Annual COTA Conference 2025

The Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development (MDHEWD) and the Committee on Transfer and Articulation (COTA) will host the 2025 COTA Conference on March 7, 2025. The theme this year is “ Student-Centered Transfer Revolution: Rethinking Policies, Practices, and Partnerships” addressing challenges with respect to student transfer, collaboration, and institutional policy. 

Through this event we aim to support transfer professionals and their institutions in identifying institutional infrastructure impediments and offering insight into inclusionary practices for all transfer students. The conference is designed to guide attendees to think broadly and generously to remove barriers and support successful transfer across the state. As a participant, you will learn practical and research-based strategies as well as build connections. We encourage individuals from all functional areas at community colleges, universities, and other organizations to attend.

Join us at Camden on the Lake as we offer opportunities to enhance your expertise, engage with colleagues at the forefront of their fields, and consider ways to remove barriers that transfer students face in higher education.
