Partnerships: Stronger Together
WELCOME TO THE SILVER STATE! On behalf of your executive committees and WICHE staff, we look forward to seeing you at our joint annual meeting April 23-25, 2025 in Reno, NV. We have developed a program to inform, engage, energize, and spark conversation among our network of senior leaders at institutions across the West. The theme, Partnerships: Stronger Together, is reflective of the Western Academic Leadership Forum (Forum) and Western Alliance of Community College Academic Leaders (Alliance) coming together for this annual convening. As higher education continues to face a rapidly changing landscape, it is the innovative collaboration across institutions, departments, partnerships with workforce partners, and engaging with policymakers that create fruitful opportunities for our institutions to meet the moment. We are truly excited for the compelling conference sessions but also for the opportunity to engage with one another in person.
We look forward to joining with you in Nevada in April!
