Inside Higher Ed Editors Colleen Flaherty and Melissa Ezarik will lead the discussion, covering the quality and value of an undergraduate degree, academic success, student well-being and life after college. The webcast will answer important questions such as: – What do student success leaders say would boost academic success at their institution, and how well do these leaders say their institution is preparing students for life after college? – How strong is the institutional commitment to student success, as viewed by student success leaders? – According to student success leaders, which group do students trust most at their institution? (e.g. faculty, academic advisers, residence life staff, etc.) And which is the least trusted? – How concerned are student success leaders that the troubled rollout of the new FAFSA form will impact students’ ability to afford and stay enrolled at their institution?
