I'm new to higher ed. I've been in my role 10 months at this point, coming out of corporate environments where engagement challenges are not dissimilar. ;)
What I learned was that what "we" think students want (I inherited a lot of assumptions when I picked up the previous iteration of our program) and what is actually of interest to students is wildly different - AND - students don't know what they CAN want, so we can't just rely on the standard replies to build programming.Employer-centric programming is key for us. Students have enough academic-related "stuff" to do. Professional development workshops, in and of themselves, are NOT sexy. Connecting those conversations with real, live (... even if virtual)...) employers is crucial.
