Abstract
In the quest for equitable student success, assessment professionals from higher education and supporting organizations face a myriad of challenges. As part of the Grand Challenges in Assessment Project, twenty-four leaders in equity-informed assessment practices were interviewed to share their experiences. They revealed the internal and external barriers they navigate daily, from mental stress and isolation to structural obstacles. These professionals are on the front lines, striving to ensure all students have equal access and outcomes, despite the uphill battle against entrenched resistance and apathy. Their stories highlight the resilience and dedication required to push for meaningful change.
