Current and Emerging Issues in Access and Equity

Short Version (Annual Meeting Program)
The only constant in our higher education landscape is change! Join your peers for a discussion of current and emerging issues related to student access and equity in our institutions. Our focus will be on barriers faced by students accessing postsecondary institutions and what schools are doing to improve access, success, and completion using a broad lens. Learn how colleges become “student ready,” and gain ideas that you can use at your institution.

First Learning Outcome: Participants will gain broad knowledge about the barriers faced by underserved populations accessing postsecondary education. Participants will learn about the services that must be in place to serve our changing demographic with expanded need. 

Second Learning Outcome: Participants will learn why a collaborative approach with a broad section of your college community is necessary.

Third Learning Outcome: Participants will learn how colleges work to create a college that is “student ready,” and gain ideas that they can use at their institution.
