Attendees from our inaugural conference highlighted the powerful connections and practical strategies they gained. 



“My favorite part of the conference has been learning about everyone’s journeys and wide range of strategies. It’s important to connect with others who share a passion for student success because that’s the purpose of why we do what we do. We want our students to be successful!”

Jorge Nieto, College of DuPage Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs 

You’ll also hear from three inspiring keynote speakers and leading voices in student success and engagement: Dr. Linda García, Executive Director of the Center for Community College Student Engagement (CCCSE) and the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD); Dr. Davis Jenkins, Senior Research Scholar at the Community College Research Center; and, Dr. Peter Felten, Assistant Provost for Teaching and Learning, Executive Director of the Center for Engaged Learning, and Professor of History at Elon University.

And submit a presentation proposal by Friday, October 9 to showcase your Caring Campus strategies and stories.

We’ll see you in Nashville!
