2026 Student Panel Moderated by Dr. Deborah Harrington

Our morning general session on Thursday, October 8, features a panel discussion with current and former students from California community colleges. The panel will share stories from their educational journeys and offer practical insights into what helps students be successful and confident.

This session will help you reconnect with students, refocus your mission, and revolutionize your campus to create environments where students thrive, educators feel renewed, and institutions evolve with purpose. You will be uplifted, motivated, and empowered.

The panel will be moderated by Dr. Deborah Harrington, Executive Director of California Community College Success (3CSN).
