Miacada 2026 Fall Virtual conference

INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION FOR ALL STUDENTS

This virtual conference brings together academic advisors, administrators, and student success professionals to examine critical frameworks surrounding equity, inclusion, technological innovation, and student support.

This year’s conference aims to highlight topics less frequently covered in MIACADA conferences, such as:

Unique Student Groups: Strategies for advocating and tailoring advising for student-athletes, single parents, military-connected students, individuals with disabilities, international students, and rural scholars. We encourage advisors to think holistically and creatively about unique groups among your advisees.

Biases and Impact on Students: how personal and systemic bias affects advising practices and administration in general.

AI & Emerging Technologies: Best practices for integrating artificial intelligence to enhance administrative efficiency while maintaining the essential human connection in advising as well as examine AI's long-term impact on students' career prospects.

Attendees will leave equipped with practical frameworks and evidence-based strategies to foster campus belonging, broaden access, and measurably improve student outcomes.

COST to attend is FREE - a benefit of your miacada membership!
