Students' choice of university has no effect on new graduate pay, and a small impact later on. What they study matters more | The Student Voice | Scoop.it

2022 Students and Technology Report: Rebalancing the Student Experience

2022 Students and Technology Report: Rebalancing the Student Experience | The Student Voice | Scoop.it
Higher education is undeniably in the midst of transformative shifts, with pandemic-era challenges catapulting progress where many argue it would have taken decades to effect change. With this state of higher education in mind, we embarked on this year's study of students and technology, seeking evidence for students' needs and wants in "the new normal." During the spring of 2022, EDUCAUSE conducted a national survey of 820 undergraduate students in the United States. (For more information, see the Methodology section.) Students' message to higher education leaders is clear: it's time to rebalance. The country is evidently shifting focus to "working to live" instead of "living to work," and students are no different.
