Join the ASSETS Exchange
The ASSETS Exchange creates opportunities for students, scholars, practitioners, and educational partners to exchange ideas about educational transitions, student development, and the practice of higher education. Some exchanges are structured around scholarship; others create space for candid conversation, professional connection, or ideas still taking shape.
Whether you want to share your work, bring a question to the table, or simply join the conversation, there is a place for you in the Exchange.
Research. Reflection. Real conversation.
Tea & Truths brings scholars, practitioners, and students together for thoughtful conversations about the research, realities, and sometimes uncomfortable truths shaping higher education. Come prepared to exchange perspectives, challenge assumptions, and think together about what our work means for students and educational transitions.
Bring the question. Let’s think together.
Office Hours offers an informal space to talk through research questions, emerging ideas, challenges in practice, or questions about educational transitions. Participants can bring a question, share a developing project, or join the conversation to learn alongside others.
Where the conversation continues.
Some of the best professional conversations happen after the formal meeting ends. After Office Hours creates space for candid, collegial conversations about higher education work, professional life, emerging issues, and the questions that do not always fit neatly into a presentation or meeting agenda.
