Before beginning the ADL Program, I cannot say for certain I ever heard of EDUCAUSE, but here I am excited because I just received an email with the subject: “Now Available: 2022 Students and Technology Report”
“2022 Students and Technology Report: Rebalancing the Student Experience“
EDUCAUSE, 2022
How exciting is it that “rebalancing the student experience” is part of the title for this year’s report. Of particular interest to me is the section on student success. As I reflect upon my 3 Column Table and prepare for my UbD Template, I see several of the topics we have discussed throughout our program courses and research. It is justifying to see academic advisors and coaches listed as a success resource as reported by students. This provides support and validation to the opportunity posed through the course planning of these two activities. Students share several of the frustrations advisors feel when trying to help students navigate the terrain of higher ed and federal regulations with referral to overwhelmed resources across campus. There just have to be more innovative ways to connect students. The nonacademic circumstances outlined by the report are inline with my heart and my passions for helping students succeed. “Work/life balance” appeared on my 3 Column Table Assignment this past Saturday (10/01/2022) when I submitted my first attempt at outcomes planning with regard to advising. To see that very factor listed on the report issued today (10/03/2022) is just amazing.
We are catalysts for change.
We are changing lives.
I’m excited.
What did you read that made you want to push forward and fight the good fight?
