Why I’m Attending

“The work our administration, staff, and faculty have done with the guidance of Caring Campus has been culture-changing for our campus. I’m hoping that the Caring Campus conference will provide me the space to focus on innovative ideas and make national connections – all for the purpose of energizing my local campus community.”
