Division J Fireside Chat: Addressing Equitable Student Support Across Marginalized College Student Populations

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

The purpose of this session is to facilitate a dialogue on student support in higher education across different social groups and identify opportunities for education policy, curriculum and teaching to provide equitable support for all students. In an interactive panel discussion, this session will explore marginalized student experiences navigating institutional spaces, discuss current concerns with the support of disadvantaged students in higher education, and facilitate a discussion on opportunities for changes in education policy, curriculum and teaching that sustain quality leadership and provide access to high-quality educational experiences for all. Participants will leave with perspectives from a variety of higher education scholars who study and/or work with these student populations to better inform their own views and practice.
