What makes a college credential valuable to students today, and are institutions delivering? Drawing on expert perspectives and a year’s worth of insights from Inside Higher Ed’s Student Voice: Amplified survey and reporting series, this discussion will explore how undergraduates are thinking about the return on their college experience—academically, financially, as individuals and in preparation for life after graduation. 

The webcast will take a wide view of student success but ultimately focus in on three factors reshaping the value of a credential to students: the rise of artificial intelligence on campus, the hidden and visible burdens of college costs, and the urgent student demand for work-integrated learning.
