                      help you identify the sessions that will be most relevant based on your
                      professional experience.

                            Foundational—For those new to the higher education field, and/or to the
                            particular area of practice or topic of a session. Foundational-level sessions
                            help participants gain and build understanding of new or less familiar topics.

                            Applied— For those with a robust understanding of a particular topic ready
                            to gain additional knowledge to be put to practical use. Many participants in
                            applied-level sessions have been in the higher education field for 5+ years.

                            Strategic— For those at a more senior level in higher education.
                            Strategic-level sessions are for those required to do strategic visioning, set
                            goals, and create strategies to meet those goals, and many participants
                            have been in the higher education field for 10+ years.

2019 UPCEA Annual Conference - Chicago, IL
Letter from UPCEA President

                                   Welcome to Seattle! Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your
                                   President this year. It has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I am
                                   looking forward to learning and engaging with you all at this incredible
                                   Annual Conference.

                                   I had the tremendous privilege of visiting all of UPCEA’s Regions this year. I am grateful
                                   to have personally met so many of you, and for the myriad ways that we worked
                                   together to elevate our profession. Many of you heard parts of my story this year,
                                   and I thank you for listening and for hearing with your hearts. I also thank you for
                                   the countless ways that you each see people—people like me—and their unique
                                   pathways, and then build innovative programs to meet them where they are. Thank
                                   you for opening the doors to our institutions for folks for whom doors may be heavier,
                                   more complicated, or seemingly inaccessible.
                                   UPCEA benefits us all in so many ways. It teaches us about our field. It encourages us to
                                   be leaders of the highest knowledge and character. It celebrates you as an individual
                                   for who you are and what you bring to the world, and empowers you to do the same
                                   for others. This association is growing and moving in incredible ways. This year, we
                                   engaged in strategic conversations around volunteer leadership and the future of
                                   our association. We elevated our focus on diversity and inclusion through a task force
                                   creating a framework to guide us into the future. We continued our intentional focus on
                                   alternative credentials and refined our thinking around the future of our students, our
                                   units, and our institutions. We continue our work on defining rubrics for our Hallmarks of
                                   Excellence in Professional, and Continuing Education. We engaged emerging leaders
                                   in new ways and brought together thought leaders at every level. We piloted our first
                                   joint “super” regional conference, which was a tremendous success.
                                   I have never been more proud to be part of this association than I am today. I look
                                   forward to this time together with you, and to seeing what great things come next.
                                   Thank you to the countless volunteer leaders and dedicated staff who strive to make
                                   our experiences as members robust and fulfilling. Thank you to the Annual Conference
                                   Advisory Committee for delivering to us our first sold out conference. Thank you to the
                                   UPCEA Board of Directors, and to my team at the University of Utah, who so patiently
                                   stood by and supported me throughout this year. Wishing all the best to our incoming
                                   President, Nelson Baker of Georgia Tech, who is a tremendous colleague and leader.
                                   May you each find something here in Seattle that will enrich you, your students, your
                                   units, and your institutions now and into the future. May you each do your part to
                                   build an infrastructure of opportunity across the lifespans of your students. As we
                                   grow and change, may we do so together, in connection to one another and to the
                                   communities we serve. May we convene courageous and inclusive conversations and
                                   may we build elevated lives together. All my best to you for an amazing conference,
                                   and for the future that you are shaping.

Letter from Incoming UPCEA President

                                   As the incoming president of UPCEA, I am honored to serve you and
                                   humbled to follow in the footsteps of peers who have made notable
                                   contributions to our field. For 104 years, UPCEA has engaged professional
                                   and continuing educators across North America, and beyond, to
                                   advance our common mission and bring transformational education to
                                   lifelong learners. As a member of UPCEA since 2004, I am proud to belong
                                   to this network of committed professionals, and I’m deeply grateful for the
                                   opportunities I’ve had to learn, collaborate, and grow.

                                   In these ever-changing times, we must be agile and innovative to be able to meet
                                   the needs of our learners, institutions, and communities. As the demand for learning
                                   continues to grow along our lifetime, both in careers and society, and the number
                                   of traditional college students declines, higher education faces new challenges.
                                   Having served these learners for decades, our units are on the forefront of this evolving
                                   landscape. With significant experience and our passion for lifetime education, we are
                                   ideally poised to take the lead in shaping the future of higher education.
                                   As we navigate change and guide our institutions to this new era of learning, UPCEA
                                   is an essential resource to us. As members of this collective, we will have the most
                                   success when we share our knowledge and align our passions to pursue common
                                   goals. It is also essential for us to engage across our campuses and articulate the
                                   needs of the learners we know so well, obtaining the expertise of our faculties in
                                   the engagement of new learning. We have an incredible opportunity to define the
                                   university of the future.
