With the idea of leveraging the country’s top leaders, scholars, and policy makers in higher education, we will convene an annual conversation to address important challenges and to share creative solutions that are grounded in research and practice. Rooted in the relevant national conversations of the past year, the 2017 Summit will focus on issues of inclusion, primarily issues of academic inclusion with recognition of personal and social factors as well.
Below we have listed our confirmed speakers and the topics they will be addressing. Sessions will be conducted in a variety of formats and will be interspersed with breakout activities to facilitate synthesis and collaboration across campuses.
