Valuing The Student Voice: Understanding And Responding To Student Concerns, Craig D. Hlavac, Sarah E. Gossman

Many higher education institutions unintentionally make it challenging for students to raise concerns. Students often feel intimidated by faculty and administrators, yet most grievance processes require students to take the initiative to voice a concern.

To alleviate the stress of students, alternative perspectives must be considered. This session will provide participants with practical strategies for developing processes that respect the student voice and encourage students to bring forward their concerns. Group discussions and scenario-based breakout sessions will be included.
