An engaging webinar with leading experts who will discuss the best strategies for re-engaging disengaged students.

STEM instructors are dealing with disengaged students, many of whom have mental health challenges as well as learning gaps. Instructors have compassion fatigue and are trying to teach Gen Z the same way they learned — to disappointing results. This video will help you come away with a better understanding of why Gen Z is different, how to approach Gen Z in the classroom, and practical tips to take care of your own health and well-being.

Watch Dr. Julie M. Albright, Digital Sociologist at USC, present how Digital Media Impacts Gen Z Student Engagement & Mental Health followed by a Q&A session with our Senior Director of Global Marketing, Hilary Pennington.
