A half-day forum offered as part of the TG Annual Conference
Wednesday, April 7
1:30 - 5 p.m.
AT&T Conference Center, Room 301
University of Texas at Austin
(northwest corner of MLK and University Ave.)
This high-engagement forum aims to increase participants' knowledge of trends, policies, best practices and resources on postsecondary student persistence, with a particular focus on improving college completion for low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented students. The session takes a regional and collaborative approach to addressing college persistence and will include an overview of current research and policy trends, students' and practitioners' perceptions of effective programs, and ways to build partnerships that can lead to success. Much of the dialogue will center on how institutions and nonprofits can share resources and information to maximize persistence including:
- Creating/clearing communication channels
- Coordinating crisis intervention and support
- Examining financial aid policies beyond the freshman year
- Exploring pilot projects
This session is open to TG Conference attendees as well as representatives from the K-12, P-16, higher education, nonprofit, and philanthropic communities. There is no cost to attend, but attendees must register in advance. To register, please complete the information below.
The AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center is located downtown on the northwest corner of Martin Luther King Boulevard and University Avenue, at the south entrance to The University of Texas at Austin.
