3. Starting the New Year Right: Listening to Students on Opening Day and Beyond
Student voices and experiences are a powerful asset when making your case for guided pathways and are crucial data when designing your college's guided pathways framework. But what are effective ways to engage students in guided pathways conversations and design? In this session, presenters will offer ideas for working with students and collecting data to inform your guided pathways efforts.
