Abstract
This qualitative study examines how professional associations in student affairs socialize graduate students and new professionals. Utilizing data from semi-structured interviews with 15 individuals who identify within this demographic, this article reveals how associations encourage new professionals and graduate students to get involved, build relationships in the field, and become lifelong learners. Findings from this study will be of particular interest to faculty members and supervisors working with graduate students and new professionals.
