Meeting the Moment & Finding Joy: June 26-28, 2024

Occidental College will host the 2024 Annual Institutional Representatives Conference for the Consortium on High Achievement & Success (CHAS) in Los Angeles, CA.

The challenges of working in higher education seem to be growing, while the rewards often feel like they are diminishing. We still have not fully recovered from the difficulties the pandemic presented and yet we are confronted with navigating a more polarizing political climate, attacks on DEI, new enrollment and admission standards, geo-political tensions, and our day-to-day campus crises. How do we continue to show care, not just to our students, but to our colleagues and ourselves? How do we find meaning and joy in our work, while meeting increased expectations? Join us in conversations about how we face these challenges and begin to identify new pathways to success.

Your institution must be member of the CHAS Consortium to attend the representatives meeting. If you are interested in participating from a non-member institution please contact the CHAS Executive Director Sourav Guha at sourav.guha@trincoll.edu.
