Call for Proposals: 2025 AAC&U Annual Meeting – Jul 31

Posted by American Association of Colleges and Universities on July 9, 2024

Higher education faces ongoing challenges —political interference, declining public confidence, the growing influence of artificial intelligence, a student mental health crisis, and more. The 2025 American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) Annual Meeting, “Reaffirming Higher Education’s Public Purpose,” is a call to action and an opportunity to address the topics that matter most to you.

AAC&U invites proposals for sessions that address the challenges currently facing colleges and universities as well as higher education writ large. We particularly encourage proposals that focus on working collaboratively across institutions and sectors, present solutions developed by educators in partnership with policymakers and philanthropists, and offer models for campus engagement and student learning in challenging times. Accepted proposals will fall into one of the following meeting tracks:

1. Advancing Public Purposes
2. Arguing with Evidence
3. Bridging Science and Humanity
4. Educating for a Democracy in Question
5. Leveraging Digital Innovation
6. Transforming Policies and Practices to Support Student Success

Proposal submission deadline is July 31, 2024.

Learn more about the meeting tracks, session format options, and how to develop and submit your proposal.
