Decoding the Decline: Understanding Why Fewer Students Choose College, and How to Win them Back
Year over year, we've seen high school graduation rates rise. However, over the course of more than a decade, fewer and fewer of those high school graduates have opted in to higher education. This decision not to pursue higher education, known as non-consumption, is a concern because it could worsen the effects of a declining population.
Roundtable

Roundtable
Preparing for the Impacts of Gen Z
Something—or someone—is different on campus. Higher ed leaders are seeing shifts in student mindsets and behaviors. Students are skeptical of the value of higher ed; mental health challenges are at an all-time high; and others are acting more like activist stakeholders, asking tough questions and making uncompromising critiques of institutional decisions and strategy.
