 NASPA presentersCampus Life Team at NASPA. Four Campus Life professionals partnered with a former Campus Life colleague to deliver a presentation at the NASPA Annual Conference in Los Angeles in March. The session, “Infusing Intersectionality into Queer Advocacy & Support at PWIs,” focused on predominantly white institutions (PWIs) and provided “examples of successful practices that center intersectionality in pursuit of just and equitable environments, particularly for queer/trans students.” Presenters included DeLa Dos, Megan Pendleton, Malcolm Robinson, Danielle Bruce Steele, and former Campus Life employee, Aysha Dos. According to its website, NASPA is “the leading association for… the student affairs profession,” with “15,000 members in all 50 states, 25 countries, and 8 U.S. territories.” Above, from left: DeLa Dos, Pendleton, Robinson, Aysha Dos, and Steele.
