Join us for a day rich with insights into higher education trends, interactive discussions, and youth-led workshops dedicated to fostering a culture of voice, enhancing self-knowledge, and highlighting the positive employment outcomes of a college education.

Our keynote speaker, COL Chris Mayer, the Associate Dean for Strategy and Initiatives at the United States Military Academy at West Point, brings a unique blend of foresight and expertise as a recognized futurist, esteemed evaluator for the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, and reviewer for the Quality Assurance Commons. His presentation on “Trends in Higher Education” will offer a rare glimpse into the evolving educational landscape through the eyes of a visionary leader and will set the stage for group discussions where attendees will explore these trends and their implications for the future of inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE).

The PIHEC Symposium is designed to be a day filled with enriching dialogue and interactive workshops that promise to enhance futures, amplify voices, and navigate the transitions within education. It offers an invaluable opportunity for IPSE professionals, students, faculty, families, and other supporters and advocates to gain new insights and forge connections. Join us for an event that is set to be both informative and transformative, aiming to unite and empower the IPSE community.
