The Florida Association for Student Success (FASS) is pleased to invite faculty, staff, administrators, and students from colleges and universities to the 2026 annual conference, taking place October 22–23 in Orlando, Florida.
This year's conference theme is "Dreams to Degrees: Advancing Student Success," and it celebrates the collective commitment of higher education professionals to helping students achieve their academic goals—from their first aspirations to graduation and beyond. Bringing together faculty, advisors, student affairs professionals, tutors, academic support specialists, administrators, and other student success practitioners, the conference provides an engaging forum for collaboration, professional learning, and the exchange of innovative ideas.
Participants will explore evidence-based strategies, emerging trends, and promising practices that promote student persistence, engagement, achievement, and completion.
Whether you work directly with students or help shape institutional policies and programs, you will leave with practical insights, meaningful connections, and renewed inspiration to advance student success on your campus. Join us as we learn from one another, strengthen our partnerships, and continue transforming dreams into degrees.
