The Human Touch in a Digital World: Our Roles are Essential
Registration coming Winter 2026
The ACUM Advising Conference is a free two-day conference open to all staff in advising and student support positions. Presenters and attendees will engage in dialogue about how elements of the conference themes show up in advising practice or personal and professional development for both students and advisors. We look forward to creating space to collaborate with colleagues from all of U-M’s campuses.
A special thank you to Perry Fittrer, LSA Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Education and Student Academic Affairs, and Angela Dillard, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, for sponsoring this year's conference.
