Welcome to Orlando
WELCOME to a special 20th anniversary convening: DREAM 2024
Celebrating 20 Years of Progress — 20 Years of DREAM
DREAM 2024 will celebrate the two decades of Achieving the Dream’s collective commitment to students and equity, which has helped transform higher education institutions throughout the nation into drivers of access, momentum, mobility, and community vibrancy. On our 20th anniversary, we’re proud to stand exactly where we belong: where urgent attention to access, retention, and credentialing of minoritized and economically marginalized students is most needed.
As we gather in Orlando to choose transformation over tradition, curiosity over inaction, and innovation over status quo, we would like to respectfully acknowledge that DREAM 2024 will take place on lands and territories of the Ais, Apalachee, Calusa, Timucua, and Tocobago tribes as well as the Seminole Tribe of Florida and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida.
