Today we're cozying up with some new reads, including our newest series of research briefs! ?? https://lnkd.in/e_bfY3di Issue 3 clarifies the relationship between advising and participation in HIPs, interrogating and amplifying the equity potential embedded in this relationship, including how advising creates pathways for meaningful and equitable engagement in HIPs. Issue 4 synthesizes the findings across the first three studies, yielding new conclusions and implications for current practices in advising, revealing areas in which more research is needed in order to advance the line of inquiry around advising and HIPs, and charting the next steps in higher education scholarship and practice too. Many thanks to the authors of these issues: Jennifer Keup, Jillian Kinzie, & Kiisha Hilliard. Special thanks to the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) for their collaboration and support of these briefs.

In Spring 2024, USU hosted the Accelerate Pitch Competition, which garnered innovative solutions to create and scale success initiatives for undergraduate adult learners studying at urban-serving universities. Over the next several months, this blog series will periodically feature updates from the pitch competition finalists to share their programs and ideas for supporting adult learners. Today, we're kicking it off with a spotlight on Wayne State University. We hope you can use this to spark ideas and connections that will help your adult learners on their path to graduation! ?? #AdultLearners #UALI

Join me as I speak with Dr. Amber Anderson and Dr. Pamela O'Neal about their innovative summer bridge program for adult learners. The Wichita State team recently received a $10,000 grant to fund this initiative. This spring, USU hosted the inaugural Accelerate Pitch Competition to fund innovative and research-backed ideas to sustain or scale an initiative at a USU-member institution. This year’s competition focused on initiatives supporting adult learners, generally defined as students over 25 earning their first bachelor’s degree. Participants were asked to submit a short video detailing the initiative and were judged on their innovation, integration of research, feasibility of implementation, and potential for positive impact. In addition, four universities were named as finalists for Accelerate Pitch Competition: Portland State University Virginia Commonwealth University University of North Texas Wayne State University
Congratulations to Wichita State University for winning USU's inaugural Accelerate Pitch Competition! WSU will use this investment to continue building support systems for adult learners on campus through a summer bridge program. We are excited to see their successes moving forward! ? In addition, we would like to congratulate Wayne State University, Virginia Commonwealth University, University of North Texas, and Portland State University for receiving recognition as finalists for their innovative and research-backed pitches to create more equitable and sustainable programs for adult learners on their respective campuses. ?
