A reflection on
IASAS membership from
Leandro A. Loyola, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, Department of Management and Organization
Ramon V. Del Rosario College of Business,
De La Salle University, Philippines
Why are you a member of IASAS and how have you benefited from membership in the organization?
I have been an IASAS member for seven years and have been closely involved now with the group as its Regional Director for Asia. I became a member because I served as a leader and manager of the Student Affairs and Services office and wanted to expand my network with fellow practitioners worldwide. My engagement with IASAS allowed me to grow professionally through their professional development programs. I was able to establish networks and linkages with fellow SAS practitioners from different parts of the world. It also allowed me to gain access to resources provided by the association that is relevant to the advocacy for the field.

​
What drew you to a career in student services?
I was drawn to pursue a career in student affairs because of my passion to help students succeed and thrive, I enjoy working with young adults and have a strong desire to make a positive impact on their lives, hoping that later on, they will also do the same and be able to make a difference in the world. I also have had positive experiences with mentors, advisors, and other student affairs professionals during my college years and in the duration of my career and I want to pay it forward by helping students navigate the challenges of college life. In addition, I believe that my personal qualities, beliefs, and advocacies are directly related to the goals of the practice most especially in creating welcoming and inclusive campus communities where everyone feels valued and supported. Overall, I find the career incredibly rewarding knowing that my passion for helping students succeed can create a positive change in the world.
