Please Note: If selected, all presenters must register and pay to attend the conference and present at the time and place specified by the program committee. Presenters will be notified of the status of their proposal.
Right of Refusal Statement: the John N. Gardner Institute for Excellence in Higher Education reserves the right to refuse requests for any and all session proposals for all sponsored events that are not consistent with the organization's mission and goals. This will apply to individuals or organizations selling commercial products and/or services.
This event will be planned and executed by the John N. Gardner Institute for Excellence in Higher Education (Gardner Institute). The 25-year-old Gardner Institute has been focused on improving teaching, learning, student success, and completion in postsecondary education to advance broader societal equity and justice. The Gardner Institute’s focus, to date, has been on undergraduate education. But, it is graduate education that produces the future professoriate, administrators, and staff that serve undergraduate students. This convening is a deliberate exploration of graduate student success as a logical extension of the Institute’s work in improving the higher education student experience.
