Academy of Senior Professionals

WELCOME

The Academy of Senior Professionals (ASP) at Southern Nazarene University is a community of adults from various professional backgrounds who join with others in the realization of personal shared goals entailing various intellectual, cultural, spiritual and service activities. 

The organization’s events include monthly luncheons, book discussions, and other activities including attendance at university sporting and fine arts functions.

The rewards of social interaction, continuing education, and creative self-expression can be obtained through work and leisure in this professional society that is closely related to an institution of higher education. 

The ASP welcomes individuals of all ethnic and religious backgrounds who have matured in their professions and/or expertise and would like to participate with other mature adults who have common interests.

“ASP introduced me to a jewel in my ‘back yard’ in Bethany by the name of SNU. Since moving to Bethany I would drive by the campus and wonder, ‘How do I get connected to SNU without becoming a student or employee?’ ASP was that invitation.”

Genese Gunter

“I’ve made new friends at ASP. I’ve attended musical concerts of ASP members. I’ve volunteered with fellow ASP members to greet and usher at spring graduation. I’ve taken on some projects that got me out of my comfort zone. I’ve grown as a person. I cherish the memories made with this wonderful family by the name of: ACADEMY OF SENIOR PROFESSIONALS.”

Genese Gunter

“We enjoy the fellowship at ASP meetings and the food is very good. The speakers are informative and challenging. Let’s keep the Academy of Senior Professionals going strong!”

Don and Linda Carley

“The ASP is a place where we exercise our hearts, our minds, and our souls.”

“I’ve met some of my best friends through ASP. ASP memberships reach beyond where I worked, where I live, and where I go to church.”
