Description

Join EverTrue and LearnLaunch for a discussion on the changing face of higher eduction in Boston and beyond.

The night will kick-off with a Keynote by Jeff Selingo, author of the recently published College (Un)bound, followed by a panel discussion moderated by EverTrue CEO, Brent Grinna.
The panel discussion will focus on various topics such as the role of specialized skills and programs beyond typical higher ed, utilizing data to better match students and institutions, as well as the role of community and alumni relations.
We hope to bring together educators from around Boston as well as those focused on ed tech efforts in the community for a lively discussion.
