About this conference
The 2026 Conference on Learning and Student Success (CLASS), hosted by the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), addresses profound questions about higher education's value and purpose.

It aims to reimagine undergraduate education by showcasing educators exploring new approaches and upholding proven practices.
