Stakeholders of higher education are best able to empower learners and effect change when different institutions work together in the best interests of students. As colleges, CEGEPs, universities, and institutes, we can learn from each other, and from our students’ experiences of us. Conversations about the prevalence and steady growth of pathway and transfer activity among post-secondary students in Canada reflect the future of an innovative, responsive, accessible, and student-centred education system; they allow us to understand our students, their backgrounds, and diverse educational contexts; and they encourage us to reflect on how teaching and learning practices develop across institutions.
