Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to attend the 2026 Student Success Conference, Connected for Success: Advancing Student Success through Partnership, Innovation, and Impact, on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at the UConn Storrs Student Union Ballroom.
This year’s conference is designed to be a collaborative, working session designed to advance a shared understanding of the current landscape of student success at UConn and to explore opportunities for innovation and improvement moving forward.
Through structured dialogue and shared reflection, participants will identify where gaps exist and begin to reimagine how we can better support student success collectively moving forward. Through the dimensions of Access & Equity, Belonging & Connection, Advising & Academic Support, Student Wellbeing & Basic Needs, Career Readiness & Experiential Learning, and Accessibility, we will surface challenges and generate new ideas for improving our campus community. The conference includes opportunities to reflect on our work as practitioners, connect to our colleagues across units, and dedicate time to promoting personal and professional renewal. Together, we will translate these insights into meaningful action to enhance student success across the university.
