2026 ACUM Advising Conference

The ACUM Annual Conference is a free, two-day conference for advising and student support professionals from the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses. This year’s conference, titled "The Human Touch in a Digital World: Our Roles are Essential," will be held virtually via Zoom on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 6th, and in person on Thursday, May 7th, in the Michigan Union. 


Join us for engaging presentations and conversations that highlight the importance of the human touch in an increasingly digital world, and how the digitization of education and the workplace has influenced our advising approaches and shaped our interactions with students and colleagues.


Registration for the conference will close on April 3, 2026. If you miss the registration deadline and would still like to attend, please email acum.avising.conference@umich.edu, and we will add you if we can.
