Returning to Campus: What the Pandemic Taught Us About Student Success and What Leaders Will Be Doing Differently This Fall

Friday, Dec 13, 2024
The pandemic transformed how institutions served students: through profound loneliness and loss, practitioners worked to connect students with the resources they needed to persist and pursued opportunities to improve the virtual student experience.

About the Webinar

The pandemic transformed how institutions served students: through profound loneliness and loss, practitioners worked to connect students with the resources they needed to persist and pursued opportunities to improve the virtual student experience. In many cases, even the most skeptical campus partners were convinced that student success is about so much more than just what happens inside the classroom.

As institutions look to return to in-person operations this fall, campus leaders are grappling with how to make a smooth and successful transition. What pandemic-prompted changes will they stop or continue this fall?

Join us for a panel discussion on the pivot back to campus featuring leaders from our newly expanded Student Success Collaborative including institutions using Starfish and Navigate technology. We will explore their plans for serving students in-person after a turbulent year, their insights from piloting hybrid operations this past term, and what work they’re prioritizing in light of lessons learned this past year and a half.

Panelists include:

  • Radecka Appiah-Padi
    Assistant Vice-President for Learning Enhancement; Student Affairs & Enrollment Management
    HACC, Central Pennsylvania's Community College | Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
  • David R. Smith
    Associate Dean for Advising and Executive Director of Undergraduate Studies
    The Pennsylvania State University | State College, Pennsylvania
