In the midst of generational transition, Student Success Services professionals must be adaptive and collaborative. The 2026 agenda was built with that in mind. Workshops will include: 

Staff-Centered, Student-Focused: Driving Operational Excellence around Student Success, Presented by Dr. Jamarco R. Clark

This keynote session weaves together the Staff-Centered, Student-Focused leadership framework with principles of operational excellence. Participants will explore how supporting and empowering staff leads to more effective and efficient services and how streamlined systems free staff to do what they do best: care for students. Through real-world examples, reflection, and interactive exercises, attendees will identify both cultural and operational strategies to reduce barriers, maximize impact, and sustain their own energy for the important work they do. This session is both a recharge and a roadmap—reminding us that when we take care of the people who take care of the people, students succeed.
