March 1-2, 2027 | Albany, New York
CICU’s 70th Annual Meeting in 2026 brought together campus leaders, policymakers, and partners in Albany for two days of meaningful conversation, connection, and action. As we reflected on seven decades of advocacy, we also focused on the future—addressing the challenges facing higher education and advancing solutions that protect student access and strengthen New York’s workforce.
From engaging discussions to a keynote conversation with former U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, the meeting underscored the collective impact of New York’s private, not-for-profit colleges and universities.
We are grateful to our members, speakers, and sponsors whose support made this milestone gathering possible.
