San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Virtual | April 3-5, 2025

The AAC&U Conference on Learning and Student Success (CLASS) explores strategies for transforming student learning and reimagining the undergraduate experience. Building on the legacies of the Conference on General Education, Pedagogy, and Assessment and the Conference on Diversity, Equity, and Student Success, CLASS fosters collaboration across disciplines to address the most pressing issues in higher education, including general education reform, equity in student success, and the connections between curricula and career outcomes.

We’re excited to announce an important next step in our ongoing efforts to advance student success. The Conference on General Education, Pedagogy, and Assessment (GEPA) and the Conference on Diversity, Equity, and Student Success (DESS) will combine to become the Conference on Learning and Student Success (CLASS). By bringing these two conferences together, CLASS aims to break down siloes and create space for transformative conversations and connections necessary to shape the future of undergraduate education and student success.

The AAC&U Transforming STEM Higher Education Conference advances undergraduate STEM education reform by foregrounding STEM faculty's diverse perspectives, worldviews, voices, and desires—especially those from groups historically marginalized in STEM. This event provides a deeper understanding of classroom, institutional, and national levers of reform. It outlines a national agenda for manipulating those levers to drive discovery, innovation, and social change in STEM higher education.
