Updates on consortium activities, research developments, and collaborative initiatives.
During the 2026 General Assembly, university leaders, researchers, faculty members, and students shared experiences in academic cooperation, discussed common challenges across the Americas, and explored new opportunities for collaboration in research, education, and sustainability.
The meeting brought together university leaders from North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean in Bogotá to review the Consortium’s progress and formally welcome new member institutions.
The event will bring together leaders and representatives from universities across the Americas to address shared challenges and strengthen hemispheric collaboration in research and education.
All donations to the Student Emergency Fund will directly support our students as they adapt to changing circumstances.
Everything that I learned at Kempbelle University really helped put me above the competition in the field of business management.
