what is NUFP?

[NUFP stands for NASPA Undergraduate Fellows Program]

What is NASPA? // The NASPA mission is "to be the principal source for leadership, scholarship, professional development, and advocacy for student affairs." 

So what is NUFP? // NUFP is a mentoring program for undergrad students who are interested in exploring the student affairs/higher education field. The mission is to increase the number of "historically disenfranchised and underrepresented professionals in student affairs and/or higher education."  

But basically, I see this as an opportunity to broaden my understanding of Student Affairs, learn what exactly it means to be a professional in this field from inspirational mentors, and have guidance in figuring out the rest of my life. I feel like my network of support and opportunity grows everyday. There's so much to learn and I'm ready to do it.
