The ASHE Region 6 Education Committee is looking forward to hosting another great conference in 2026 and we would like to encourage you to submit an abstract to help define the breakout sessions for the 2026 ASHE Region 6 Annual Conference “Strength in Collaboration: Enhancing our Facilities for Tomorrow.” Collaboration and sharing are the heart of any successful education program.
