The Future of the Holistic Student Experience

Increasingly, higher education stakeholders are recognizing the value—and the imperative—of empowering students to bring their whole selves to college and, to that end, are providing holistic programming and learning opportunities. Fostering student connection and belonging through multiple modalities and providing proactive and wide-ranging mental health resources while attending to issues of accessibility and inclusion are increasingly common on campuses.

For this Horizon Report edition focusing on supporting the holistic student experience in higher education, panelist discussion reflected these themes and mind-set. This report summarizes the results of those discussions and offers a grounded perspective on multiple possibilities for where our future may be headed.
