Ep. 135: Reasons to Be Optimistic About Student Success Efforts
Student success leaders approve of their institutions’ educational quality, but there are key areas to promote undergraduate achievement and well-being that can be improved.
A growing number of colleges and universities are integrating life design into the student experience to improve student well-being, academic pursuits and future planning beyond graduation. Life design, which originates from the 2016 book Designing Your Life, uses design thinking principles to help guide individuals as they navigate change and transition, ultimately helping them find meaning and purpose in their lives.
