Join higher education and civic leaders on Monday, August 31 at 1 p.m. for a webinar celebrating the 130th Anniversary of the Morrill Act of 1890, which designated 19 Historically Black Colleges and Universities with land-grant status.

The celebration will kick off the week of August 24 and conclude with this celebratory webinar. The webinar will be a chance to participate in a discussion of the legacy and future importance of the 1890s, led by 1890s leaders, policymakers, and others. Follow this link to learn more.

“As a child I participated in a theatrical production about fire. The production has three movements. At one point we danced around a pile of TVs on stage to represent a large bonfire. Later we were asked to escape a burning building. When asked what I would take from my home in a fire I quickly answered car keys. Apparently at 8-years-old I was going to drive away from that burning mess.” – Tony Staubach, Extension Educator, Hamilton County

For the first time in their 133-year history, the APLU Annual Meeting will be held virtually, from November 9-11, 2020. With the uncertainty of the ability to meet in-person this fall, they have decided an online environment will give everyone the best chance to share strategies, discuss emerging issues, highlight important efforts, and network with public university colleagues from across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
The APLU Annual Meeting is the premier gathering of senior leaders from public research universities, land-grant institutions, and state university systems. No other meeting in higher education brings together such a diverse array of public university presidents, chancellors, and other senior leaders. The theme of this year’s APLU Annual Meeting is Resilience & Equity. The Annual Meeting will include several keynotes, interactive and engaging concurrent sessions, and, of course, time to network with colleagues.
Please save November 9-11, 2020, registration will open in September. Follow this link to learn more.
