Momentum Summit III Day 2 Agenda
The focus of Day 2 of the Momentum Summit is on investigating and exploring strategies consistent with the Momentum Approach framework that support students as they move beyond their first year or which extend beyond their academic journey to encompass the entire student experience on campus. Much as with Day 1, institutions will engage in breakout sessions to inform their deliberations during planning time. Team planning time is provided to support institutions as they map out their work to develop a Momentum Approach to student success. Planning time will end with an opportunity for institutions to share preliminary plans with other institutions.
