Looking Ahead: How Can Community Colleges Navigate their Enrollment Futures?

November 16 | 8:45 - 10:00 AM ET

After nearly 10 years of slow, steady declines across the sector, community colleges experienced the worst enrollment impacts during the pandemic. As they look ahead and work to serve a growing population of adults, and a shrinking high school graduate pool nationally, key questions emerge.

  • What are some of the factors that contributed to these sharp declines? 
  • What do two-year institutions need to do to serve their learners of all ages and from all socioeconomic groups? 
  • How can two-year institutions leverage enrollments from all their programs, including technical/workforce programs, to help employers meet increasing demands for a skilled workforce? 
  • What do four-year institutions need to know to both help their two-year partners and increase their enrollment of transfer students? 

Come to learn, ask questions, and network with experts and leaders.
