The conference theme is This year's conference theme is Mentoring for Learning, Leadership, and Change in Adult Higher Education. The theme is based on the 2027 book co-edited by Kathy Peno, PhD, Elaine Silva Mangiante, PhD, and Rita Kenehan, EdD, which will be featured in the AHEA book series.Mentoring has long played an essential role in adult and higher education. It supports learning, strengthens professional identity, develops leadership capacity, and helps individuals and organizations navigate change. Although mentoring is often associated with formal programs and traditional mentor–protégé relationships, some of the most meaningful developmental experiences also emerge informally through professional relationships, collaborative communities, peer networks, role models, and opportunities to learn across disciplines, generations, and career stages.We will have presentations that have the potential to invigorate the field and address topics related to adult learners and adult higher education, as well as topics related to the theme.Cost: USF graduate students and faculty are free; all other graduate students are $165, and all other faculty are $325.00.
