Your August EAB Briefing Round-Up

Your August EAB Briefing Round-Up

Greetings!

School is officially back in session, and we’re looking forward to seeing what the academic year brings. We know that supporting students throughout the school year is both a continuous and evolving process—that’s why we’re providing the following resources to ensure both current and prospective learners are getting the support they need along their journey.


Campuses are getting smarter, but is your institution prepared?

A smart campus—or a space where virtual and physical experiences can interact to serve a broad range of academic and operational priorities—can help drive positive outcomes for students, staff, faculty, and the larger community. However, achieving this type of campus is much easier said than done. Get a closer look at what goes into establishing a smart campus and the steps you can take to prepare your institution.


Long Beach City College revamped support for first-year students—here’s how

Long Beach City College Dean of Student Equity, Sonia De La Torre, and the Director of First-Year Experience at the school, Esteban Alfaro, discuss how technology, goal setting, and data collection helped them measure the impact of their efforts on students and the institution. Follow their journey and get advice on gaining buy-in from stakeholders, acting on their feedback appropriately, and making adjustments to ensure their processes and systems remain responsive to evolving student needs.



5 ways to support rural student success

Rural areas tend to have less access to high-speed internet, fewer transportation options, and scarcer job training resources than metropolitan areas. As such, students in these areas face distinct challenges in obtaining an education. Thankfully, community colleges are well-positioned to offer innovative services that meet those needs. Use these five imperatives to support rural students and help them advance in their careers and lives.


Are you prepared to recruit ‘Gen P’?

“Gen P”—the students whose past few years have been defined by the pandemic and its aftermath—interact with the world very differently than their predecessors. Thankfully, EAB’s Student Communication Preferences Survey has helped us better understand high school students’ college search behaviors and has become an ideal tool for determining whether an observed student behavior represents a true phenomenon. Check out the three key insights from our latest survey and discover ways that your institution can recruit this new generation of learners.


Enhance your strategy with EAB’s Blueprint for Growth Initiative

Blueprint for Growth is EAB’s signature, multi-year research initiative on the future of post-secondary enrollment, both undergraduate and graduate, domestic and international, degree and alternative. Based on cross-cutting and holistic market analysis, this research makes bold predictions to shape our partners’ future enrollment strategy. It goes beyond market sizing alone to uncover hidden risks and opportunities and the changing dynamics of competition, all while helping partner institutions anticipate whether and how they should grow. Explore our latest research to discover how we’re working with institutions to help them reach their goals.


Enjoy the first few weeks of returning to school, and we’ll see you again in September!

Until next time,
