May 27, 2026 – May 28, 2026 EDT
The college union is more than a building; it is the living room of campus, and a cornerstone of student success. However, as the landscape of higher education shifts, it is essential that we return to our roots while researching our future.
Join us for this inaugural two-day virtual summit designed to provide a comprehensive baseline of knowledge for professionals at all levels. Whether you are looking to ground yourself in the philosophy of our field or seeking data-driven insights to advocate for your department and students, this summit offers a dedicated space for growth, reflection, and connection.
To ensure that every attendee finds their right direction, this summit features two distinct educational tracks, one based on the foundations of the college union, while the other dives into current data and research by others within our association regarding the efficacy and evolution of the college union today.
