Call for Educational Program Proposals

AHEPPP: Family Engagement in Higher Education invites professional staff, faculty, community partners, and graduate students from all academic disciplines and departments to consider presenting a program at the 2025 Family Engagement in Higher Education National Conference November 17-19 in Orlando, FL.

As family engagement professionals, it is important to share the vast experiences we facilitate that bring value to our institutional communities. It’s equally important to think creatively about how we do our work and the impact it can have. Now is your opportunity to share this knowledge and engage with your colleagues at #AHEPPP25 in Orlando, FL!
