We encourage presentations that share institutional strategies for increasing student persistence and completion outcomes, particularly those aligned with the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) criteria for continuous improvement. Sessions might include examples of how institutions are reframing student success metrics, supporting underserved populations, or showcasing faculty-driven innovations that strengthen classroom engagement while demonstrating measurable outcomes.
Proposals that emphasize the power of data—whether through comprehensive dashboards, longitudinal studies, predictive analytics, or cross-campus collaborations—are particularly welcome, as they provide insight into how evidence informs practice and drives institutional decision-making and advocacy. Above all, we seek contributions that not only celebrate successes but also foster dialogue for a shared path forward for New Mexico higher education.
