Historical note

Originally founded in 1954 as the Conference of Jesuit Student Personnel Administrators (CJSPA), under the umbrella of the Jesuit Educational Association (JEA). When the JEA was dissolved in 1970, the Conference became part of its successor, the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU). The Conference changed to its current name, the Jesuit Association of Student Personnel Administrators (JASPA) in 1981.

JASPA's membership includes administrators from the 28 Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States, plus affiliate members from other institutions. Through annual conferences and summer workshops, the organization supports professional development and collaboration amongst student personnel administrators working in Catholic higher education.
