SA Voices From The Field Is Back For Season 15

NASPA's Student Affairs Voices from the Field Podcast is back for its fifteenth season, and hosts Dr. Jill Creighton and Dr. Christopher Lewis are shining a spotlight on two vital themes: the many pathways a student affairs career can take, and the importance of well-being for professionals in the field.

This season's central message is clear—career advancement isn't just about climbing the ladder. As Dr. Jill Creighton highlights, growth can mean leading from your current position, embracing lateral opportunities, or redefining success on your own terms. These conversations encourage professionals to consider fulfillment, impact, and personal satisfaction as key measures of progress.

Equally important is the focus on well-being. Dr. Christopher Lewis stresses the need for both practical professional development and support for mental and emotional health. The show promises insights and strategies for finding balance and sustaining passion throughout a career.

Listeners will hear from leaders like Dr. Monica Nixon and learn about resources such as NASPA's new CAP initiative. Above all, the podcast invites listeners to reflect, connect, and chart authentic, sustainable career journeys—making this a must-listen season for anyone in student affairs
