Previous Attendee Experience 

“I found the summit very helpful because it was a supportive, collaborative, non-competitive environment where a lot of cross-disciplinary sharing was available,” said Henderson Vazquez. “Attendees were from different institutions, departments and stages of their careers, but their priorities were to be collaborative, student-focused and take risks when they are supported by evidence. The Higher Education Innovation Summit was vastly different than any other conference because of this.” - Teresa Henderson Vazquez, Higher Education Innovation Summit Attendee
