Every student's journey looks different. Built for Success explores how educators, cutting-edge AI, & holistic support frameworks can meet students where they are. Our focus centers on empowering neurodivergent & diverse learners across the entire pipeline from high school into the workforce.
Hosted at by the Front yard by Lubin School of Business, this gathering provides a collaborative space for educators, entrepreneurs, & advocates to bridge the gap between emerging EdTech solutions & sustainable student outcomes.
