UERU Events

National Conferences feature speakers who are nationally recognized for their leadership in R1/2 undergraduate education. These meetings focus on critical challenges research universities face, such as promotion of meaningful diversity, inclusion, and equity; student success; learning and assessment of learning outcomes; building collaborative partnerships; innovative uses of technology; general education/core curriculum reform; academic advising; etc.

This year’s conference theme -- Elevating Holistic Student Success: Enrollment Management to World Readiness -- challenges us to envision comprehensive systems that align with and support student learning and growth. It invites us to consider quantitative and qualitative measures of student success, and to address the entire spectrum of undergraduate education, spanning from recruitment and bridge programs to proactive advising, curriculum innovations, and world readiness.

The Association for Undergraduate Education at Research Universities (UERU) holds Undergraduate Vice Provost/President (UVP) Meetings twice a year at member institutions across the country. In the Spring of 2025, it will be held in Massachusetts and co-hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. 

These meetings provide UERU leaders with opportunities for in-person engagement and often feature specialized colloquia. The UVP Meetings foster collaboration and address critical challenges in undergraduate education, promoting diversity, inclusion, student success, and innovative practices. Participation is restricted to UVPs, their designees, and/or one additional senior-level colleague.

UERU will be participating in the 2025 National Student Success Conference (NSSC), Empowering Tomorrow’s Graduates: Unleashing Potential through Adaptive Strategies. The conference is hosted by the Florida Consortium of Metropolitan Research Universities.

The NSSC brings together higher education innovators, thought leaders, and practitioners from across the nation to uncover and share their innovative approaches that helps to not only remove the barriers that slow or halt student progression but enrich the student experience, leading to the ultimate student success—graduation and career achievement.

UERU is sponsoring the 8^th annual Mentoring and Advising Summit, hosted by the University of Pittsburgh. During this virtual summit, participants will engage with and learn about specific tools, techniques, theories, and concepts to support undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdocs as they chart goals, develop enduring networks, and sustain their pursuit of success after graduation. These aims are important as together, we work to make our institutions of higher education more dynamic and inclusive places for everyone, most especially for at-promise student populations including first-generation, income-eligible, underrepresented minority, exploratory, transfer, rural, international, and those in need of academic intervention.
