Name Change Announcement
We are happy to announce the National Association for Developmental Education (NADE) will soon be officially known as the National Organization for Student Success (NOSS).
In 1976, NADE began as the National Association for Remedial/Developmental Education Studies in Postsecondary Education or NAR/DSPE. The organization has continually offered professional development opportunities for faculty and support staff in higher education for 43 years, and that will not change as we move forward. The decision to change the name has been years in the making with much research and opportunities for member input. The name change will allow our organization to continue what NADE began as our purpose. We will
focus on the academic success of students
provide professional development for administrators, faculty, and support professionals
support student learning
provide public leadership
disseminate exemplary models of practice
coordinate efforts with other organizations
facilitate communication among educational professionals.
Our commitment to our members remains unchanged. By re-branding ourselves as the National Organization for Student Success, we are expanding our commitment to growth and community which is reflected in our new logo.
We are in the beginning stages of the re-branding process, which includes creating a timeline for the roll-out, taking appropriate and legal steps to officially change the name, and identifying marketing steps that need to be taken to ensure those outside of NOSS are aware of the change. As such, we first want to share the following information:
CHAPTER LEADERS: As the national board continues work on the re-branding, the marketing committee is creating a "Tool Box" of resources for chapters that wish to change their names. Chapter presidents should expect the Tool Box by April 1, 2019. We will keep you informed of changes throughout the process.NETWORK, COMMITTEE CHAIRS & ACCREDITATION COMMISSION: We will ensure that you, as leaders of the organization, have a voice and are aware of any changes impacting Networks, Committees, or the Accreditation Commission.
MEMBERS: Our goal is to be forthcoming with information in a timely manner to ensure that you are aware of how we are progressing.
Please carefully read newsletters and emails from NOSS as we go through this process. Stay tuned!
