Innovative Partnerships for Adult Learner Success

Description:

This panel discussion highlights innovative approaches and lessons learned in serving adult learners of color through partnerships from the perspective of grantmakers, institutional liaisons, learning partners, and the lived experience of a former adult learner. We spotlight the internal and external partnerships institutions can form to motivate cultural, structural, and programmatic change to better serve adult learners of color at outreach, enrollment, and degree completion. The panel concludes with actionable insights for funders, institutions, and potential community partners.
