  • 2026 ACPA/ASHE Presidential Symposium

    Online

    The 2026 Symposium offers a vital space to reflect on the complexities, profound systemic shifts, and emotional labor defining the current landscape of higher education. Grounded in a commitment to deep praxis rather than a rehashing of past dialogues, this event invites participants to explore how we live, breathe, and act within our localized communities and national organizations. Rather than seeking superficial fixes, this gathering encourages collective imagination, inviting graduate students, early career professionals, and senior executives alike to wrestle with internal divisional challenges. By centering community, and future-oriented dreaming, this gathering serves as a catalyst to collectively reimagine our shared work and cultivate meaningful, transformative action.
