Description
Yield Higher Participation in Co- & Extra-curricular Activities to Increase a Sense of Belonging
Programs and services designed for traditional undergraduate students don’t always meet the needs of graduate and professional students on the same campus. This can leave graduate/professional students feeling unseen, undervalued and excluded.
Graduate and professional academic program structures can be significantly different than undergraduate programs, and programs, services and processes that don’t acknowledge this fact are not set up to meet the needs of graduate and professional students.
Prepare Now:
Our expert presenters will help you meet the broad success needs of this rapidly growing and diverse student population. You’ll be better able to place intentional focus on understanding the often-unique needs of graduate and professional students and deliver programs, services and amended processes that align with the expressed needs, so you can yield higher participation in co- and extra-curricular activities and significantly increase the sense of belonging that students experience.
Take Action:
Gain crucial, actionable takeaways that will help you:
- Develop a better understanding of post-baccalaureate students and institutional settings – fine-tune programs, services and processes that effectively meet the needs of graduate and professional students.
- Broaden awareness of graduate and professional student needs and where they differ from undergraduate needs – help your graduate and professional students feel seen, valued and included.
- Identify campus partners and strategies for advocating for graduate and professional student needs depending on campus dynamics – build skills to develop approaches for successful graduate and professional student services and their full engagement in the institutional experience through a variety of functional areas (orientation, advising, activities, etc.)
