Generation Now: Postsecondary Pathways for Older Learners
Find out how institutions can best serve older learners—those 35 and up—a driven and underserved population of current and potential students for U.S. universities.
Join Inside Higher Ed for a webcast discussion on why older learners—those 35 and up—are “generation now,” among other findings and takeaways from our new deep dive report.
As traditional-age enrollment declines and students 35 and up become an increasingly important enrollment pool, hear directly from higher education experts and older learners themselves about how colleges and universities can not just attract but best serve this growing demographic.
The discussion will include evidence-based practices and case studies for creating inclusive, flexible programs that reflect older learners’ unique needs, strengths and motivations—from financial barriers and work-life-study balance to the importance of recognizing prior learning and offering career-aligned curricula.
Come with your questions and leave with actionable insights on serving the 4-plus million older learners helping transform U.S. higher education. This independent editorial discussion is made possible with the support of AARP.
