The CSU Student Success Network Conference is a virtual conference designed by and for middle leaders and students in the CSU

Registration is free for all CSU faculty, staff, administrators, and students.

2022 Conference Theme:

Sustaining Momentum for Equity and Change in the CSU

The CSU has made great strides to support and invest in equity-centered efforts largely driven by middle leaders. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, this commitment propelled new and innovative ways of supporting students. With increases in funding for basic needs, technology, academic support services, and professional development, to innovations in teaching and advising, the CSU responded swiftly to provide holistic support for students in response to multiple ongoing crises. It is clear: the CSU is capable of marshaling resources when needed to ensure that students are equitably served. How do we ensure that we continue with that same sense of urgency to prioritize equity? And importantly, as we move through and past this pandemic, how do we sustain these efforts?

The CSU Student Success Network Conference is the only CSU-system conference bringing together practitioners, faculty, administrators, and students across roles and campuses to share evidence, practices, and actionable research in support of equitable student success. The conference will feature presentations from middle leaders and students across the CSU. Presenters will focus on strategies for leadership and momentum on-campus that address equity, from wherever we sit. This year’s conference will feature a pre-conference Convening on Tuesday, October 11 with keynote speaker Dr. Tia Brown McNair.

Why an Annual Conference? 

The Network Conference is designed by and for middle leaders and students in the CSU. Its purpose is to advance equitable student success by providing faculty, staff, administrators, and students with an annual statewide opportunity to share actionable research, evidence, and practices for use or adaptation on our own campuses. The conference builds relationships and knowledge exchange across the CSU.
