Listening to Learners:  Insights and Perspectives of the Post-Secondary Student Experience 

Join us for a thought-provoking webinar that delves into the experiences and expectations of post-secondary students. Based on a comprehensive survey of 1,600 students, this session will provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing a diverse set of students—including students of color, first generation students, and students who have experienced interruptions in their educational journey.

By comparing the perspectives of students to those of faculty, staff, and administrators, we will explore ways that institutions and organizations can better support students by focusing on a holistic educational support ecosystem.
