CSSO is pleased to invite you to our 2020 Conference, “Making the Promise a Clear Reality: The Relentless Pursuit of Student Equity & Success.” Our annual conference is an opportunity to collaborate with colleagues, to learn from those whose innovative and successful ideas are paving the way to increasing student success. Up to 600 representatives from student services, instruction, categorical programs, the State Chancellor’s Office, and a myriad of other constituents will convene virtually. We look forward to seeing you online! Program of EventsThe pre-conference institute sessions are scheduled for Tuesday, September 8th (see further below for details). Core conference activities begin in the afternoon on the 8th and run through Thursday, September 10th. As we are still in the process of the shift to virtual, please be assured our plan is to continue to involve all of the exceptional keynote speakers and a number of the breakout sessions we already had scheduled for the in person conference. The format will simply be a bit different and the total number of hours each day will be reduced. Be on the lookout for more information soon.
