Urban Adult Learner Institute

In today's rapidly evolving educational landscape, urban adult learners play a vital role. Adult learners, often balancing work, family responsibilities, and financial constraints, possess a wealth of assets, face specific challenges, and require tailored support to succeed. It is our shared responsibility as educational leaders to ensure equitable access, persistence, and completion rates for adult learners, one of the fastest-growing student populations.

​

APLU/USU are excited to offer the Urban Adult Learner Institute (UALI, pronounced "you-all-ee") which aims to build awareness, disseminate best practices, and gather national momentum in support of this critical learner population.

​

We invite you and your colleagues to join us on this transformative journey. By participating in UALI, you will gain access to a network of like-minded leaders, resources, and opportunities for collaboration. Together, we can create a collective voice for change and pave the way for improved outcomes for urban adult learners across the country.
