ACPA21 will be an experience that is:
Refreshing. We will support the community and development ACPA provides professionals and we will celebrate and uplift our members and their contributions to the world.
Revitalizing. We will offer opportunities for professionals to learn, connect, engage, and recommit ourselves to our work in higher education. We will welcome ACPA members from across the world to our largest membership state (California) and contemporary issues on campus and in the region/state.
Real. We will engage in honest, difficult, and enlightening conversations about timely topics and critical issues affecting our work, including ACPA’s Strategic Imperative for Racial Justice and Decolonization.
