Macey Edmondson, assistant dean for student affairs at the University of Mississippi School of Law, has been named president-elect of the National Association of Law Student Affairs Professionals (NALSAP). She will serve as president for the 2019-2020 academic year.
NALSAP is an organization for professionals who provide support to law students, which Dr. Edmondson co-founded in 2016. Over the past two years, the organization has grown to provide professional opportunities to more than 83 institutional members and 435 individual members representing 104 law schools across the country.
Previously, Dr. Edmondson served as program chair for the organization’s second annual conference. During her presidency, she plans to develop online resources and programing, create recurring communication updates among members, and find new ways for professionals to have their works published.
“I’m just so proud of NALSAP,” Dr, Edmondson said. “It’s amazing how fast our members have gravitated towards this organization. It’s a big resource for student affairs professionals in the law school community, and for our members to feel that I can help guide the organization is a huge honor.”
