SPRING 2025 CONFERENCE
AHEAD in Texas -Building Bridges and Breaking Barriers
March 31 – April 2, 2025
El Paso is our host city, and the conference will be on the campus of University of Texas at El Paso – UTEP campus.
AHEAD in Texas focuses on fostering collaboration, connection, and understanding across higher education to support students with disabilities. As Disability Services professionals, we continue to bridge gaps—not only between Disability Services and faculty/staff—but also between students’ expectations and the realities of transitioning to college. We are so glad to have you all join us this year to connect with fellow professionals and refine our practices to stay ahead of the changing needs of our diverse student population.
