What's Inside

AASCU’s Summer Meeting for Academic and Student Affairs Leaders convenes provosts, vice presidents for student affairs, and their teams for timely and relevant conversations about the challenges facing regional public universities, with a focus on helping students succeed. The work represented in this special issue highlights some of the creative solutions that regional public universities are pursuing in the face of enrollment and revenue declines in order to maintain the highest quality experience for students while continuing to serve their regions. The hallmarks of the regional public university are represented here: a commitment to serving every student through data-informed practices and a commitment to building connections with external partners to meet the needs of the regions they serve.
