About NCAD: Established in 1941 by Schiller Scroggs and Henry Bennett of Oklahoma State University, the National Conference of Academic Deans is the nation’s oldest organization with programming focused on current issues and challenges in higher education administration.  The conference offers a refreshing departure from the crammed schedule of packaged seminars.  At the NCAD annual conference you will always find excellent programs supplemented by valuable corridor conversations with colleagues.
