Big Ideas, Real Impact.

• Share real strategies that support student success

• Connect with colleagues across Arizona

We are seeking proposals that push beyond business-as-usual and speak directly to how we:

• Redesign career services to meet today’s students—across access points, identities, and lived realities

• Build meaningful, scalable employer partnerships that reflect workforce needs across Arizona

• Integrate career development into the curriculum, not just around it

• Use data, technology, and AI thoughtfully to expand—not replace—human connection

• Lead through change, restructure teams, and sustain staff in demanding environments

• Advance equity in ways that are measurable, not just aspirational

• Collaborate across institutions—community colleges and universities—to create stronger, clearer pathways for students
