Great Conversations - Cia Verschelden

We all, including our students, come to our daily activities with certain stressors that require some of our limited, mental bandwidth. For our students, bandwidth stealers affect their capacity to learn. Some of our students, however, face higher demands of their bandwidth. Non-majority students, students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, and first generation students are more likely to experience conditions that steal bandwidth. In this Great Conversation, Yolanda Treviño, Assistant Vice President for Strategy, Planning, and Assessment at Indiana University, talks with Cia Verschelden, Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs at Malcolm X College and author of Bandwidth Recovery, about strategies to help our students regain lost cognitive resources so they can learn, grow, and live meaningful lives.​
