APC Colleges

It’s # NationalHigherEducationDay! Our goal is to provide students with the knowledge and motivation they need to succeed in both their professional and academic lives.

Thank you to the faculty and staff at each of our member institutions, our partners in government at the state and federal levels, and to every leader in Higher Education who advocates for the support needed to help ALL New Yorkers break down barriers and achieve greatness! 👏

With less than two weeks away from APC's annual Innovation Summit, we're thinking about the great speakers and presentations from years past. Check out the photos below!

This year, we will have expert guest speakers, APC member speakers, and panels addressing key areas, including topics like workforce development, navigating a regulatory environment, loan programs, student supports and more. We're also very excited to have Under Secretary Nicholas Kent of the US Department of Education join us for a fireside chat.
