2026 Constitute in Charlotte, NC

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.

September 24, 25, & 26     For more information and to download the call for proposals at 2026 Constitute Home

Gen Ed Reformers Anonymous Support Group

The Gen Ed Reformers Anonymous Support Group offers AGLS members the opportunity to gather in a safe and supportive ‘cone-of-silence’ environment with like-minded colleagues from all over to discuss and tackle all things gen ed. In the past, we have explored broad issues of transfer, assessment, messaging, etc… and we will again dig into topics decided by the group as we go along. Hope you will join us for any/all of the meetings!

2026 events  (times listed will be eastern)
The AGLS Gen Ed Anonymous Support Group provides a safe, constructive, and collaborative opportunity for gen ed leaders to get together and tackle problems, celebrate successes, and connect with like-minded individuals about all things gen ed. Facilitated by various AGLS Council members, the meetings may start with a specific topic, but will likely go in a variety of directions.

Don’t worry at all about missing meetings (or parts of meetings). Come when you can and feel free to jump into the discussion… or just listen and learn, whatever works for you!

Schedule:   This year, we will have SIX total support group meetings: we will hold FIVE one-hour Zoom meetings and ONE in-person meeting during the Constitute itself.  The meetings rotate days in case you have standing meeting conflicts, but they are always at 3pm Eastern time for consistency and to accommodate our friends across the North American time zones.

Our 2026 offerings will be held as follows:

  1. Monday, January 26 at 3pm
  2. Tuesday, March 10 at 3pm
