FREE Webinar - Improving College Readiness within your Institution

A complimentary one-hour webinar sponsored by Pearson and hosted by The Chronicle of Higher Education!

Thursday, January 24, 2013
11:00 a.m. Pacific; 2:00 p.m. Eastern

According to Complete College America, 40% of incoming freshman are not college ready. Institutions, more than ever, are being tasked to implement solutions to address this critical issue while facing a complex set of challenges. Through all this one thing is clear, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to developmental education.

In this webinar, key academic leaders from Cleveland State Community College and West Virginia University at Parkersburg will share their experiences in thinking outside of the box to create enhanced developmental education programs that serve students in a personalized manner to accelerate remediation.

Leveraging a partnership with Pearson, the solutions these leaders devised increase student engagement, reduce time spent in remedial courses, and have a positive effect on student outcomes.

Join Dr. Carl Hite, President of Cleveland State Community College, and Dr. Rhonda Tracy, Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs at West Virginia University at Parkersburg as they discuss:

• The unique challenges they faced that drove their redesign efforts
• Working with Pearson to map out the strategy most appropriate for their institution
• The processes that their administration and faculty engaged in during implementation 
• The final solution and the impact it has on college readiness within their institution
