Conference Information

20^th Annual AAHHE Annual Conference

March 7-9, 2025
Metropolitan State of Denver
Denver, Colorado

Metropolitan State University of Denver

Metropolitan State University of Denver shares the Auraria campus with two other higher education institutions, the University of Colorado Denver and Community College of Denver.

The campus is located in the heart of the central business district and is in close proximity to Ball Arena, Elitch Gardens, the Colorado Convention Center, the Denver Performing Arts Complex, Larimer Square, and the 16th Street Mall. The reclaimed Callie Maher brewery, which closed in 1969, now operates as the Tivoli Student Union, housing the Tivoli Brewing Company and serving all 3 schools on campus.  In addition to its downtown location MSU Denver is less than an hour from the Rocky Mountains. 

Metropolitan State University of Denver was founded in 1965 as an opportunity school. By design, MSU Denver is required to be accessible to all, which is why it consistently has some of the lowest tuitions of four-year Colorado colleges and universities. Nearly 54% of the student body are students of color. We are excited to have them host our 20^th Annual AAHHE National Conference.

Conference Caucus Spaces

In alignment with AAHHE's movement to become more attentive to how subgroups of the Latinx/a/o/e community thrive in higher education related settings and in the association, we are hosting caucuses for the first time. These caucuses are intended to be informally facilitated discussions around identity groups (e.g., queer and trans people, Afro-Latinx communities) or topic areas (e.g., Hispanic-Serving Institution administrators, college access programs). These caucus spaces will be helpful in learning about ways to take the association into the next 20 years!

Please use the following form to share any requested topics of discussion and share if you would be willing to facilitate a caucus space: https://aahhe.memberclicks.net/call-for-caucuses.

Please respond by Friday, January 17, 2025, and reach out to [email protected] if you have any questions.
