Respect Students’ Time: Flexible Higher Ed for Diverse Life Experiences

Now more than ever, students and families are shifting their focus toward the return on investment in higher education.

With prospective students shifting their focus, higher ed needs to be flexible to keep up with changing times.

Respecting students’ time and crafting strategies to meet different life experiences takes time, but it can be done.

Getting our student-centered conversation started is Anne Khademian, the Executive Director at The Universities at Shady Grove. Anne shares why higher ed needs to tailor educational opportunities to a student- centered approach and meet students where they are.
