Webinar Details
In today’s dynamic higher education environment, student success increasingly depends on transforming their experience—perhaps beginning even before arrival on campus. Mike Griffith and Bobbie Garner-Coffie from Tulane University present their innovative approach, which started at summer orientation and continued through the Tulane Interdisciplinary Experience Seminar (TIDES) for incoming students.
Mike and Bobbie ground their innovation through specific strategic pillars: early access to digital tools, responsible use of AI, creativity, and fostering a sense of belonging. They then connect the dots from aspiration to action as they review the pedagogical design of the student projects, highlighting exceptional, creative results.
Finally, Bobbie Garner-Coffie will share two practical take-away resources to inspire similar initiatives:
