Description of the Session

The student experience in higher education has evolved dramatically over the past decade. Even absent traumatic events such as Covid, changes in technology, the varying K-12 and family experiences pre-college, political interventions and more have altered the landscape of the student experience and of institutional approaches to meeting students’ needs, assuming they can be met!

In this session, we’ll explore three shifting campus environments and consider their impact on the student experience today and into the future. The three areas of focus and tension will be:

* The dramatic changes in the DEI climate and practices
* Ever increasing pressures to be more workforce development focused
* The implications for growing AI utilization throughout all aspects of student support.

Be prepared to show your cards, speak your mind and walk the talk!
