The tenth and final chapter of the 2021-2022
President to President thought leadership series is available online today. In “
The Post-Pandemic Student Success Imperative,” Elmhurst University President Troy D. VanAken, Ph.D., describes strategies for ensuring student success at every step of the academic journey, from recruitment to graduation. He explains the importance of selecting students who will thrive within the campus culture, helping students find a sense of belonging, providing resources that support retention, and more.
As we wrap up this year's
President to President series, titled “
The Vitality and Power of Higher Education,” we will be publishing all 10 chapters in a comprehensive volume online. Look for the link to download the complete 2021-2022 series in your inbox in the coming weeks.
