The Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development (MDHEWD) is scheduled to host a webinar, Thursday, April 15, as part of its Bridges to Success Equity Webinar series.

Dr. Natissia Small, assistant provost for access and academic support at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, will give a virtual presentation on barriers to college access and how they can be overcome.

Thursday’s webinar is the latest in a series of monthly presentations given by educators and advocates aimed at promoting equity throughout Missouri’s colleges and universities.

MDHEWD’s Office of Postsecondary Policy recently published a corresponding white paper on Guided Pathways, a robust support system aimed at helping students choose their major and adjust their course load in order to thrive in the classroom while maintaining a healthy school-work-life balance.

Monthly equity webinars are scheduled to take place from now until June. You can download the white paper, register for the upcoming webinar, and see future webinar dates at https://dhewd.mo.gov/equity_project.php.
