"Showcasing Solutions, Producing Results"

April 15-18, 2009

Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, Hollywood, CA 

Process is important but results are what count. The 2009 ARC will focus on solutions that work - for enhancing learning, strengthening effectiveness, and supporting capacity across the entire campus - in good times as well as in challenging ones.

This is a conference for all of the educators on your campus, from administrators and faculty to student affairs and professional support staff. So save the date right now.

The scope of the ARC has broadened over the last few years, but our formula remains the same. Learn from colleagues and WASC staff about the latest on assessment, accreditation, educational technology, and national trends. Be inspired by our keynote speakers. Take advantage of the chance to network and visit with vendors. You'll see why the ARC has become the single most important higher education conference in the region.

Take a look at what attendees said about last year's ARC.

"ARC has become the best regional conference for educational effectiveness and best practices in quality and improvement. I wouldn't miss it."

"ARC is invaluable for getting the big picture, above and beyond campus politics."

"The breadth and scope of plenary, focused workshops and individual best practice reports from institutions together provided a learning venue that was conducive for effective intellectual and creative thinking. I can say that results will come from participation."

"The ARC is a gathering place for ideas, energy, and improvement to what we do that's unique to WASC. Attending has really saved a lot of time in creating our assessment program."

"The ARC has filled a void left in the wake of AAHE. It is consistently one of the most valuable conferences I attend.

"I truly enjoy the interactions, the dialogues, the networking and the fact every educational leader is looking to make our educational institutions a better place to serve our clients. Also I enjoy the vast variety of the workshops and the caliber of the material and presentations. The WASC team is doing outstanding service to the educational community and the community as a whole".
