Like white water rafting, leading general education requires agility, teamwork, and courage. This year’s conference invites bold ideas and practical strategies that help leaders steer through uncertainty, overcome institutional rapids, and chart a course toward innovation and student success. We invite proposals that examine how general and liberal education can be intentionally shaped, strengthened, and sustained under these conditions.

The Association of General and Liberal Studies is a community of practitioner-scholars that provides strategic, effective, and innovative support for peers engaged in the day-to-day work of general and liberal learning in 21st century higher education.

We are sure you will find a community of faculty, staff and administrators who are champions of general & liberal education in our membership. Our live virtual events, annual Constitute, and member-inspired resources will help the very new to general education as well as seasoned veterans.  Collaboration and engagement are our primary goals in every event we put on. You will become a part of this gen ed family very quickly.  Take a look around and join us for an upcoming event. We are sure you will find being involved beneficial and enjoyable.
