The Future of D3 Athletics

Table in Waterside Ballrooms 16

Many CIC institutions are heavily invested in NCAA Division III athletics.  As college athletics, particularly at the Division I level, becomes more complex, join us to discuss the challenges to and opportunities for the Division III ideals for intercollegiate athletics.

In the Face of Attack, a New Coalition to Unite Higher Education

Waterside Ballroom 12

Now is the time for colleges and universities across geographies, tuition levels, and student bodies to unite to protect the freedom to learn and teach without partisan interference, safeguard the institutional autonomy that keeps governance out of government hands, and defend the inclusive values that make a diverse environment of ideas possible, on campus and beyond. This new coalition is on the frontlines of the effort to do just that: unite higher education and play serious defense.

Mike Gavin, President, Delta College (MI); Founder, Education for All
