2/15/20248:30 AM10:30 AMGeneral InterestWelcome and Keynote SessionBallroom ABHigher education practitioners, regardless of their role, have the obligation - and honor - to see students beyond their ID number, beyond their circumstances, to learn more about their stories and situations. These days, our work is so data-driven - and while that absolutely has its place and purpose, if we will focus on meeting students where they are, one at a time, getting to know them as part of our work and interaction, whatever our role is, we will have higher rates of success, completion, graduation and transfer. And that individual touch - that community - is what ultimately moves the needle on student success by creating that culture of caring at an institution. In the keynote, we share practical ways for everyone to do that not only with students, but with their colleagues as well in order to break down the silos we spoke of that we know are so prevalent at our institutions.Dr. James R. McCoy and Charlene Gibson
