Presentation from Salesforce.org Higher Ed Summit 2017 by: Melissa Kwilsoz of ASU Enterprise Partners
The modern economy requires education beyond high school. Today's K-12 system must ensure students can be successful in entering and persisting in higher ed -- and, in turn, the workforce. Everyone has a stake in this challenge -- from K-12 institutions to the programs supporting these students to the universities themselves. Come hear from a panel of education thought leaders discuss strategies and linkages that do (or should) exist, and how we can all work together to prepare students to succeed in college and career.
