One of higher education’s crowning achievements is that colleges and universities are currently educating many groups of people who have been denied access to this resource in the past.

This new student profile may be more familiar to Student Affairs’ offices, but the educational implications extend to the whole campus. Members of NERCHE’s Student Affairs Think Tank discussed this topic at one of their meetings and offer the following insights.
