The central goal for all higher education institutions, be they public or private, two-year or four-year, is student learning. Because engagement is central to learning, a key question for institutions is whether they are engaging students and promoting their success. Join our three expert panelists as they discuss overcoming barriers to student success, strategies for involving students that lead to learning and an exploration of national and local assessment instruments designed to increase our understanding of our students' engagement and achievement.

Panelists:

• Betsy Barefoot, Co-Director, Policy Center on the First Year of College
  
• Patricia King, professor of Higher Education, University of Michigan
  
• George Kuh, Chancellor's Professor and Director, National Survey of Student Engagement, Indiana University, Bloomington
  
• Carolyn Sawyer, Moderator

Faculty, Student Affairs Professionals, Institutional Research Personnel, Academic Administrators, Learning Community Faculty and Administrators and New Student Seminar Instructors who care about improving the learning and success of undergraduates will benefit greatly from this teleconference.

Brought to you by Freshman Programs, Dean of Student Office-New Students Programs and the Faculty Development Center
