SEPTEMBER 12-15, 2021Increase your visibility among college access and success professionals during the
Council for Opportunity’s 40th Annual Conference, September 12-15 in Atlanta.
About the Council for Opportunity in EducationThe Council for Opportunity in Education (COE) is the only national organization dedicated to furthering the
expansion of postsecondary opportunities for low-income and first-generation students and individuals with
disabilities. COE’s work and advocacy has had a positive effect on millions of students across the nation, changing
the trajectory of their lives and impacting the U.S. workforce and economy for generations. Many prominent
leaders in Georgia and across the country are alumni of our programs including U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock,
U.S. Congresswoman Nikema Williams, ABC News Correspondent John Quiñones, and former NASA Astronaut
Jose Hernandez.
COE works with nearly 1,000 colleges, universities, and agencies to host college access and success programs
that help students overcome academic, economic, and social challenges, and other such barriers to college
completion.
More than 6 million students have graduated from college with the special assistance of TRIO programs— federally
funded access and success programs—Talent Search, Upward Bound, Upward Bound Math/Science, Veterans
Upward Bound, Student Support Services, Educational Opportunity Centers, and the Ronald E. McNair Post-
Baccalaureate Achievement Program.
An estimated 800,000 low-income students and students with disabilities each year receive tutoring, counseling,
mentoring, financial guidance, and other services as early as sixth grade through college graduation.
About the Annual ConferenceThe Council for Opportunity in Education holds its annual conference in a major U.S. city each year. This year,
due to the pandemic COVID-19, COE is convening a hybrid virtual and in-person event. Approximately 1,500
administrators, counselors, researchers, and educators involved with educational opportunity programs annually
invest in their professional development by participating in the conference. The Council has a strong base of
alumni who now work for educational opportunity programs themselves and also attend.
Reinvest in College Access and SuccessYour investment in COE’s 40th Annual Conference is an investment in America’s future. Your support allows the
Council to advocate for college access and success programs and draw attention to the plight of first-generation
and low-income students, students with disabilities, adult learners, and veterans attempting to prepare for,
succeed in, and graduate from colleges nationwide.
