ACT’s Center for Impact and Learning team works to provide a variety of learning and networking opportunities. This page includes upcoming events, links to past events you may have missed, and speaking engagements where you can hear from the Center staff.

The Center provides space for deeper conversations virtually and in-person to highlight success strategies, promote impact infused research solutions, and engage with high impact organizations and leaders to discuss how to support all individuals, including students of color, first-generation students, families with economic challenges, and exceptional learners. These activities include webinars, Facebook Lives, and regional, state, and national conferences.
