Building the Bridge: Student Voices on Pathways to the Higher Ed IT Workforce
This session was previously recorded in Nashville.
How do we cultivate the next generation of leaders in higher education IT? Hear directly from recipients of the EDUCAUSE Scholarship for Students—emerging professionals who are attending the conference through a competitive award that includes mentorship from seasoned leaders in the field. In this panel, students will share their experiences, insights, and advice on navigating the transition from academic programs to meaningful careers in higher ed IT. Topics will include mentorship, professional development, networking, and what institutions and organizations can do to better support early career professionals. Join us for a candid and inspiring conversation about building a stronger, more inclusive pipeline into the profession.
