Venue: Online via Zoom

The AoC’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Conference returns in Spring 2027, bringing together college leaders, practitioners and partners from across the sector.
Drawing on the promising practice shared by colleges over the past year, the conference will examine community cohesion and the role of education in responding to growing social tensions and division.
Together, we will explore how colleges can use their influence, assets and relationships to make equality, diversity and inclusion integral to their civic mission. Be part of a sector-wide discussion and help shape what inclusive leadership looks like in the communities colleges serve.
