Happy New Year, SACSA!

I hope that you had a restful and refreshing holiday break and are renewed as you begin the spring 2018 semester. Your SACSA Leadership Team is hard at work on our goals and priorities for 2018. We will spend February 7-9 in Myrtle Beach, SC for our annual mid-year meeting where we will have the opportunity to view the conference hotel and continue our discussion on how to best move SACSA forward. In the February SACSAlert, we will reveal some new and exciting marketing and communication tools for SACSA. So, be on the lookout for that announcement!

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. states that "everybody can be great because everybody can serve... you only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." The work of our beloved Association could not be done without the dedication of our wonderful volunteers who serve tirelessly. Thank you all for your grace, love, service, and commitment to the Southern Association for College Student Affairs!

Yours in Service,  

Tanisha 

P.S. Do not forget to Save the Date and make preparations to Meet Us at the BEACH on November 3 - 5, 2018 in Myrtle Beach, SC where we will be Building ways to Educate, Advocate, Cultivate, and Heighten our purpose in Student Affairs.
