Generational Shockwaves: Today's Students and Economic Uncertainty
Whether students apply, enroll, and stay enrolled in colleges and universities has never been more important - not only to the students, but to the financial health of American higher education.
On March 24 at 2 p.m. Eastern, Kenneth Redd, director of research and policy analysis for the National Association of College and University Business Officers, will lead an audio conference on how today's college students differ from previous generations in their decision making, and how the current economic downturn may affect their choices in the months and years ahead. Redd will draw on information from his contribution to Generational Shockwaves and the Implications for Higher Education, just out from the TIAA-CREF Institute and Edward Elgar Publishing.
This audio conference is ideal for senior administrators, finance and budget officers, admissions officers, enrollment managers, student affairs officers, academic affairs officers, and deans.
The Generational Shockwaves: Today's Students and Economic Uncertainty audio conference costs $199 for a single phone line. Listen yourself or with a group around a conference table.
