NCCEP National Conference
This national convening of GEAR UP project directors, college
access professionals, and business and community partners is coordinated
by the National Council for Community and Education Partnerships (NCCEP)
and is planned in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Education. The
purpose of this conference is to highlight the importance of K–16
education/community partnerships and the accomplishments of Gaining
Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP). The
conference also serves to facilitate the forging of new alliances among
K–16 practitioners; learning about other federal and foundation
sponsored college awareness efforts as well as other academic and
student support programs; and discovery of new ways to engage local
communities, businesses, and professional associations in the work of
GEAR UP partnerships. The conference is particularly relevant to
education practitioners, business leaders, and policy makers who wish to
learn more about creating and sustaining K–16 education
collaboratives that can help improve public education and promote
academic excellence.
We encourage all GEAR UP sites to bring students to the conference. For
