What if college wasn’t just about academics but also about personal growth, well-being, and purpose? At the University of Denver, the 4D Experience is making this a reality, creating a transformative model for student success. This innovative approach weaves together four dimensions—intellectual growth, purpose-driven careers, well-being, and character exploration—to guide students through a holistic education journey. From peer mentorship programs and reflective first-year seminars to retreats at the Kennedy Mountain Campus, DU empowers students to connect their learning with meaningful life paths. Laura Perille, Ph.D., Executive Director of the 4D Experience, said, “We encourage students to think about their ‘why’—what motivates them and how they want to contribute to the world... We’re getting them to actually think about their ‘why’ as the driving force of thinking about potential careers and majors.” Dive into how DU is creating a "constellation of support" for its students and leading the way in holistic education in our latest article on LearningWell, from Nichole Bernier:

Champion for AI in Higher Education. Executive leader, consultant, speaker, & coach. President Glass Half Full Consulting. Founder AHECC.
In today's blog from my new series "Beyond Future-Gazing: A Now-ist Approach to Higher Ed Innovation", we dig into "Navigating Complex Terrain in Higher Education- DEI in a new reality." The path forward requires both courage and wisdom.

Key takeaways from our President's (Claire Brady, Ed.D) blog today: 1) The most successful approaches focus on concrete actions rather than symbolic gestures. 2) Regional context plays a vital role in how institutions approach DEI work. 3) Professional development has emerged as a key lever for advancing inclusion. 4) Data collection and analysis have become increasingly sophisticated tools for advancing equity goals. 5) In order to build resilient DEI initiatives that can weather political and social changes, consider integrating inclusive practices so deeply into institutional operations that they become inseparable from core academic and administrative functions.

Senior Vice President for University Advancement, William & Mary | CEO, W&M Foundation | Co-Founder & Managing Director, Extra Credit Ventures
As more people question the value of higher education, I believe those of us who have experienced the transformative impact of a college degree, and those of us who are working to advance and sustain the opportunities provided by a higher education need to continue to explain why it matters more than ever. A William & Mary education, in particular, can change forever the trajectory of a family, a nation, and the world. Here are some reflections I shared with our Tribe on how we are building a better tomorrow at the Alma Mater of the Nation. https://lnkd.in/esexYSUv
