Achieving the Dream's unwavering dedication to students and equity has empowered higher education institutions across the country to become catalysts for access, momentum, and socioeconomic mobility. We are proud to be at the forefront of the student success movement, addressing the urgent need for improved access, retention, and credentialing for marginalized students and championing the critical role of community colleges in uplifting and transforming entire communities.

ATD's annual flagship event, DREAM, convenes thousands of practitioners from hundreds of institutions to exchange evidence-based strategies for advancing student success and equity. Join us this year in Philadelphia for DREAM 2025 as we collectively ignite new ideas and create lasting change.

Welcome

JOIN THOUSANDS OF INFLUENTIAL LEADERS, SCHOLARS, AND PRACTITIONERS from more than 300 colleges and organizations at Achieving the Dream (ATD)’s 21st annual signature event, DREAM 2025. ATD’s immersive in-person experience provides interactive learning and key insights about evidence-based reform strategies that are transforming higher education.
 

DREAM 2025 will center on four key themes that represent opportunities to effect meaningful change in our communities.

 

  • Access: to eliminate barriers and connect more community members to high-value educational opportunities at community colleges
  • Momentum: to address inequities that prevent timely progress through college and connection to workforce and transfer opportunities
  • Mobility: to provide economic security for students and their families, particularly BIPOC, poverty-impacted, and other marginalized communities
  • Community Vitality: to catalyze more equitable and economically vibrant communities and drive shared prosperity


We look forward to seeing you virtually at DREAM 2025!
