Through expert-led conversations\, interactive sessions\, and collaborative networking opportunities\, participants will develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the potential for the role of a Dean of Students in higher education. Exploring\, aspiring\, and current DOS attendees will leave the institute empowered and ready to create a nurturing environment that promotes success and well-being. \n \n \n \n \n \n INSITUTE FEATURES\n \n \n \n \n \n Through participation in the Dean of Student Institute\, you will have the opportunity to: \n\nExplore and analyze dimensions of the DOS role and formulate priorities for action.\nCreate a network of peer support for your current role and beyond with professionals from across higher education.\nConstruct an individualized plan based on what you learned for ongoing well-being\, personal\, and professional development as a senior-level higher education professional.\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Student affairs educators who work in the Dean of Student (DOS) space play unique and critical roles within higher education and for the students they serve. Often working with students or supporting the institution broadly during crises\, DOS professionals connect students to resources for physical or mental health needs\, address behavioral and academic misconduct\, respond to concerns about student or campus safety\, help students impacted by interpersonal violence navigate institutional and community processes\, and support all students as they progress toward their academic goals. In addition to direct service and care for students\, professionals in Dean of Students roles are also responsible for addressing broad campus issues\, creating or adapting policies\, and ensuring compliance with state and federal requirements. \nDean of Students professionals are expected to be the “jack of all trades” and masters of most. Although a variety of professional development opportunities speak to individual components of the role like student conduct\, case management\, or threat assessment\, no other experience focuses on this group of key professionals and the intersection of these complex issues.   \nThis learning experience is an institute and not a conference. Sessions are organized and sequenced to meet the needs of professionals at different places in their journey. Each session is also sequenced with learning outcomes to create an integrated\, developmentally scaffolded experience for the participants. Unlike conferences where participants choose to participate (or not) in concurrent sessions\, during this institute\, all attendees will participate in a cohort experience and are expected to engage fully in all aspects of the institute. \n \n \n \n \n \n WHO SHOULD ATTEND\n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe ACPA Dean of Student Institute is designed to support professionals currently in the position of Dean of Students\, by title or areas of responsibility\, as well as those exploring the role as a potential career path. This includes AVC/Dean of Students\, Deans of Students\, Associate/Assistant Deans\, and senior- or mid-level professionals from across student affairs to include housing\, student conduct\, and case management. \n\nFeedback submitted by 2025 participants: “The Dean of Students Institute for ACPA25 was fantastic!! — This was the BEST value for an institute in my 22 years in the profession. — This has been one of the best trainings I have been a part of.

So\, we have created content to help you deliver the best for your audience. First\, as your guides\, we have scoured through Mike’s Ph.D. research and are sharing the top 12 things participants need from facilitators and the results are fascinating! Join us if you want to practice your facilitative skills\, increase your audience’s evaluations score on your work\, learn how to flex your style to meet your audience\, figure out how to make your work more interactive using the 70/30 rule\, practice your pace and pitch\, and learn where facilitators can often go wrong. Finally\, we will teach you how to read your audience when they make a face that stresses you out. \nAs we share\, you never went to camp to watch videos about canoeing\, horseback riding\, and the ropes course. Why would your participants come to your course to watch you read the PowerPoints when they could be trying something themselves?

This learning experience is dynamic and valuable. Participants will be able to explore how to lead\, design\, and implement a curricular approach. ICA Faculty will offer learning opportunities including large group keynotes\, smaller sequenced sessions\, faculty consultations\, institutional showcases\, and more. Wherever you are in your journey individually and organizationally toward a departmental or divisional curricular approach\, this institute is a straight-forward way to obtain clear direction from higher education and student affairs professionals experienced with a curricular approach. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Through participation in ICA\, you will have the opportunity to:\n \n \n \n \n \n \nApply the 10 Essential Elements of a Curricular Approach\nDesign\, implement\, and assess a Curricular Approach\nLearn from other institutions implementing a Curricular Approach through Showcase presentations\nGet feedback from Institute faculty about your Curricular Approach through Faculty Consults\n\nA Curricular Approach is a paradigm shift from traditional educational approaches to an intentional\, developmentally sequenced one\, defined by institutional mission and purpose. Staff members using a Curricular Approach first identify clear learning goals and outcomes grounded in the history\, culture\, mission\, and purpose of each institution. Then staff members identify student engagement strategies that can provide opportunities for students to achieve these learning goals and outcomes. Goals are sequenced\, pedagogy rooted in scholarship of teaching and learning\, and campus partners incorporated from throughout the institution. A Curricular Approach uses assessment to inform a process of continuous improvement. \nShifting to using a Curricular Approach is not superficial nor is it simply utilizing learning outcomes to guide programming. A curricular approach utilizes the 10 Essential Elements to think about student learning and a refined leadership mindset. \n \n \n \n \n \n Institute Features\n \n \n \n \n \n This learning experience is an institute and not a conference. Sessions are organized and sequenced to meet the needs of professionals and organizations at different places in their journey. Each session is also sequenced with learning outcomes to create an integrated\, developmentally sequenced\, experience for the participants. Showcases are also offered from a variety of institutional sizes and types to give concrete examples of how a Curricular Approach can be implemented consistently across campuses but also tailored for each unique campus context. \nWhether it is your first Institute or your twelfth\, you will leave inspired with new insights\, new collegial connections\, new examples and innovations\, and new energy. We have representatives from all sizes and types of institutions who have benefited from the Institute experience.  \n \n \n \n \n \n REgistration information\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Team Registration\nConsistently\, some of the best feedback we receive from participants is from those who attended as members of an institutional team. While individual attendance is perfectly fine\, if you can register as a team\, we encourage it so you can learn together in real time and build or advance your Curricular Approach together. \nDemographics of institute participants (based on 2023 Institute evaluation data): \n\n\n\nTeam Attendance\nYears Attending ICA\n\n\n\n\nAttended without a team: 6%\nFirst-time attendee: 71%\n\n\nAttended with two to five colleagues: 46%\nReturning attendee: 29%\n\n\nAttended with more than six colleagues: 46%\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n TeamACPA MemberStudent MemberNon-MemberStudent NonInternational\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRegistrant 1: $659 /$859*                                    • Registrant 6: $559\nRegistrant 2:$659 /$859*                                    • Registrant 7: $459\nRegistrant 3: $559                                                 • Registrant 8: $459\nRegistrant 4: $559                                                • Registrant 9: $459\nRegistrant 5: $559                                                • Registrant 10: FREE\n\n*Rate after 21 August 2026 \nWhen registering a team\, please select “TEAM RATE: ACPA Member Institute Registration – Registrant 1-2 (Same institution)” for your first two registrants\, then “TEAM RATE: ACPA Member Institute Registration – Registrant 3-6 (Same institution)” for up to your next four registrants\, and continue with additional team rate options until your entire team is registered. \nPlease Note: All individuals registered using Team Rates must have an active ACPA individual membership through 21 October 2026.

