Description

ASCA is excited to invite you to the 2025 Donald D. Gehring Academy being held at the Detroit Marriott Renaissance Center!

The Gehring Academy is an intensive program designed for participants to learn through a competency-based model. Unlike a traditional conference, the Academy offers multiple tracks for specific training needs and participants select one topic of immersive experiential learning. 

The track topics for the 2025 Donald D. Gehring Academy are:

• Case Management (in partnership with HECMA)
• Expressive Activity and the First Amendment
• Managing Title VI and Related Issues
• Mary Beth Mackin Foundations of Professional Practice: Early Career Professionals
• Mary Beth Mackin Foundations of Professional Practice: Seasoned Professionals Newer to Conduct
• Restorative Justice
• Senior Student Conduct Professionals
• Sorority and Fraternity Life Misconduct

***If a track is full you may email the Central Office at asca@theasca.org to be added to the waitlist.***
