Format: Online

Program Type: Webinar
Webinars are free, 30- to 90-minute virtual events. ACE experts, campus leaders, and other voices from within and beyond higher education discuss critical questions and promising practices around a timely topic. Registrants have the opportunity to share their questions during the live event and to access the recording afterward.

In response to an increasingly complicated environment for higher education, the American Council on Education (ACE) created its Office on National Engagement in the fall of 2023 to influence public debates on the role and value of postsecondary education. To advance this work, the office developed the Advancing Higher Education in Our States series to strengthen critical engagement between higher education and its state governments, communities, and residents.

Each webinar will bring together a panel of experts to explore ways that higher education institutions contribute in their communities and discuss why fostering local connections is critical to the future of postsecondary education.
