Abstract:
|
Jacobs & Hundley (2010) described adult learners as, 'individuals who are typically over the age of twenty-five or who occupy social roles that would otherwise signal adulthood.' Due to life circumstances and the fact that traditional higher education institutions are often not organized with the adult learner in mind, these students face barriers to success. This session will address several aspects of the adult learner experience including why they are important to institutions, their need to balance personal responsibilities with college demands, the importance of accessible resources and structures throughout their experience, and how [INSTITUTION NAME] is offering support. |
