Upcoming Webinars

Join us for a discussion on how we can work together across higher education to create more equitable outcomes for students.  You will hear from industry leaders about issues that are arising due to the current pandemic and strategies to help overcome these challenges.

More than 36 million Americans​ have attended college but have not finished their intended degree, creating a completion crisis with massive implications for social and economic mobility. Since workers without degrees are often the most likely to lose their jobs during economic downturns — and the last to be hired in an upswing — college completion is likely to have an outsized employment impact during the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The past months have been challenging. Over a very short period, the world changed completely and plans that were made months or even years ago might not be an option anymore. In this webinar, Mark Salisbury from TuitionFit and Maurice Benson from ReUp Education will discuss COVID-19’s impact on enrollment in higher education and suggest ways to increase enrollment.

Students experiencing acute symptoms of mental illness while enrolled in college often need to take a medical leave from school to focus on clinical treatment. While medication and therapy can be important to someone’s clinical stability and well-being, there are other practical tools and resources students need to return to school successfully. This session will look at how higher ed institutions can provide more resources to their students on mental health medical leave and how to help them successfully return and graduate.

Featuring:

• Michael Horn, Author – Co-founder of Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation and Senior partner at Entangled Solutions

• Katy VanVliet – Head of Coaching Services at ReUp Education

• Andrew Lyle – Director of Partnerships ReUp Education

Working with over 150,000 stopped-out students, ReUp Education will share the top reasons students cite for leaving college before finishing, and the top motivations returning students have for coming back to complete.

Featuring:

• Evan Pauken – Director of Retention and Completion, Kalamazoo Community College

• Zack Avshalomov – Head of Product, ReUp Education

• Nate Rowe, Director of University Partnerships, ReUp Education

In addition to identifying causes of declining enrollment, we will surface solutions to addressing this crisis – including strategies for identifying, engaging with, and providing support to stop-out students.

This webinar explores the dropout crisis, specifically in the context of identifying how to approach the Forgotten Students—a unique population, often comprised disproportionately of underrepresented groups—to re-enroll, transition back into school, complete their degrees, and realize their potential.

This free webinar is sponsored by ReUp Education and is a part of NACAC’s Industry Insights webinar series.

Each year, over a million students drop out of college or university-some 31 million Americans in the last two decades. In fact, only 48.3% of first-time, full-time students at public universities graduate within six years, prompting academic leaders, like Arizona State University President Michael Crow, to dub this a “completion crisis.”
