  • 53rd Annual SAEOPP Conference

    Thank you for preparing a proposal for SAEOPP Fifty-Three: "TRIO Diamond Jubilee" in New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA) February 2nd – February 5th, 2025 at the Ritz Carlton. SAEOPP invites you to share your knowledge, experience, and expertise with hundreds of colleagues who, like you, are committed to helping underserved communities succeed! SAEOPP is seeking creative, informative, and relevant proposals to engage educators who work in the College Access and Success Industry.

In instances where similar workshop proposals are submitted, we might ask presenters to collaborate and offer a single workshop.

After the review period, the Conference Committee will select highly rated proposals. Notifications regarding your proposal status will be sent by mid-December. Workshops will be presented on Monday, February 3rd and Tuesday, February 4th.  SAEOPP thanks you in advance for contributing your time and knowledge.
