Submit an Article

 

Most of our articles and commentaries are derived from NACAS membership but we accept material from any source that can build on the knowledge base for collegiate auxiliary services professionals. Since we are a non-profit association, we do not pay our contributing authors. However, we have never been wanting for interesting and instructive articles to publish, primarily due to the generosity, experience and enthusiasm of our members.

 

You can benefit as much by contributing to CS as you can from reading the articles it contains. We often hear from our contributors that the process of documenting their project was a valuable learning experience for them and gave them new insights.

 

We know our members are not professional writers so we do our very best to make the process of submitting an article as effortless as possible. We will accept and consider a finished manuscript with photos of your latest campus project, a fledgling story idea, or anything in between. We have the editorial expertise to turn your ideas into a feature article that will earn the respect of your colleagues (not to mention your institution's president). Send your idea, outline or manuscript to David Rood at david@nacas.org.
