Title:  The 5P Framework: Braiding Resources to Support Students

Date/Time:  Thursday, May 21st, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EST

Description:  For adult learners, veterans, and continuing education students, the ability to access education often depends on navigating complex systems and funding sources.

This session explores the 5P framework of how colleges can holistically support students through public messaging, partnerships, processes, pathways, and proximity. Drawing on recent insights from the Belk Center for Community College Leadership and Research, we will highlight how colleges are reaching more students through public messaging meant for adult learners, veterans, and continuing education students. We will discuss how colleges are collaborating with internal and external partners to reach and holistically support students and how they are streamlining processes to remove administrative barriers. Finally, we will discuss how colleges are designing pathways that are work-focused, flexible, and reduce students time-to-degree.  

 Attendees will leave with a practical framework for aligning resources to increase completion rates for the students who need it most.
