Illuminate 2025: Delivering Value Together
Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel
June 10 – 12, 2025
Is college worth it? It’s not a new question. But as financial, political, legal, and social pressures encroach upon our profession, it’s joined by another: Is the work worth it? We believe the answer to both remains a resounding yes.
Common App members, join enrollment leaders and admissions professionals—be part of this meaningful discussion.
Our keynote speaker, Professor Tressie McMillan Cottom, is a celebrated sociologist, cultural critic, and award-winning writer. Careful and poetic, Dr. Cottom explores the everyday culture of big ideas like racism, sexism, inequality, and oppression by giving us the language to live better lives. As a fierce advocate for expanding access to education, we are honored to welcome Dr. Cottom.
