Student Voices Matter More Than Ever

The big idea

November is all about Student Voices—the stories and perspectives that remind us why innovation in higher education must start with the learner.

Why it matters

Students are the pulse of every conversation about change. Their lived experiences cut through policy debates and bring focus to what matters most: access, relevance, and success.

What’s next

We’ll carry that momentum into our Spring Policy Meeting in Washington, DC on March 24–25, 2026. Expect deeper dives on student engagement, equity, and data-informed innovation.

The ask

This month, we invite member institutions to highlight how their students are being served and heard. Share examples, stories, and insights that capture the learner perspective and how it’s shaping your campus.

The bottom line

Every innovation starts with listening. Centering students isn’t just good practice—it’s the path forward for higher education.
