2024 Silent Auction

NACADA will host a Silent Auction at the Annual Conference October 27-30 in Pittsburgh, PA. All proceeds from the auction will be used to fund scholarships to NACADA events in 2025. We hope this will be a great way for people to mingle, bid on some great gifts, and support those who are pursuing career goals in the field of academic advising.

Donating items prior to the conference helps to enhance the marketing and organization of the silent auction. Please complete the form above, if you have any questions please email Michele at [email protected].
