DEIJ Summit: Being a Student-Ready Campus

About the event

This two-hour summit provides time for all WSU community members to learn more about what it means to be a student-ready campus. Rather than focusing primarily on whether students are college-ready, institutions are becoming student-ready by changing policies, processes, and practices to better serve students and reduce barriers to success.
