2025 CUWFA Conference
April 29-May 1, New York, NY

The Future of Work-Life: Strategically leveraging our role in an evolving higher education workplace

As we gather for the 2025 CUWFA conference, we celebrate not only the 30th anniversary of our organization but also the remarkable evolution of the Work-Life profession. It is an evolution that has seen the profession grow into a critical component of institutional success. This milestone presents the opportunity to reflect on our journey, assess the shifting landscape of higher education, and explore the opportunities that lie ahead as trusted partners and leaders in shaping our future workplaces.

This conference is co-hosted by Columbia University and New York University (NYU) and will be two-full days of exciting sessions and engagement opportunities.

Looking Back: The Evolution of Work-Life

The first day at Columbia will involve a dynamic look back at the history of Work-Life and examine the current state of the field.

Re-imagining the Future: Leading Change that Elevates Work-Life Within the Priorities of Higher Ed

The second day at NYU will look toward the future of Work-Life and how we can strategically position our work to have the greatest impact in the years ahead.

Dates: Tuesday, April 29 (opening reception) - Thursday, May 1

Note – The conference planning committee is working diligently on securing lodging and ground transportation for the event. In addition, we will soon offer a “call for proposals,” with two ways to present information at the conference. More information to come.
