NOSS-MI Fall Conference 2025
October 17, 2025
Lansing Community College West Campus's Auditorium
For the 2025 fall conference, NOSSMI decided to have a combined conference with another Michigan higher ed group called ACPA-MI (American College Personnel Association, Michigan Chapter). We agreed on a new theme for the combined conference. We think it's going to be a great conference collaboration with possibly up to 200 faculty, staff, and administrators from all around Michigan. Here is the new theme!
For this year's conference on Friday, October 17, 2025, we booked a wonderful speaker, Dr. Robin Isserles, a community college educator, researcher, and author who has had decades of experience as a practitioner in the CUNY system in NYC.
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Robin Isserles
Book (Amazon Link): The Costs of Completion: Student Success in Community College
