The Anchoring Higher Ed Conference is a one-day convening that gathers scholars, instructors, students, researchers, and community members to share their work and insights on teaching, learning, and community engagement in and around the academy. It reflects our mission as an anchor institution, in and of the City of Newark, and demonstrates a commitment to access, transformative learning, and radical inclusion.
