This is the third discussion in our current 360 Discussion Series on Modern Learners: Navigating Multiple Personas and Commitments. The findings of our 2023 Student Financial Wellness Survey show 38% of respondents consider themselves workers attending school rather than students who work. Trying to fit academics around a work schedule can create competing priorities and force these modern learners to regularly choose between needs and goals. In this discussion, Dr. Debra Chromy, Dr. Dave Clayton, and Erica Simon will discuss how changes in student employment expectations and obligations impact student success.
