Upcoming & Past UVP Meetings

The Association for Undergraduate Education at Research Universities (UERU) hosts two UVP Meetings annually, providing key opportunities for UERU leaders to connect and collaborate. These meetings rotate across different regions of the country and are hosted on the campuses of our member institutions.

Spring Meeting: Typically held in May or June
Fall Meeting: Typically held in October or November

Exact dates for each meeting are announced on the MyUERU Community and posted on the UERU Events Page once confirmed. Details about upcoming and past UVP Meetings can be found below.

The UVP Meetings typically begin on Tuesday afternoon with a UVP 101 session, designed for those new to the UVP role or UERU. This is followed by a welcome reception in the evening. Wednesday features a full day of engaging programs, with a half day of sessions on Thursday.

In addition to the main program, optional activities are available for further networking, including campus tours to explore local highlights and group dinners at local restaurants, providing additional opportunities to connect with fellow attendees.

These meetings supplement the ongoing monthly opportunities for online engagement and are specifically designed for UVPs. However, UVPs may designate or bring up to two senior team members from their institution whose participation will contribute to the program and further support their development as leaders in undergraduate education.
