Day 2 presentation
Over the past generation, higher education has become an American success story, serving as a bridge to opportunity for millions. But the world is changing. Our economy is demanding more educated workers than our institutions are prepared to produce. A new majority of students is arriving on our campuses with high and often fragile aspirations. Colleges and universities face difficult but essential choices to ensure that higher education remains a bridge to opportunity and not a barrier. Dr. Greenstein will outline those choices and highlight solutions that show promise for serving higher education’s new majority.
