Writing the Next Verse:
20 Years of Connection, Community, and Campus Care

For twenty years, AUCCCO members have helped colleges and universities create healthier campus communities through outreach, prevention, consultation, embedded services, education, and leadership.

As we gather in Nashville to celebrate AUCCCO's 20th anniversary, we recognize that collegiate mental health has entered a new era. Across higher education, there is growing recognition that student well-being is not the responsibility of any one office, program, or provider. Rather, it is the product of an interconnected campus ecosystem in which counseling centers, student affairs professionals, faculty, health promotion experts, administrators, and community partners work together to foster student success.

Writing the Next Verse reflects both our history and our future. It honors two decades of innovation and impact while challenging us to imagine what comes next. In a rapidly changing higher education landscape, outreach and embedded services are uniquely positioned to build bridges across campus, strengthen systems of care, and create the partnerships that help students thrive.

This conference invites participants to reflect on the programs and practices that have become our "greatest hits," share creative remixes that respond to emerging student needs, and collaborate on new verses that advance a more coordinated, proactive, and community-centered approach to campus mental health. Together, we will explore how outreach professionals can continue to amplify connection, strengthen collaboration, and contribute to resilient campus ecosystems that support students, faculty, and staff alike.
