Keynote: Making Relationship-Rich Experiences the Heart of Higher Education. Scholars have documented how relationships with peers, faculty, and staff profoundly influence learning, belonging, and achievement for all undergraduates, and particularly for new majority students. Educational relationships contribute to everything from disciplinary learning to identity development in college, and also have long-term professional, civic, and personal legacies. In this interactive session, we will explore findings from a new national study to consider why and how to design relationship-rich experiences for students in and out of the classroom.

Graduate TAs are welcome to attend.
