Rethinking and Rebuilding Student Support

The world of higher ed has turned much of its attention to preparing teachers for the online classroom. But, how are colleges preparing to support their students in other aspects of their digital experience?

Specifically, how can student affairs, the registrar, advising, and financial aid evolve for the remote world of today, and for the post-Covid future? The Chronicle has gathered a panel of experts to explore the ways these offices can meet the needs of students in these unprecedented times.

  • How can colleges rethink and rebuild their support services to be responsive in the current environment?
  • How do support services need to change in the short- and long-term?
  • What lessons can be learned from the online shift and how can they translate back to the future return to in-person education?

Panelists include:

  • Vimal Patel, Senior Reporter @The Chronicle of Higher Education
  • Christie Kracker, Dean of Students and Campus Life, Susquehanna University
  • Theodorea Regina Berry Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning, University of Central Florida
  • Jared Tippets, Vice President for Student Affairs, Southern Utah University
