Summary

Most conversations about education reflect the perspective and agenda of the institutions that provide educational services rather than the needs of the students they serve. Yet as higher education undergoes a fundamental transition toward more student-centered, outcomes-based approaches and practices, it’s imperative that we provide stakeholders with timely and relevant insights into the student experience.

To that end, the Business Innovation Factory's Student Experience Lab has launched exploratory work during the past three years to bring the student experience to life in a new way in order to make the student voice more central to our conversation about transforming education. We invite you to join us on September 12 as we explore research related to the student experience, how students can play an active role in education reform, and demonstrate an experience model framework that creates a critical link between all stakeholders in the system.
