2024 Early College Summit: Grid

Welcome to the 2024 Early College Summit!

Thanks for joining us! The summit aims to provide early college educators, administrators, researchers, and advocates the opportunity to gather for focused learning and networking around the shared goal of postsecondary access and success for every student. As we engage in time for learning and rejuvenation, we are reminded that we are building connections to foster excellence, share expertise, and amplify student success. The theme of this year’s summit is "Innovating for Student Success," and we hope you come away inspired with innovative insights and new ideas that strengthen your work in service to students and your school communities.

Important Reminders:

Summit interest sessions are aligned with the Next Generation Early College Framework.
