National Conference on Students in Transition

The National Conference on Students in Transition is a premier event designed to address various aspects of student transitions within higher education. This conference invites professionals from universities to engage in a series of concurrent sessions, facilitated dialogues, and vendor presentations that focus on topics such as the transition from high school to college, supporting students through degree changes, and effective registration practices for online students.

The 33rd iteration of this conference will be held virtually, allowing for a broader audience reach across the United States and even extending to international participants from countries such as Iraq.

At the conference, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in 50-minute sessions comprising 30 to 35 minutes of formal presentation followed by 15 to 20 minutes for discussion. These sessions are particularly beneficial for those who aim to present research findings related to student transitions, learning, development, performance, and retention.

Each presentation should demonstrate a clear relevance to student transitions and provide valuable contributions to the field, whether through quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-method studies. Furthermore, presentations that highlight successful initiatives implemented at specific campuses are highly encouraged, as they offer insights into effective practices that can drive institutional improvement.

Additionally, the conference will feature vendor presentations that allow organizations to showcase their publications, products, or services relevant to student transitions. These vendor opportunities are designed to foster networking and collaboration among conference participants. The event will also include facilitated dialogues, which focus on promoting open discussions around significant issues related to student transitions, allowing attendees to share experiences and learn from one another.

This format emphasizes collaborative learning and the exchange of ideas among educators and administrators in the university setting. Overall, the National Conference on Students in Transition promises to be an engaging and informative event for all those involved in higher education.
