Planning to submit an oral or poster presentation for the 2027 ACHA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia? This practical information session will walk participants through the submission process, including developing a strong proposal, completing the ACHA Smartsheet application, avoiding common pitfalls, and understanding what reviewers look for. An experienced ACHA Fellow and Student Health Center Director, joined by a representative from ACHA's Program Planning Committee, will provide guidance, answer questions, and help attendees prepare competitive submissions.

This session will explore tools such as the CCAPS and Clinical Load Index (CLI) to analyze student/client-level trends in mental health needs, treatment outcomes, and service capacity. Presenters will highlight how this data can be used to advocate for staffing, track performance, and shape student-centered services. This webinar is a part of the Data-Driven Decisions: Turning Numbers into Action for Campus Mental Health webinar series. Brought to you by the ACHA Health and Well-Being Executive Leaders Section.

This presentation highlights how Rutgers University supports students experiencing basic needs challenges through a holistic, student-centered model. Beyond food access at the Basic Needs Center, Rutgers offers housing support, financial guidance, technology resources, and case management to promote overall well-being. Participants will learn how integrated services, cross-campus collaboration, and compassionate practices reduce barriers, strengthen stability, and help students stay engaged and successful in their academic journey.
