When purpose and partnership align, transformation follows.
That is why I am honored to partner with the Southern Association for College Student Affairs (SACSA) in sharing the theme of the 2025 SACSA Conference: Shining Bright – 75 Years of Brilliance, Reflection and Strength.
This milestone represents decades of leadership, dedication, and transformation within the higher education community. It is a privilege to join an organization that continues to invest in the growth and success of those shaping the next generation of student leaders.
For seventy-five years, SACSA has demonstrated what it means to lead with purpose. The organization’s continued commitment to collaboration, research, and professional development has created opportunities for countless individuals to thrive. This year’s conference theme reminds us that true brilliance comes from reflection, shared strength, and a commitment to building brighter futures together.
The 2025 SACSA Conference will be held November 1–3, 2025, at The Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. It will bring together professionals, educators, and leaders who are passionate about creating impactful change in the lives of students. This gathering will provide space for dialogue, connection, and renewed purpose as we celebrate seventy-five years of progress and look toward the future.
I am proud to participate as Dr. Renee Sunday, MD, Guest Speaker for this important occasion. My session will explore leadership, purpose, and the strength found in reflection and community. I look forward to sharing insights that encourage each attendee to shine bright in their work and to lead with courage and compassion.
Partnerships like this remind us that progress grows from collaboration and shared vision. When we come together with unified purpose, our capacity to inspire and lead expands. SACSA’s legacy continues to highlight what is possible through service, excellence, and a steadfast dedication to developing leaders who make a lasting difference.
