The Higher Education Collaborative Conference (HECC) is a community‑driven gathering created to strengthen collaboration, connection, and shared learning across institutions using Workday Student.

HECC began with a simple idea: bring together institutions across the country to learn from one another, exchange best practices, and build a supportive network of higher‑education professionals. What started as a small concept quickly grew into a movement powered by partnership, curiosity, and a shared commitment to student success.

Today, HECC brings together institutions, practitioners, and thought leaders who believe collaboration accelerates innovation. Our conference is built on three core values:

• Connection — creating meaningful relationships across institutions

• Collaboration — sharing knowledge, tools, and experiences

• Community — building a network that supports one another year‑round

HECC is more than an event. It’s a collective effort to elevate higher education through shared purpose and shared progress.
