Leveraging Peer Learning to Bridge Equity Gaps: Insights from Jacksonville University, Herzing University, and ICUF
On Tuesday, September 17th, I had the honor of moderating a webinar with Traci Ray, Vice President for Advocacy and Special Programs at the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF). The discussion featured representatives from Jacksonville University and Herzing University, including Dee Thornton, Director of Academic Technology at Jacksonville University; Bethany Huwe, Associate Vice President of Academic and Library Resources from Herzing University; and LeShawn Roberts, Regional Vice President of Operations at Herzing University. Together, we explored the role of peer learning strategies in closing equity gaps, driving meaningful student engagement, and building community in this challenging environment.
