2026 MTSU Student Success Conference

Every Office Matters: Campus-Wide Strategies for Student Success

Date: Friday, July 17th, 2026
Time: 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: College of Education, MTSU (, see parking information below)
Cost: FREE

Student success is not the responsibility of a single office—it is a shared institutional commitment. This conference brings together professionals across academic affairs, student affairs, enrollment management, finance, advising, records, and student services to explore coordinated, student-centered strategies that improve access, persistence, belonging, and completion.  

We invite faculty, staff, and administrators across all divisions to attend and/or submit session proposals for our upcoming Student Success Conference. This conference brings together campus partners to share practical, student-centered strategies that improve access, persistence, belonging, and completion.
