Individuals paying on their own (and not through the institution) are welcome to fill out the form, as well.

We hope you will consider supporting these efforts through leading a discussion in April. We will have two blocks of roundtable discussions. Each block will last 45 minutes. Facilitators will provide a brief introduction to a topic that they've chosen from the planning committee's recommendations below or their own interest and will introduce and lead a discussion with participants.

    • Advancing Health & Wellness - Within the Profession or through Student Development
    • Advancing the First Year Experience
    • Elevating Student Engagement when in Decline
    • Foundations to Advancing the Universal Apostolic Preferences
    • Student Success and Retention Efforts
