Past JASPA Presidents

Past JASPA Presidents
As with any team, organization, or division people need leadership.  The women and  men listed below are not only leaders on their respective campuses, but they have helped make JASPA an engaging, challenging organization with which Jesuit Student Affairs work may continue to grow and prosper.  Both lay persons and Jesuits have held this office--keeping the Ignatian vision alive in enriching the development of students.  On a historical note, the position was referred to as Chairman in the early years of the organization.   One may also notice that Rev. Yanitelli, S.J. held office as the first JASPA President and he is also the only religious person to hold the position of President within NASPA (National Association of Student Personnel Administrators).
