The higher education community is navigating urgent challenges: students arriving less academically prepared, increasing questions about the long-term value of a degree, and shifting expectations around student support. To advance their missions in this environment, institutions need scalable, evidence-based strategies. Peer tutoring offers a powerful, high-impact practice that responds to these challenges while transforming the student experience. Join UERU and Knack for a collaborative virtual town hall featuring Dr. George Kuh, renowned thought leader on High-Impact Practices, alongside undergraduate education leaders who oversee student and academic success strategies.

Panelists include:

• Candice Calhoun-Butts, Assistant Vice Provost, Retention and Completion, University of Texas at Arlington
• Robin Gore, Vice Chancellor for Student Success, Missouri S&T University
• Page Keller, Vice President of Academic Relations, Knack
• George Kuh, Chancellor's Professor Emeritus, Indiana University Bloomington

This panel will explore three critical focus areas:

1. Scaling support that builds belonging and confidence, while driving key metrics like DFW and retention rates
2. Implementing peer tutoring as a high-impact practice with proven, evidence-based strategies
3. Mobilizing a trained network of peer tutors at scale, whether embedded within your institution or extended to support transfer pathways Attendees will gain actionable strategies for leveraging peer tutoring as both a student success tool and an institutional solution, with practical insights for administrators seeking measurable impact across diverse student populations.
