Positive Impacts of Bridge, Dual Enrollment, and Support Programs for All Students: Foundations for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
In the face of the pandemic and a decline in college enrollment numbers, it is now more important than ever to build bridges and create support systems for students. This webinar focuses on identifying the needs of diverse students and explores how to create equitable, inclusive approaches to use in the classroom by addressing access to technology, overall program funding, and tuition support along with employment while enrolled. A learner-centered academic approach benefits all students, but particularly under-resourced, underrepresented, and first-generation student populations.
Learning Outcomes:
- Participants identify and highlight best practices, polices, and frameworks for strategic, equitably-based approaches to allocating resources and building support programs for student retention/success.
- Participants create collaborative, community action plan frameworks to engage diverse stakeholders.
- Participants understand how diverse, equitable, and inclusive resources increase the capacity, retention, and bridge-building of learning communities.
