Drive-in Meetings

HECMA Drive-In Guidelines

HECMA Drive-Ins are opportunities for case managers around the country to gather and discuss topics relevant to the field of higher education case management. Drive-ins provide an additional opportunity for case management professionals to connect with other professionals in their area and share best practices. Drive-ins are designed to be excellent opportunities for institutional connections, focused conversations and professional development.
