NCHEP 15 calls the higher education in prison field to move beyond celebrating entry points and toward examining the integrity, depth, and potential of education during incarceration. In this time of shifting policies, funding challenges, and evolving student needs, sustainability means more than survival; it must reflect equity, accountability, and long-term impact. This theme challenges us to consider how to build coordinated systems, scalable practices, and shared responsibility within and beyond the classroom.
For the first time, NCHEP will be held in a convention center, opening doors for a new kind of conference experience.
The Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland, OH will be the site of the majority of NCHEP programming. We will also be partnering with nearby hotels to offer NCHEP attendees discounted rates in conference room blocks. We highly recommend waiting to book your hotel room until registration opens so that you will have access to these discounted rates.
More information about the topic tracks and conference presentation formats are included in the Call for Proposals.
At NCHEP, you’ll connect with a dynamic field of educators, nonprofit leaders, practitioners, corrections professionals, and students—both currently and formerly incarcerated—who are leading the charge. This conference extends beyond academic frameworks to collaboratively build a future where the field of higher education in prison provides real hope and opportunity, and also drives real-world change at a time when the stakes have never been higher.
Join us in Cleveland, and together, we will expand and strengthen the network that ensures every learner has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their circumstances.
