Access Isn’t Admission: Redefining Opportunity in Higher Education’s Next Era with Dr. James Steen Ep 26
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it really mean to provide access in higher education?
For decades, institutions have answered that question with a focus on admission — increasing application volume, improving yield, and shaping incoming classes.
But as this conversation between Jay Fedje and Dr. James Steen makes clear, that definition is no longer enough.
In today’s environment, access must be understood more broadly — encompassing not only entry, but connection, persistence, and completion.
This episode explores how enrollment leaders must rethink their role in the student lifecycle, particularly for transfer students, who often experience the greatest disconnect between access and success.
