The Symposium on Academic Resilience in Higher Education brings together participants from a diversity of roles in higher education to share ideas, have conversations, and learn from one another in ways that forward our work and promote academic resilience.

The symposium is designed to surface and explore questions such as:

  • How do we define resilience, particularly academic resilience?
  • How do we understand resilience in the context of diverse identities and experiences?
  • How do we assess and promote resilience?
  • How do different perspectives from academic and student affairs approach and support students in developing resilience?
  • What are we doing on our campuses to support student resilience?
