This event brings together thousands of practitioners from hundreds of colleges to exchange evidence-based approaches to accelerating student success in a manner that champions equity and drives economic vibrancy. The conference embodies Achieving the Dream’s (ATD) longstanding belief in advancing community colleges as accessible hubs of learning, credentialing, and social mobility that eliminate inequities in students’ educational and workforce outcomes.
DREAM is the place to be to discover time-proven strategies that transform higher education and uplift our communities.
Through plenary sessions with critically acclaimed scholars, educators, and activists and breakout sessions with higher education thought leaders, we look forward to gathering in Orlando with a nationwide network of colleagues to share 20 years’ worth of lessons learned in the student success field and to promote our vision of higher education as an engine for equity and a catalyst for community transformation.
