Updates to the NAASS Summit, Nov. 8-12, 2021 

• The 2021 NAASS Virtual Summit will be entirely online. Planning is underway to cover critical topics that impact your summer programming. 
• A unique aspect of this event will be the chance to invite colleagues from your institution to attend with you. Instead of just an individual membership, we also have an institutional registration. For $150, you will be able to invite up to ten members from your institution.
• We hope you will see this as an opportunity to share the resources of NAASS and highlight the work of summer sessions!
• Individual registration for NAASS members is $75, with non-member registration priced at $150. 
• Additionally, NAASS has secured a keynote speaker for Summit - a press release with more details will be shared with the NAASS community in July. 
• Information about the program and registration will be announced soon on this page.

  • At the 1997 NAASS Annual Conference, Ronald Wasserstein delivered a presentation titled “What Every President and Every Chief Academic Officer Should Know about College and University Summer Sessions."  Loy Lytle and Bill Kops, longtime NAASS members and contributors, revisit Wasserstein’s presentation and subsequent paper.  How has the landscape changed in the intervening 24 years?  How have recent events affected the role of summer terms at colleges and universities?  Lytle and Kops offer their own insights on these and other questions in What Every President and Every Chief Academic Officer Should Know about College and University Summer Sessions—Redux.
