The Division of Student Affairs at the University of Michigan is pleased to announce calls for presentations and panels for the Ninth Annual Student Affairs Research Symposium: Getting to Nine on 16 May 2012. The 2012 Student Affairs Research Symposium invites presentations from staff, students, and faculty nationwide on topics related to issues of theory to practice in our work with students. This year, we extend that collaboration to include initial work about accreditation, in order to share research and dilemmas. We strive to build a true dialogue around the application of theory to practice, and the ways that practice shapes theory.
