The Confounding Promise of Community: Why It Matters More Than Ever for Student Success

What is the role of community—as a concept, an outcome, and an entity—in a liberal education, and how can community contribute to student success? How do students experience community, on and off campus? This webinar examined emerging definitions of community, ongoing efforts to create inclusive pathways for engagement, and ways community-based practices can advance inclusive excellence. From multiple institutional perspectives, presenters explored how a collective understanding of community could shape a commitment to equity and student success.
