Create An Access & Enrollment Pipeline To Overcome Barriers

Rural populations often feel ostracized and marginalized from and in higher education spaces because institutions may not be prepared to support their access, enrollment, and degree attainment.  It is imperative that institutions break down barriers to their success. 

Create programs and initiatives that provide the critical foundation needed to help rural students – who face the lowest college enrollment and attainment rates – so they can engage and thrive on your campus. 

Our expert presenter offers a crucial review of quantitative statistics and qualitative data that depict what “rural” really looks like in America. He shares effective rural recruitment and intentional retention strategies so you can better design programs and initiatives to become an institution that effectively serves rural students.
