Can Higher Education Recapture the Elusive American Dream?

AAC&U’s 2018 Annual Meeting will address higher education’s role in the American Dream in the face of a public narrative that argues the two have become disconnected.

The conference will reinforce the alignment of higher education, life, work, and citizenship by highlighting evidence-based educational practices guided by clearly articulated goals for student learning—practices designed for students of all backgrounds and across all disciplines and institution types.

AAC&U invites proposals of innovative, interactive, substantive sessions that will raise provocative questions, engage participants with evidence of “what works,” and create and encourage dialogue—before, during, and after the conference.
