NAGAP

Membership in NAGAP provides an opportunity to network with professional colleagues at all sizes and types of institutions: large and small, public and private, secular and non-secular.

The annual conference, development institutes, membership directory, email newsletter, Perspectives journal, mentor program, and chapter affiliations all help facilitate communication among members.

Also, the admissions professionals had a desire to create a unified schedule of graduate fairs for the Northeastern region.

-Summer-Fall 1987—The group held a second meeting and NEAGAP (New England Association of Graduate Admissions Professionals) was born.

With the assistance of Peterson's Guides, Inc., the fledgling association also published and mailed its first newsletter, which became a journal three years later.

-June 1993—The first annual Calendar of Graduate and Professional School Fairs was distributed in paper form to all NAGAP members.

-April 2005—The Executive Professional Development Workshop was reorganized into a NAGAP's first one-day, topic-oriented, pre-conference session.

-June 2006—To better serve its large membership, NAGAP hired an association management company and opened its first executive office in Lenexa, Kansas.
