The Student Impact Report is where student leadership meets real-world impact. Each episode dives into the latest news affecting students and shares the stories of student leaders driving change on their campuses and beyond.
From tackling food and housing insecurity to pushing for policy reforms and advocating for a more affordable, accessible higher education system, we highlight the power of student voices in shaping the future. Beyond higher education, we also explore broader issues impacting students, including economic justice, healthcare access, and civic engagement.
Join us as we break down the biggest challenges facing students, celebrate student-led solutions, and inspire the next generation of changemakers.
