After facing the adversities of the pandemic and last year’s national reckoning about race, most students are more engaged than ever before, demonstrating a higher level of maturity and empathy and showing more openness to racial and social justice issues.
As the 2021-2022 academic year redefines the education landscape, how can faculty and professional staff be better prepared to assist students in applying skills like critical thinking to embrace real societal change? In what ways can we create new pathways for student success by providing proper resources and support specific to this more informed generation of young people?
