SUSDA Matters! 
Graduate students in the Student Development Administration program are all a part of the student-led group: Seattle University Student Development Association (SUSDA)! The organization strives to develop community, provide professional development opportunities and advocate on behalf of the SUSDA community to the academic program, College of Education and university. There is a nine-person executive team (see list below) that manages events and programs (see list below) throughout the academic year. All SDA students are welcome to attend all events and programs! SUSDA strives to partner with SDA faculty, the Division of Student Development staff, the Graduate Student Council and local community resources and businesses. For information on current SUSDA activities, check out the website/blog and calendar or contact the 2013-14 chair, Keisha Jackson. Current SDA Students can get up-to-date information by joining the SUSDA Community Facebook Group. SDA Alumni can stay connected via the SUSDA Alumni Network Facebook Group.
