Conference Information
For the past seven years, the Real College California Coalition, supported by the CEO Affordability, Food & Housing Access Taskforce, has brought together students, practitioners, and advocates to share high-impact practices that address the diverse challenges our community college students face.
Our next conference is scheduled for Friday, December 5th at Napa Valley College. This year’s Basic Needs Summit theme, Sustaining Hope: Meeting Student Needs in Uncertain Times, reflects our collective commitment to creating safe, equitable, and enduring support systems for students, even as higher education navigates political, financial, and social uncertainty. Our goal is to highlight strategies that empower campuses to provide stability, belonging, and pathways to completion.
