HESACV 2026

This year’s theme, Equity, Out Loud: Collective Leadership for Just Campuses, invites higher education and student affairs (HESA) professionals, scholars, and graduate students to come together in community to explore how our collective voices, stories, and actions shape more equitable and inclusive campuses. This year’s conference calls us to move beyond dialogue toward shared leadership and transformative practice, speaking equity into existence through collaboration, courage, and care.

This conference aims to engage and connect higher education and student affairs leaders across the Central Valley for professional development, community building, and advancing our commitments to social justice and equity across our campuses. HESA in the Central Valley provides higher education and student affairs practitioners and leaders the opportunity to present workshops, panels, and training sessions highlighting high-impact practices that support students' postsecondary success in the region. 

Registration is free and opens on January 15, 2026.

Conference proposal submissions will open on December…
