THIS YEAR’S THEME:
Celebrating a Multigenerational Campus
Possible topics can include: Assessment and Planning, Maintenance and Upgrades, Space Utilization, Sustainability, Technology Integration, Community and Culture, and Funding and Resources. By combining these strategies, you can effectively manage a campus with multigenerational buildings, ensuring they remain functional, sustainable, and vibrant spaces for the campus community. More detailed topic suggestions are available on the MiAPPA 2025 website.
Proposals should contain a minimum of two of the noted topics and align with the theme stated above. Priority will be given to submittals that include demonstrated successes (case studies) and innovations that offer inspiration and excellence in addressing key challenges. Proposals should showcase the portability of these successes. If you have a topic that will be of significant interest to the audience, but may not align exactly with the theme, you are still encouraged to submit your proposal for review.
