    In today’s dynamic higher education landscape, student success demands more than academic achievement—it requires a holistic approach that nurtures the whole student. This year’s conference theme,

     Thrive Together: Holistic Student Support, invites attendees to reimagine how institutions collaborate across departments, disciplines, and roles to create inclusive, empowering environments where all students can flourish.

    Join us as we celebrate the power of collective action and shared responsibility in helping students not only succeed—but thrive.
