The SOCHE ED 2016 theme is Building Bridges. Our theme symbolizes the work we do together to strengthen our campuses, and also one another professionally. This year's conference will focus on the importance of identifying biases, addressing institutional blind spots, and adapting to the changing demands of the 21st century classroom. Like in the past, SOCHE ED will bring together academics, administrators, staff, and students from community colleges, public and private colleges and universities. Together, we will Build Bridges  through the exchange of ideas, engaging conversation, and critical reflection on how we each contribute to the success of our campuses and, ultimately, the success of our students and graduates. 

The Dayton Art Institute will once again provide an inspirational setting for Ohio's largest higher education conference of the year. We hope to see you there!
