Why should I join?

What's the purpose?
Established in 1970, South Carolina college and university professionals, faculty, and graduate students have turned to the South Carolina College Personnel Association (SCCPA) for professional development, networking opportunities, leadership experience, and information on the latest trends and issues in our field.
SCCPA’s mission is to support its members and other professionals who serve students in South Carolina higher education institutions. In turn, SCCPA derives from its members a shared commitment to help colleges and universities provide a campus environment that promotes academic achievement and personal growth and development for all college students.
