As interest in re-enrolling stopped-out students grows, many colleges and universities face a core challenge: building institutional buy-in for a re-enrollment initiative while ensuring the institution itself is student-ready. 

An editorial webcast hosted by Inside Higher Ed and InsideTrack will explore the return on investment of re-enrollment—for learners, institutions and communities—and why proving clear ROI is crucial to making the case for an enrollment initiative, including to executive leadership.  

Expert panelists Martin Kurzweil (Ithaka S+R), Amy Daxenbichler (Illinois Central College), Mike Krause (John M. Belk Endowment), Leanne Davis (Education Northwest), Ruth Bauer (InsideTrack), Collean Flaherty (Inside Higher Ed), and Sara Custer (Inside Higher Ed) will examine the groundwork required for a successful launch, including establishing adult-ready policies and streamlined and simplified processes. The discussion will also surface typical pressure points in re-enrollment initiatives and consider how holistic support helps students persist through completion, not just return.
