ACE to Hold Inaugural Hill Advocacy Day Prior to ACEx2025

​ACE will host member presidents for its inaugural Capitol Hill advocacy day on Feb. 11 to kickstart the ACE Experience 2025 (ACEx2025), empowering members to engage with policymakers, share insights, and drive impactful change.

ACE on the Hill 2025 will bring together ACE member presidents and chancellors from across the country to engage directly with policymakers, advocate for the future of higher education, and gain insights into higher education policy at the start of the new Congress and the Trump administration.

The morning will feature remarks from ACE President Ted Mitchell and ACE's government relations staff, as well as panel discussions with congressional staff and remarks from members of Congress. Following a working lunch, attendees will spread out across Capitol Hill to hold meetings with their congressional delegations. The day will conclude with the ACEx2025 Welcome Reception.

ACE on the Hill attendees will bring the energy from their day of advocacy to ACEx2025, to be held Feb. 12-13 in DC. Designed for presidents and chancellors, ACEx2025 will be a transformative gathering that will integrate visionary leadership discussions, strategic advocacy efforts, and programming on critical national and international issues impacting higher education.
