The theme for this year’s conference is Transformative Education. During this three-day event, which includes preconference workshops on November 2 and conference plenary and concurrent sessions on November 3 and 4, learn more about changes in higher education policy, cybersecurity, advancing DEI efforts, the value of prison education, and much, much more!  

During the awards luncheon on November 3, we will recognize the winners of the Beacon Awards for Excellence in Student Achievement and Success and our long-term volunteer evaluators.
