2025 Midwest First-Year Conference

Join us for the 2025 annual conference on Friday, September 26th at Waubonsee Community College in Sugar Grove, Illinois! 

We are excited to welcome keynote speakers, Dr. Bryce D. Bunting and Dr. Dallin George Young, as we explore together the theme of Thriving Together: Building Support on Your Campus. In an ever-evolving landscape for higher education and its stakeholders, we will come together to discuss how can we continue to support students and colleagues alike, without losing the plot.

This regional one-day drive-in conference provides a forum for academic and student affairs professionals to share ideas, resources, and engaging pedagogy to enhance their instruction of first-year students.

Continental breakfast and buffet lunch will be provided. Parking at Waubonsee Community College is free. Further details will be emailed to registrants prior to the conference.
