Picture this: A student walks onto campus for the first time. They’re excited, nervous, maybe even a little unsure about where they fit in. Then—just as they’re starting to feel lost—they see something happening. A hypnotist on stage is making the crowd erupt with laughter. A spoken word artist is holding an audience in rapt silence. A magician is weaving a story through sleight of hand, reminding them that wonder still exists.
These moments—the moments that connect us, that make us feel part of something bigger—are what campus programming is all about. And at APCA Nationals 2025, student affairs professionals from across the country will be gathering in Hershey, PA, to discover the artists, entertainers, and speakers who will bring these moments to life on their campuses.
The best performances aren’t just spectacles; they’re stories that leave an impression. The hypnotist doesn’t just put someone to sleep—he fosters joy and community. The poet doesn’t just read words—she paints emotions that stick with people long after the mic is off. The comedian doesn’t just make people laugh—he reminds them that even in the toughest times, humor is a shared experience.
And that’s what APCA Nationals is all about. It’s where student life professionals come to find not just entertainment—but experiences that will bring students together, create lasting memories, and build a sense of belonging.
This year’s lineup is packed with artists who bring more than just a performance—they bring an experience.
