“The 2011 Academic Network Conference was perhaps the most informative and most helpful conference that I have attended. Each session was well done and the presenters provided valuable information. I walked away with operational and strategic tools that I could take back to my institution and immediately work with. I am truly looking forward to 2012.”

Dr. Michelle Garfield Cook , Interim Associate Provost, Office of Institutional Diversity 
University of Georgia
