Supporting Adult Students Across Campus

December 16, 2011

Horizontal Tabs

Overview

Improve adult student success and retention with a new approach to support services and campus policies.

One of the most important things your institution can do to improve adult student success is to provide a network of flexible resources and support and create "adult-friendly policies."

Join us to learn steps you can take to identify and better utilize existing resources in ways that support adult learners. Showcasing the model developed at their own institution, our instructors will highlight best practices for a comprehensive, proactive, and intentionally designed adult-friendly campus.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This webcast will provide suggestions and recommendations for looking across campus to other functional areas that can make a difference in retaining adult students. Many campuses are decentralized in their adult student support, and so representatives from student, academic, and business services interested in adult programming in the credit, noncredit, and work-force development areas will benefit from exploring possible tweaks to current programs.

Agenda

Learning Outcome:

After participating in this webcast, you will be able to recognize cross-campus opportunities to build more adult-friendly networks.
