Theme: Student First: Rethinking Support Systems, Campus Life, and Academic Success in African Higher Education Institutions

The Convening theme emphasizes the need for higher education institutions to place the student at the center of institutional transformation by strengthening support systems, enhancing campus life experiences, and aligning academic pathways with holistic student success. This year’s Convening will bring together higher education leaders, practitioners, and partners to share insights, co-create strategies, and advance a student-centered approach to higher education across the region.
