Earlier this year, Inside Higher Ed presented a webcast that explored 1) public perceptions of higher education’s value and 2) attempts to redefine value in ways that center access, completion and student success.

Turns out, there was a lot to say. So we’re continuing the conversation with another webcast. We’re leaning into student success this time around because there’s so much happening in this space across higher education.

Join Inside Higher Ed Senior Editor Colleen Flaherty and a panel of higher education experts for a thoughtful discussion on efforts from policymakers and colleges that reflect a broader commitment to centering value in higher education and to growing public trust and confidence in the role colleges and universities play in expanding opportunity.

Among other ideas, we’ll discuss:

State and federal policy initiatives and ideas that center student success and measurable outcomes for students
College- and university-level efforts and ideas for promoting student success, across its dimensions
How Louisiana is boosting entry-level math course completion rates
Why campus leaders in Texas are warming to a new performance-based funding model
How colleges and universities are helping to demystify the transfer process
Strategies for re-enrolling stopped out students

Prior to the webcast, make sure to download and explore the newly-published booklet.

Wednesday, December 4 | 2 p.m. E.T.
