2024 APCU Presidents Retreat

The 2024 APCU Presidents Retreat will be held at the Emory Conference Center Hotel in Atlanta from November 18 through November 20. This change from a March gathering to a November gathering was based on feedback from our member presidents related to convenience, accessibility, and the potential to conduct other important business (like maybe donor visits?) before and/or after the Retreat.

This year’s gathering will once again feature a series of member-led discussions around the challenges and opportunities facing our member institutions. Each of these discussions will take place behind closed doors and allow for casual, open dialogue and idea-sharing.

CIC 2025 Presidents Institute

Financial, political, and social disruptions pose a constant challenge for leaders of independent colleges and universities. In navigating these complex times, resilient leaders who strategically connect campus to community have a distinct advantage in ensuring the stability and success of their institutions. The CIC Presidents Institute, held from January 4–7, 2025, will explore ways that presidents can effectively engage communities to transform upheaval into opportunity. There will also be an APCU-sponsored breakfast gathering for our member presidents. We look forward to seeing you in San Antonio!
