Morning Session: 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Afternoon Session: 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
This interactive session will provide higher education leaders with the tools and strategies necessary to advance access, opportunities, and outcomes within their institutions. Grounded in the principles outlined in the soon to be released NADOHE guide: Rooted in Mission and Values: A Guide for Advancing Access, Opportunities, and Outcomes in Higher Education that will be provided to participants, this session will encourage attendees to reflect on their institutional missions and values while actively engaging with practical steps to achieve inclusive excellence through improvements to institutional functions and operations.
Workshop capacity is capped at 100 people. Please register early to ensure your seat. Workshops with less 20 registrants are subject to cancellation. Registrants will be notified by February 05, 2026 if the morning or afternoon workshop is to be cancelled or is sold out. If this is the case, registrants will be given the option to move to the alternate workshop. Fees will be refunded if the alternate workshop time is not available or not feasible for the registrant.
Accessibility and Dietary Accommodation
NADOHE seeks to create a conference experience that is inclusive, welcoming, and accessible for all conference attendees. There is a space on the conference registration form where dietary and accessibility needs can be indicated.

Notification via the registration form and/or to annualconference@nadohe.org by January 14, 2026 for accessibility accommodations and February 25, 2026 for dietary accommodations will allow adequate time to ensure your needs are supported.

Media Attendance and Inquiries

Attire/Comfort
NADOHE does not have a formal dress code or policy for annual conferences. Our members are leading voices for current and aspiring diversity leaders, and we honor their expertise to decide what is appropriate and professional attire. Conferences are unique opportunities to increase the possibilities for not only setting industry standards for relevant scholarship, but also exemplifying standards of practice. So rather than prescribe instructions on what to wear at our conferences, we invite attendees to incorporate traditional and/or cultural attire, consider local climates and cultural contexts, and prioritize comfort. Our desire is for each attendee to look and feel great about serving as preeminent voices for diversity officers in higher education. Above all, we want our attendees to choose attire that represents their individual styles and makes them feel confident to maximize the opportunities for development. Therefore, NADOHE welcomes all to dress for learning in a laboratory of scholarship, participating in meaningful professional development, and building solidarity within our community.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellations must be made in writing and sent to annualconference@nadohe.org and are subject to a $150 cancellation fee. Cancellation requests received after February 11, 2026 and conference no-shows are ineligible for refunds. Conference organizers will issue refunds within 45 days of the request. If the conference is canceled by NADOHE, a registrant may elect to defer their registration fee to the following year (with protection against any increase in registration pricing) or receive a refund. Please note that registrations are non-transferable.
