Description: State to state, college to college, each concurrent enrollment program looks a little different. From staffing to roles and responsibilities, there seems to be little continuity across programs. However, the challenges we all face seem to be similar across the board. During this webinar, you will hear from 2 concurrent enrollment programs in 2 different states on how they have structured their teams to support students through their concurrent enrollment journey. You will learn how they leverage other departments across their college and have advocated for increasing the number of staff supporting concurrent enrollment students. As we walk through the student's journey in concurrent enrollment from application to graduation, you will learn more about how two colleges have organized their concurrent enrollment offices, what positions are on their staff, and the strategic partnerships they have created.
