairs positions at Southern Methodist University and the University of Maryland.
