From Access to Impact: Education as the Engine of Economic Mobility, challenges us to move beyond opening doors and focus on what happens next: persistence, completion, career readiness, and long-term economic mobility. In a rapidly shifting policy and higher education landscape, this conference equips you with the knowledge, strategies, and professional network needed to lead with confidence and purpose. Across four dynamic days in San Diego, participants will engage in powerful conversations, practical professional development, and forward-looking sessions designed to ignite new ideas and strengthen program impact. Through evidence-based best practices, expert-led discussions, and collaborative learning, attendees will gain actionable tools that can be implemented immediately to elevate student outcomes and advance institutional goals.
