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 was held on the campus of Oklahoma State University until 1995, when it was relocated to the University of Memphis. It then moved to Texas Women’s University in 1999, and came to UCA in 2001. This is the 13th consecutive year that UCA has hosted the conference.
