2020 College Changes Everything Conference
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the parameters of the recent Restore Illinois regional, five-phase plan to reopen Illinois, we will not be hosting the July 9th in-person College Changes Everything (CCE) Conference®.
As we all continue to adapt, plan, and respond to the new challenges brought by the pandemic, we are working to determine how we might best provide sessions and speakers to support efforts across the state that promote college access and success and career readiness for students. As more details are available, this website will be updated accordingly. Please check back periodically. Questions about the conference can be directed to isac.collegechangeseverything@illinois.gov.
