Latino Student Success: Promising Financial Aid Strategies Given the current educational attainment levels for students of color, demands for economic competitiveness, and projected Latino demographic growth in the United States, increasing college-degree attainment requires a focus on minority students. Higher education leaders will need measures, tactics, and strategies that will encourage expansion and replication of effective policies and practices. This session will emphasize financial aid as an equity tool for Latino student success. |

Leading Indicators Toward Student Success How do we know whether we are on track to improve graduation rates when the final-outcome data lag? A mounting body of research points to some early milestones, such as credit accumulation in the first year, that correlate highly with students’ eventual degree completion. Come learn about the work that seven A2S systems have done to identify and test a set of “leading indicators,” and learn more about current research in the field. Jennifer Engle and Christina Theokas, The Education Trust |
| 10:00am - 11:40am |
Strategic Enrollment Management for Equity Postsecondary institutions must develop an intentional and informed approach to managing their enrollments. This session brings a comprehensive enrollment-management perspective to the goals of Access, Affordability, and Attainment—all defined within the context of each institution’s particular market position. |

Paula Short, Tennessee Board of Regents; Jan Somerville, NASH |

Understanding the Access to Success Baseline Metrics This session will discuss cross-system themes and trends from the analysis of the A2S baseline system-level data.
