Sponsored by the ODU Center for Social Mobility and made possible by the SCHEV Fund for Excellence and Innovation Grant, the Virginia Social Mobility Workshop brings together leaders in Virginia to develop strategies to expand affordability, access, and completion in higher education. Participants will learn about social mobility, develop action items that support student success, and work to close equity gaps.
Workshop Goals
Leaders will identify practices tied to social mobility that they:
- Currently have in place and want to continue on their campus
- Can enhance - creating scalable programs that support the changing Virginia demographic
- Do not currently utilize but want to implement
- Can partner with other institutions in the Commonwealth to address
Action Plan
Sessions at key points during the workshop will enable higher education leaders to create action plans they can use when they return to their campus.
Team Leads
Provosts and Chief Student Affairs, Student Success, and/or Enrollment
