🎉Celebrating 20 Years! 🎉

Join us at the 20th annual Strengthening Student Success Conference as we mark two decades of collective learning, growth, and impact! This year’s theme, Co-Creating a Liberatory Future, invites us to envision and advance equity-driven change for our students, our communities, and ourselves.

The conference offers a unique opportunity for California community college professionals—faculty, deans, student services staff, IRPE professionals, and more—to connect across roles and campuses. Together, we’ll explore strategies to improve equitable outcomes, strengthen institutional effectiveness, and build leadership capacity. Through interactive sessions, thought-provoking plenaries, and innovative learning opportunities, the conference fosters meaningful dialogue and collaboration across disciplines. Our commitment to race-conscious, equity-minded, student-centered transformation is woven throughout the program. We hope you’ll join us in this milestone year as we celebrate 20 years of progress and continue building a liberatory future together.
