|
| Date & Time |
| Tuesday, May 25, 2021 • 2:00 – 3:30 pm ET |
| Overview |
Many lower-income students have been hit hard during the past year. Lack of access has hampered their learning and competing demands have created strains on their time and attention. Be prepared to offer support services to meet their needs, promote equity inside and outside of the classroom, and help to ensure their success. Whether they remain remote or return in-person ensure your lower-income students receive directed support, so they don’t fall through the cracks.
Join our expert presenter on Tuesday, May 25, 2021 as he shares insight into this concern and the initiative “Penn First Plus” that the University of Pennsylvania has created to address lower-income students’ needs. He will share methods to assess and address the current need on your campus, successful campus and system-wide initiatives to address the problem, wraparound approach to student support, and strategies for identifying vulnerable populations.
