SUMMARY:Supporting Modern Learners: Real Examples from College Campuses
DESCRIPTION:Modern learners are juggling more than ever—work\, family responsibilities\, financial pressures\, and constantly shifting expectations of what college should provide. Institutions know they need to adapt\, but the path forward isn’t always clear. \n\n\n\nJoin the Trellis Strategies and the Trellis Foundation teams in this webinar to explore real\, replicable examples from institutions successfully supporting today’s students. We’ll highlight innovative practices that improve retention\, reduce barriers\, and create a more responsive learning experience. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will highlight the Caring Campus initiative led by the Institute for Evidence-Based Change (IEBC) which provides coaching for faculty and staff to implement research-based behaviors that increase student connectedness\, leading to increased student success. \n\n\n\n\n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\nJesus Perales\, Program Officer\, Trellis Foundation \n\n\n\nDr. Christy Ponce\, President\, Temple College \n\n\n\nDr. Kristina Ramirez Wilson\, Chief of Performance Excellence and Strategy\, Texas A&M University Kingsville \n\n\n\nKen Sherwood\, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President for Caring Campus\, Institute for Evidence-Based Change \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Slides\n\nView Recordings
