Through practical examples and reflection, attendees will explore how shifting from a "college-ready student" mindset to a "student-ready university" approach can foster belonging, strengthen engagement, and support student success. Participants will leave with concrete strategies for using asset-based language and designing more inclusive learning environments. This is an in person or virtual presentation.
