Fostering a Student-Centered Campus

Denver, CO | October 14, 2026 8:00 am MT - October 15, 2026 4:30 pm MT


Transform your leadership strategy into structural changed for student-centered success.

Event Information

Across higher education, institutions are being called to demonstrate—not just state—a commitment to student success and belonging. While “student-centered” is a widely used phrase, it often lacks shared meaning or operational clarity at the senior leadership level. Too frequently, structures, policies, and services reflect institutional convenience rather than the lived needs and experiences of students. This two-day workshop is designed for senior leaders who shape campus culture, strategy, and systems. You’ll examine what it truly means to lead a student-centered institution, probe assumptions embedded in existing practices, and explore how leadership decisions—intended or not—affect student access, persistence, and retention. Rather than focusing on programmatic fixes, the workshop will introduce a framework that will lead to true structural change. Through case studies, facilitated dialogue, and applied learning, you’ll leave with an implementation plan for student-centeredness along with concrete next steps to advance this work within your own institutional context.

Who should attend?

Senior leaders who can affect change around whether a campus is student-centered will benefit most. This includes academic leaders like Provosts, Associate/Assistant Provosts, and Chiefs of staff, as well as staff leaders like Vice Presidents of Student Affairs and Deans of Students.
