Save the date for the 2024 Annual Conference
March 26-28 | Boston, MA
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great excitement that we invite you to the 2023 Annual UPCEA Conference hosted in-person in Washington D.C. on March 22-24, 2023.
We had record attendance at the 2022 UPCEA Annual Conference and it amplified our collective desires to share, reconnect, learn and tackle our respective new realities. The importance of community is so clear to us now more than ever before.
With this in mind the themes for this year's conference are focused on partnerships, resilience, access and inclusion. We will learn from leaders engaged in innovative global collaborations, interdisciplinary programs, and local partnerships focused on equity.
As the pace of technology transformation continues at record speed we will highlight and discuss the trends that are impacting our work from talent development retention and development needs. We will discuss how student success has adapted to meet the needs of students today. And we will have real conversations with leaders who are grappling with issues of sustainability and access.
Our work is never easy and it has never been more important. We look forward to reconnecting and engaging in vivid discussions about the dynamic future for our work in higher education.
See you in March!
Warm regards,
Angie Kamath
Dean, NYU School of Professional Studies
Chris Steele
Vice Provost, Division of Professional Studies, UMBC
