The pandemic has changed what students expect from their colleges. With an increased level of communication, transparency, and wraparound student services now becoming the norm, will colleges be able to continue to meet the demand?
We’ll find out when a panel of experts convenes for the virtual forum “What Does the Class of 2025 Expect from Colleges?” Join us as our panel reviews the changes in academics, financial aid, wellness, and basic student services brought about by the pandemic and whether the bar has been permanently raised, including such issues as:
- What services and practices should stay?
- What might be tapered as the Covid crisis recedes?
- How might budget capacity and employee burnout factor into planning and prioritization?
