The next few years could be a turning point for higher education, as the traditional student population starts to shift dramatically. How long will the total number of new high school graduates continue to decline? Of that pool of students, what percentages will be black and Latino or from low-income backgrounds? What will these changes herald for postsecondary education?

Speakers: Bridget Terry Long, Academic Dean, Harvard Graduate School of Education; Brian Prescott, Director of Policy Research, Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education; Larry Gordon, Higher Education Writer, Los Angeles Times (moderator)

Recorded Saturday, Sept. 28 at EWA's 2013 Higher Ed Seminar, Guess Who's Coming to Campus: What Demographic Changes Mean for Colleges and Reporters.
