Four out of 10 U.S. undergraduates never finish college; during this panel discussion, we’ll share findings from the recent How America Completes College 2024 research study on the factors that impact a student’s journey to college graduation. Additionally, we will explore college support systems, education motivations and perceptions, and more to identify barriers and opportunities to support students and families as they work toward achieving a college degree. Mental health is a key contributing factor in student decisions to drop out, join our panelists for a discussion about what supports can really help to engage and retain students.
How America Succeeds after College
Wednesday, May 14, 2025 2pm ET/1pm CT, 12pm MT/11am PT
For most students pursuing higher education, a college degree is not a goal in itself; rather it is a steppingstone that will set them up for success in the future. Join us for a discussion of Sallie Mae’s brand-new research study How America Succeeds After College where we will uncover how young college graduates view success at this stage in their lives. We’ll dive in to understand what contributes or prevents them from feeling successful, what actions taken before, during and shortly after college have the greatest impact, and what can be done to ensure that more grads succeed.
