When students are engaged and feel that they belong at their school, they benefit from wide-ranging positive effects. They tend to use school resources at higher rates, experience better mental health, earn higher GPAs, and graduate at higher rates. But many groups including first-generation, Pell-eligible, working parents, and online students, do not always have access to equal opportunities for engagement. This session will share powerful research around the importance of accelerating student engagement for all students, and look at some of the ways mobile technology has been used at specific institutions to support underrepresented students and prevent them from becoming at-risk.
