The 2020 HLC Annual Conference Call for Proposals is now open. The deadline to submit proposals is September 16, 2019. Proposals should be submitted through the Proposal Submission System.

Selection Criteria

For all 2020 proposal guidelines, please review the Proposal Submission Guide.

The 2020 Annual Conference will center leadership within higher education, particularly discussions of how institutions and accreditors might provide example and guidance through this transitional era of higher ed. The General Program will explore this theme through presentations related to the following categories:

• Maximizing Institutional Resources
• Supporting Changing Student Populations and Interests
• Fostering Progress Through Innovative Pedagogy
• Focusing on Leadership and Governance
  
  

All proposals are considered for the General Program and may come under additional consideration for the Accreditation Workshop depending on the content of the proposal and the workshop’s needs.

HLC makes the final decision on the presentation format of selected proposals based on the needs of the annual conference.

Please note: Presentations that feature tools, products or services available for purchase by colleges and universities may be submitted as exhibitor showcase presentations. For more information, visit Sponsors and Exhibitors in fall 2019.
