2026 Student Success Summit - October 1 and 2, 2026

The Michigan Community College Association invites you to the 2026 Student Success Summit, Advancing Outcomes Across Every Role and Every Office taking place October 1-2 at the VanDyk Mortgage Convention Center in Muskegon. This year’s theme centers on a clear premise. Student success is a shared responsibility that spans every function of the institution. From first point of contact through completion and beyond, each role contributes to shaping student outcomes.

The 2026 Summit will focus on how colleges can strengthen alignment across offices to better support students at every stage of their journey. Participants will explore strategies that connect advising, instruction, student services, workforce alignment, and institutional leadership. Sessions will highlight approaches that reduce fragmentation, clarify pathways, and create more cohesive student experiences.

The Summit will feature keynote perspectives, facilitated discussions, and breakout sessions designed to support practical application. Attendees will engage with peers from across Michigan and beyond to exchange ideas, examine effective practices, and build stronger cross-functional partnerships. Join colleagues from across institutions and sectors to advance a shared commitment to student success and to move this work forward in a coordinated and sustainable way.
