Are you making plans to attend the Fall 2026 CAEPCon?

Don't forget to book rooms for your stay at the Crystal Gateway Marriott, the conference hotel, by August 14, 2026!

CAEP has secured a block of rooms at a conference rate, but you must reserve your room by August 14, 2026, to secure the discounted rate.

Also worth noting, while there are other hotels in the area, please keep in mind that this is an election year and the District of Columbia metro area will fill up quickly.

Is CAEPCon Right for Small Providers?

Nearly 40 percent of CAEP accredited providers are considered small with less than 50 completers a year, some less than 10 completers per year. Being a small provider means facing unique challenges. CAEPCon allows individuals from small schools to network with their peers, from small and large providers and make connections. Many staff from small providers have to wear many hats. CAEPCon allows them time to collaborate, get new ideas and support from CAEP staff and their peers.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

If our Christianity causes the abused to be ignored, the stranger to be unwelcome, kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, and our planet to be disregarded all while billionaires get richer, we've profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus' teachings.

Claiming to follow Jesus who was unjustly accused, arrested, and executed by the state, all with religious justification, and then passionately supporting the state without question as it aggressively goes after people has to be one of the most blatant contradictions in history.

[Chris Jones @JonesForAR]

We must all call for an end to this.

Congratulations @TennesseeTech, @MSUTexas, and @wgu on receiving accreditation!

Accreditation is quality assurance through external peer review. When an institution or specialized program is accredited, it has demonstrated that it meets standards set by organizations representing the academic community, professionals, and other stakeholders.
