Opportunity Melt: Higher Ed's Leaky Pipeline

Description:

Institutions spend millions on recruiting and enrollment, only to see their pipeline of admitted students melt, with up to 40% of those accepted failing to attend--many after giving up on the financial aid process. It is a problem with profound economic implications for institutions and a disparate impact on low-income and first-gen students. This panel will help university leadership identify the questions they should ask and steps they can take to stop leaks in the pipeline at their school.
