PRIORITY SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MARCH 6, 2023

More than 500 higher education professionals attend the AACRAO Technology & Transfer Summit to explore how technology integrates into campus operations, and how strategic planning can foster innovative approaches to employing transfer credit and policies to facilitate academic mobility and improve student success.

The 2023 Summit theme is Finding creativity in Technology and Transfer. The four primary focus areas are:

  • The utilization of technological resources, information systems, research, best practices, and innovation.
  • The engagement, retention, and success of all transfer students.
  • The impact of people to meet institutional goals and strategies and ensure positive student experiences.
  • Professional development in creative leadership, teamwork and collaboration, partnerships, and more.

AACRAO invites you to share your ideas and experiences by submitting session proposals for our 2023 summit. Presenting provides unparalleled opportunities to share projects, initiatives, white papers, etc. as an individual, a team, or as part of a panel of experts. Your contributions are vital to making the Technology & Transfer Summit a continued success.
