Next is Now: The Evolving College Landscape

The Orange County Drug Free Coalition invites you to its 7th Annual Higher Education Conference, Next Is Now: The Evolving College Landscape.

Higher education is changing faster than ever—and the future is already here. Next Is Now: The Evolving College Landscape brings together educators, administrators, prevention professionals, and campus partners for a dynamic, forward-focused conversation on the emerging trends shaping today’s college experience.

This year’s conference will explore timely and complex topics including the role of artificial intelligence in higher education, the growing presence and perceptions of Kratom and Kava, and the evolving impact of social media, digital communication, and vaping on student health, behavior, and engagement.

Through expert speakers, real-world insights, and practical dialogue, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of what’s influencing students right now—and what institutions can do to respond with intention, innovation, and informed strategy.

Join us for our 7th annual conference as we look ahead, ask critical questions, and equip ourselves to navigate the next chapter of the college landscape—because next isn’t coming… it’s already here.
