Ep. 214: Voices of Student Success: When Nontraditional Students Become the Norm
Inside Higher Ed’s Voices of Student Success discusses what colleges need to rethink as “nontraditional” students increasingly reflect today’s college population.
To get a leadership perspective on this challenge, we spoke with Elfred Anthony Pinkard, the president of Wilberforce University, who talked about how his students have been coping with the nation's racial reckoning as well as the pandemic.
We also spoke with Dr. Alan Dennington, the chief medical officer at TimelyMD, a telehealth provider focused on college students, who described a spike in demand for mental health counseling among students, and what appears to be driving it.
