Please join us at the third statewide College Changes Everything conference to support Illinois as it works to reach its Goal 2025 to increase the proportion of adults in Illinois with high quality degrees and credentials to 60% by the year 2025.
You’ve seen the statistics: The United States lags other countries in higher education completion. You’re aware of the personal and economic benefits of postsecondary education to both the individual and the nation – in effect how College Changes Everything for a student and our society.
Attend this one day conference that focuses on effective practices and showcases resources available to help with college access and increasing college completion. One of the strengths of this conference is that it brings together a diverse audience of stakeholders from across the state: college access practitioners; high school leaders, counselors and case managers; college and university leaders and administrators; and elected officials and policymakers interested in higher education.
Greg Darnieder, U.S. Secretary of Education’s Senior Advisor on the College Access Initiative, will address the gathering, and interest sessions presented by state and national leaders will provide in-depth information, practical ideas, and specific strategies to address the important issues we face, such as:
- Student Support Services
- Retention
- Remediation
- Dual Degree/Dual Credit
- College Readiness
- Career Development
- Civic and Municipal Engagement
- Students with Special Needs
- And more
There is no registration fee, so register today and come ready to spend the day with Illinois colleagues to share and learn best practices and policies that will lead the state to reach its 60% x 2025 Goal.
