About us

We, the student development professionals who administer the provision of student development programmes in the Post School Education and Training (PSET) sector, are committed to identifying with practices that will enhance the stature of our profession. To this end, the National Association for Student Development Professionals (NASDEV) was formed as an  endeavour of the PSET sector to collectively craft a student development practice agenda, capacity building and professionalization of student affairs.
