2025 International Colloquium

Hyatt Regency Long Beach 200 S. Pine Avenue, Long Beach, California

Each year, ACPA's Commission for Global Dimensions of Student Development (CGDSD) hosts the International Colloquium, a half-day or daylong program that brings together scholars, practitioners, graduate students, and policymakers from around the world to discuss pressing global issues within the higher education profession. Every Colloquium takes a different focus on a substantive issue related to student success and invited speakers present and lead discussion and dialogue based around that topic. Through the Colloquium, CGDSD creates space for and initiates international and cross-cultural dialogue and collaboration among higher and tertiary education professionals and encourages its members to become engaged global citizens. This year too, CGDSD is excited to host the 2025 International Colloquium webinar series, which is free and open to all ACPA members to participate. The Colloquium will explore critical issues in higher education internationalization, focusing on international students' education, well-being, and social justice in global contexts.

What is clear, however, is that the essential work of higher education must continue—even as campuses are being asked to do more with fewer resources than ever before. Amidst these challenges, collaboration and innovation are not just helpful—they are necessary.
