We hosted the 2026 DC Postsecondary Success Summit: Resiliency in Action on Friday, March 27th, 2026 at Trinity Washington University! The third annual Summit invited DC’s education, workforce, and community partners to meet the moment together. Amid shifting policies, emerging technologies, and changing resources, we gathered to strengthen collaboration, support our learners, and build a more connected and equitable postsecondary ecosystem. Our vision was simple: no matter the uncertainty around us, DC’s learners should have clear pathways, coordinated support, and adults who are ready to lead with purpose.

The Summit Experience

“This felt like one of the few spaces where people are being real about both the challenges and the possibilities.”

“Every session I attended was engaging, informative, and left me wanting to do even more.”

“I loved how intentional the time felt—especially sessions focused on supporting undocumented students.”

“The combination of sessions, resource fair, and networking made the experience incredibly valuable.”

Hearing directly from young people was one of the most impactful parts of the day.”

“This Summit owes me nothing!”
