Structures for Advancing Scholarship, Practice, and Policy Convening
Marriott Marquis, San Francisco, California
Thursday, August 1st, 2024
We can't wait to see you in San Francisco, California!
We are so excited to have you join us for this convening of early and mid-career scholars whose research contributes to improving the experiences, opportunities, and outcomes of racially-minoritized and structurally- disadvantaged groups in higher education and workforce contexts. Together, we aim to build relationships and share insights across disciplines to identify opportunities and structures necessary to effectively bridge research, practice, and policy that increase equity in postsecondary and workforce representation, retention, and achievement.

Planning Your Travel

Please plan to arrive by the evening of July 31 since the program begins 8:30 AM on August 1.
Arriving in San Francisco
Downtown San Francisco is served by two major airports. Either airport is a fine choice for travel to San Francisco, as both are on average a 35-minute drive away by car, or a 35-40 minute ride on BART (the San Francisco Bay Area’s metro system).
San Francisco International Airport
San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport
(formerly named Oakland International Airport)
EA will provide reimbursement for the cost of roundtrip economy class airfare to/from San Francisco. Please book your flights directly at your earliest convenience and use the form linked below to receive your reimbursement.
