Kick-off your Annual Conference experience the right way!
The NCCEP/GEAR UP Virtual Annual Conference is scheduled for July 19th – 21st. Each day, ahead of our plenary speakers, join your colleagues in an exploration of GEAR UP relevant topics and priorities. Our Annual Pre-conference sessions will take a deep dive into mental-health and well-being, navigating financial aid, GEAR UP orientation, and more!
