Three "Student Voices" conversations are scheduled for the Spring 2018 semester. Each conversation will highlight the experience of different group of students, with a focus on how their particular identities and backgrounds shape their experience as learners at Lehigh. A panel of three or four students will share their experiences in our classrooms and offer their perspectives on practices that they have found helpful or not so helpful. The hope is that participants in these conversations will leave with a broadened understanding of student diversity and an improved understanding of factors that affect student learning and student success.