The Leadership Educators Institute (LEI) has a rich history of convening professionals committed to leadership development for nearly 17 years.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SCHEDULE AT-A-GLANCE\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n DAY 1 \n\n8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Registration Open\n9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Pre-Institute Workshops\n1:00 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. Welcome and Opening Keynote\n2:35 p.m. – 3:35 p.m. Concurrent Sessions I\n3:55 p.m. – 4:55 p.m. Concurrent Sessions II\n5:15 p.m. – 6:15 p.m. Concurrent Sessions III\n6:15 p.m. – 7:45 p.m. Opening Reception (Light Fare Provided)\n\nDAY 2 \n\n8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Registration Open\n8:00 am. – 9:00 a.m. Continental Breakfast Provided\n9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Concurrent Sessions IV\n10:20 a.m. – 11:35 a.m. Roundtable Sessions I\n\nor \n\n10:20 a.m. –  10:50 p.m. Learning Labs Session I // 11:10 a.m. –  11:40 p.m. Learning Labs Session II\n11:40 p.m. – 1:40 p.m. Lunch (On Your Own)\n1:40 p.m. – 3:10 p.m. Keynote\n3:30 p.m. – 4:45 p.m. Roundtable Discussions and Featured Sessions\n\nor \n\n3:45 p.m. – 4:45 p.m. Concurrent Sessions V\n5:05 p.m. – 6:05 p.m. Concurrent Sessions VI\n7:00 p.m. Dinner & Dialogues (optional)\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n DAY 3 \n\n7:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Registration Open\n7:30 a.m. – 8:30 a.m. Continental Breakfast Provided\n8:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. Closing Keynote\n9:50 a.m. – 10:50 a.m. Concurrent Sessions VII\n11:05 a.m. – 12:05 p.m. Concurrent Sessions VIII\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration Deadlines & Pricing\nEarly Bird 1 — December 8\, 2025–June 26\, 2026\nEarly Bird 2 — June 27–September 14\, 2026\nRegular — September 15–November 13\, 2026\nLate — November 14–December 14\, 2026\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ACPA/NASPA/NCLP MemberNon-MemberACPA/NASPA/NCLP STUDENT MEMBERSTUDENT NON-MEMBERPRE-CON\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nEarly — $480\nEarly 2 — $500\nRegular — $580\nLate — $650\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nEarly — $690\nEarly 2 — $700\nRegular — $780\nLate — $850\n\nConsider becoming a member of ACPA for a maximum of $179 to save $200 on your registration price–instant $21 savings! \n\nYou may even be eligible to only pay $99 if you work at an ACPA Institutional Member campus!\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nEarly — $190\nEarly 2 — $200\nRegular — $245\nLate — $325\n\n*membership must be active through 16 December 2026 \n \n \n \n \n \n \nEarly — $290\nEarly 2 — $300\nRegular — $345\nLate — $420\n\nConsider becoming a member of ACPA for only $39 (Masters student) or $49 (Doctoral student) to save $100 on your registration price! \n \n \n \n \n \n \nEarly — $80\nEarly 2 — $80\nRegular — $100\nLate — $140\n\n \n \n \n register\n \n \n \n \n \n PLEASE NOTE: In order to qualify for member rates for the Leadership Educators Institute\, membership with ACPA\, NASPA\, and/or NCLP must be valid through 16 December 2026.
