Established in 1941 by Schiller Scroggs and Henry Bennett of Oklahoma State University, the National Conference of Academic Deans (NCAD) is the nation’s oldest organization dedicated to addressing current issues and challenges in higher education administration. The annual conference offers a refreshing alternative to tightly packed seminar schedules, creating space for both high-quality programming and meaningful connection. Alongside engaging sessions, NCAD is known for its valuable “corridor conversations,” where academic leaders exchange ideas, share experiences, and build lasting professional relationships.
