What is the CHEC Conference?
This is an unusual conference, as it is planned collaboratively by and for the California State University system, the California Community Colleges, and the University of California system. Administrative leaders and professionals from campuses and system offices of all three segments of California public higher education convene to exchange ideas and share emerging best practices across the “business” of higher education. Our shared goal: improving performance, service, and outcomes.
