NASPA Region VI Latinx Knowledge Community
NASPA is the professional home for student affairs, connecting over 15,000 higher education leaders dedicated to student success. Through programs, research, and community, NASPA empowers professionals to champion equity, innovate services, and lead with courage—especially in support of historically underrepresented students.
In April 2025, CareerConfidence facilitated an educational workshop for the NASPA Region VI Latinx Knowledge Community to support new professionals as they prepare to launch their full-time careers in student affairs:
Claiming Our Worth: Negotiating with Confidence as Latinx Professionals in Student Affairs
This session empowered participants to approach negotiation as a vital form of self-advocacy—rooted in sustainability, identity, and confidence. Through culturally responsive strategies and shared storytelling, attendees explored how to navigate job offers, advocate for flexibility and resources, and challenge the internal and external barriers that often make negotiation feel out of reach. The goal of this session was to affirm each participant’s value and equip them with practical tools to confidently claim their worth in every stage of their professional journey.
