The California organization for student affairs professionals. CCPA is a student affairs association in California.

All of the benefits you enjoy through your membership in ACPA are even further tailored to your needs by our focus on California institutions, populations, and educational policy. Professional development is vital to keeping student affairs and student service professionals current on trends and issues throughout higher education. CCPA is dedicated to local, in-state networking, affordable professional development, and advocacy for social justice and equity in higher education.

🎗️Support for CCPA Members Affected by California Wildfires🎗️

Dear Colleagues,

We wanted to acknowledge that many of our CCPA members and their families are being impacted by the wildfires of Southern California.

In the spirit of support, we wanted to provide the following information pages that offer resources and support for those directly impacted.

https://wildfirerecoverycaloes.ca.gov/

https://www.nbclosangeles.com/local-2/free-resources-los-angeles-wildfires-2025-discounts/3598751/

We also recognize that many CCPA members may be viewing this from afar and would like to help. In that spirit, UCLA has provided a series of locations (https://newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/how-you-can-help-those-impacted-by-the-wildfires) where individuals can provide financial support.

We hope you will contact us if there is anything we can do to support you in these difficult times. We are in this together.

Sincerely,

Dennis F. McIver, Ph.D.
President

Samantha Bautista
