Higher Education at 250: Purpose, Trust, and Transformation

AAC&U invites proposals that demonstrate how institutions are recentering their work on students and student success while advancing the public purpose mission of higher education. We welcome practical and innovative approaches to strengthening institutions’ roles as anchor institutions, foster learning environments grounded in humanistic inquiry and pedagogies of care, and thoughtfully incorporate emerging technologies, including AI, across teaching, learning, and institutional practice.

The deadline to submit a proposal is July 31, 2026 at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Decisions regarding proposals will be sent by email in late September. If you have any questions about the Annual Meeting, please email AM@aacu.org or visit our website!
