What is the UL Student Success Symposium?

The University Life Student Success Symposium is the division’s annual signature professional development experience. This event is an opportunity to connect with colleagues, to engage in topics important to our work, to evolve our professional practices, and to learn more about the impact of our colleagues’ contributions as we strive for student success.
