ACPA - College Student Educators International Partnership Announces Where Respect Happens Campaign for Campuses

Washington D.C., May 24, 2017 -- The Student Affairs in Higher Education Consortium (SAHEC) announces the launch of an international campaign, Where Respect Happens, for professionals, students and community members on or connected to college and university campuses. http://www.myacpa.org/where-respect-happens

Where Respect Happens t-shirts available

The campaign communicates that Student Affairs Professionals are committed to student learning and development, and recognition that self-respect and respect for others are at the core of that process.  Where Respect Happens reminds us all of the critical importance of respect in civil society.

Dr. Cindi Love, Executive Director of ACPA—College Student Educators, the developer of the concept for the campaign, said, “We cannot think of a more important time for a message of respect to go viral in the world.

SAHEC member associations are dedicated to modeling and co-creating campus environments Where Respect Happens, one person at a time. Research clearly indicates that students and professionals who feel respected are more engaged. They are more likely to share their ideas, contribute their thoughts, and work collaboratively, persist, graduate, and obtain gainful employment.  http://www.crlt.umich.edu/gsis/p3_1

The recent Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB) statement encourages campus leaders to engage in new ways regarding civility, inclusion, and diversity.  We believe Where Respect Happens is a great tool at the right time for these leaders.”
