May 16th Webinar: Closing CPL Equity Gaps — Lessons from the CAEL-WICHE Award Winners

Upcoming: May 16th at 1 pm CT

Join CAEL and WICHE to learn about the 2024 CPL Equity Awards, recognizing seven pioneering institutions’ work to close equity gaps in their credit for prior learning programs. Presenters from CAEL and WICHE will provide an overview of common themes across the award winners, and three of the award winners will share details about their approaches and outcomes — and how they’ve expanded CPL access and success for Black, Latino/a, and other underrepresented adult learners.
