About the Conference
The Minnesota State Student Success and Planning Conference brings together staff from Minnesota State, University of Minnesota, and private Minnesota and Wisconsin institutions.
Since 2003, hundreds of professionals across many student and academic affairs areas who are involved with Degree Audit, Transfer, and Planning gather annually to support student success, increase completion, and improve transfer. Attendees collaborate around best practices, discuss policies, share applications updates, refresh technical skills, and more. Over the two-day conference, there are keynote speakers in addition to the large group and breakout sessions.
