Higher Education Professors at SXSW EDU 2024
As a higher education professor, you play a pivotal role in shaping students’ academic success and experiences during their postsecondary education. Your role as an educator and expert in your field provides you the unique opportunity to serve as a mentor along with opening a network of opportunities for your students.
It is likely that one of your many goals is to create stimulating environments for your students. Figuring out how to engage students beyond the test score to ensure a deep understanding of the content is an evergreen challenge. But other challenges in higher education are constantly evolving, especially with a plethora of added variables, including emerging technologies such as AI. Adapting can be a challenge in itself.
The community at SXSW EDU tackles these challenges head on by exploring solutions and sharing best practices. Gain inspiration and the tools you need to accelerate your professional development from your peers and experts in your field this March.
