“I’ve consistently found this meeting to be the best bang-for-buck value for our team’s professional development dollars."
"Aside from a wide variety of informative, best-practice sessions, I know I can count on this conference to network with our profession’s best minds and reconnect with friends. A notable theme that tends to come through at this meeting from year to year is about how our institutions can collectively and individually expand access to those students and families who need it the most. Given the turbulent times we’re all facing in higher education, I think this will be an important year to learn and have fellowship.”
