How Are Universities Navigating the Headwinds? Useful Guidance on Ways to Speak to Students & Families About the State of U.S. Higher Education

Thursday, July 16, 2026 at 1:30 PM–2:30 PM EDT
Posvar 1502
Session Description

There have been significant challenges for U.S. higher education over the past few years. But does what you are hearing in social media match what’s happening on the ground? And how do we talk about it with students and families? Hear directly from universities and school counselors as we talk about the proverbial elephant in the room. Topics include: general higher education trends, enrollment, financial policies, research funding, student visas, and most importantly, how universities and counselors are supporting students during this time. Separate fact from fiction and have a dialogue with experienced colleagues.
