Seattle, WA

The call for proposals is now closed.

About the Meeting

In the wake of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, higher education faces a moment of reflection and renewed responsibility. As institutions interrogate current practices, they are also called to examine how those practices align with higher education’s enduring purposes and to reimagine student success for a rapidly changing and uncertain world.

At a time when public trust is fragile and truth itself is frequently contested, AAC&U affirms its commitment to supporting colleges and universities in preparing students to become informed citizens who can thoughtfully engage in a pluralistic democracy. We invite you to move from reflection to action by exploring how higher education can rebuild public confidence, equip students to navigate complexity and difference, and strengthen institutions’ service to the public good.
